The Jiang family's legitimate daughter had never received even a trace of her father's favor since birth. She and her mother and younger sister Qiqi relied on one another. After her father passed away, she encountered Huikong, a monk from Jingxin Temple, in the mourning hall. His serene, simple figure became the only light in her dark years. Defying social norms, she made frequent trips to the temple and boldly confessed her feelings, only to receive his words of "pity" and the barrier of Buddhist discipline in return.
On a snowy night, she climbed the mountain to find him, fell into the snow, and found herself in danger. There she ran into Han Su, an old acquaintance whose family had been destroyed and who had become a bandit. Past grudges and present peril intertwined. Her mother died of illness, her family fell into decline, and rumors followed her everywhere. Forced to put aside her longing, she returned to Jingxin Temple in early spring and learned that Huikong had already left the clergy.
The sorrow of a love divided between monk and layperson, old grudges that cannot be laid to rest, the twists of fate, and the tender seeds of hope are all hidden in every meeting and parting.
Theme: Even after the peach blossoms have all fallen, the faintest hope of reunion remains.
