Across the vast immortal mountains, the waters of Bo Lian'er ripple beneath drifting clouds and mist, their source impossible to see. A river flows down from the summit, nourishing every living thing in the mountains.
Flowers, birds, plants, trees, spirits, and waters: Xiao Xin, the spirit of the sakura grass; Zhu Jiu, the bird of Qingchuan; and Bai Cen, master of the Lian River. When they take human form and enter the mortal world, each carrying feelings they barely understand, they disturb the still waters of spring and spark one extraordinary tale after another of love, hate, and tangled affections.
