A Ruan, the only daughter of the general, stayed alone in her empty house and played the flute to express her longing for her father ten years after he conquered northern Xinjiang. The bamboo flute engraved with plum blossoms is the only connection between her and her father. When Concubine Xiang Zhu cried blood and warned her, she realized that her father's life was hanging by a thread.
The enchanting bamboo inkstone in green clothes transformed into a bamboo forest. In order to repay her kindness for having been nurtured by the sound of the flute for ten years, he was willing to cut her bones into flags and burn her soul into a torch to forcefully open the way to the netherworld and help her lead her soul back to the sun. Ruan used the essence and blood in his heart as a guide to finally recall his father's remnant soul, but all he saw was an empty shell with no memory. The bamboo inkstone dispersed the soul, leaving only the charred and withered bamboo body.
Ah Ruan guarded the bamboo with white hair, killed it with yellow spring stone, broke the prince's trap, helped the emperor get rid of the traitors, and searched for his father's soul, and finally found the bamboo blooming again and the green branches sprouting again. When Zhu Yan returned as a young man, he was as confused as when he first met him. This is a poignant legend about obsession, sacrifice and waiting - some people exchange lives for lives, some exchange souls for souls, and in the ashes of despair, love and commitment finally blossom into stubborn flowers.
