There is only one painting soul in thousands of years. Although it is a lonely soul, it possesses magical power. The admiration of everyone is the source of its magic power. The more people admire the painting, the stronger the magic power of the painting soul will be. The duty of the painting soul is to protect the painting so that the masterpiece can be passed down for thousands of years.
Ye Chengxue, a talented girl from the Great Zhou Dynasty, made a painting called "Eight Leaves of Yellow Crane". Everyone thought this painting was exquisite, but what they didn't know was that Ye Chengxue was in the painting at this moment.
After she finished this painting, she was killed by her admirer, Xu Qiege, the crown prince of Zhou Dynasty. Xu Qiege couldn't get her love so he killed her. A ray of lonely soul entered the painting and became the soul of the painting.
Later, Ye Chengxue learned that his mother was the Empress of Zhou Dynasty. Because of some trouble in her mother's family, the emperor wanted to kill the queen's unborn child. In order to save Ye Chengxue, the queen faked her death and left the palace, hiding her name.
In this way, Ye Chengxue became Baye.
The mythical beast heard that Baye had become a painting soul. Under the orders of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he came down to earth to help Baye practice.
