Rong Yue is a rich heiress with a naturally wicked streak, an only child and the apple of her parents' eye. She's best at pretending to be a delicate, innocent beauty so people will dote on her. That is, until one day her parents' affection turns to neglect, because they're celebrating the son they're about to have.
She runs away from home with the culprit, a crooked Daoist priest who'll do anything for money, and sets out on a life of wandering. She doesn't want to be a good person, and she isn't one anyway. She's made up her mind to travel the world with the crooked priest and wreak havoc wherever they go!
The Daoist originally planned to take her home, but the girl refuses no matter what and even clings to him so he can't leave. She's a naturally gifted spirit medium and a human-shaped medicinal ingredient, a rare and valuable heart amber.
He doesn't stop Rong Yue from following him, but he also stops approaching her of his own accord, as if hoping she'll come to her senses and avoid following him down a path of no return.
“Ah, since you're following me, I can't let you go hungry.” Yun Chu'an says this, but really he's afraid of letting the precious heart amber starve to death.
Theme: Don't follow the female lead's example and run away from home.
