[Dream of the Red Chamber] + [Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio] + [The Legend of the White Snake]
As a thousand-year-old snake who has been single all her life, Xiao Qing can no longer stand watching her older sister, Bai Suzhen, and Xu Xian show off their love every day. A few days ago, her human best friend Xing Xiuyan went to Jinling City to stay with relatives, so Xiao Qing decides to tag along and look around.
As for Xing Xiuyan, she's the bravest human girl Xiao Qing has ever met. Even after seeing Xiao Qing's true form, she only smiled and said that if she really wanted to eat people, she wouldn't bother teasing her first.
What Xiao Qing never expected was that Xing Xiuyan's relatives would be so wealthy. The place she was staying was called the Grand View Garden, and it was magnificent. The girls there were all beautiful, too. Xiao Qing had been enjoying herself for several days when she heard that her spirit friend Ying Ning had gotten into trouble.
Ying Ning was a straw spirit. She was dating a mortal named Wang Zifu, and had been hunted by Fahai, a monk from Jinshan Temple. Her magic was weak, and that mad monk nearly beat her to death.
That bald donkey Fahai is unreasonable. Who knows what got into him? He goes out of his way to harass spirits who date humans, and always takes things to extremes. If they don't listen to him, he tries to kill them.
And it wasn't just Ying Ning. Qiurong, Xiaoqian, Xiaowei... He had all given them trouble.
That damned hypocrite Fahai kills spirits who date humans, but spares humans who date spirits, all because he's human himself. What a disgrace to the dignity of Buddhism!
Poor Xiao Qing, a thousand-year-old snake who's always been single, is working herself to death fighting Fahai day after day so her friends can all be happy.
Then one day, she realizes something. Why does that bald donkey only go after her friends? Is the circle of spirits he knows really that small?
Theme: Female spirits are all so lovable.
