The wandering youth Bai Xiaochuan meets, one after another, the maid Feifei, the merchant's daughter Jinbao, the thousand-year-old cat demon Mo Ran, the flower fairy Ziyan, the general's daughter Qiuyan, the martial arts master Situ Caifeng, the transmigrated woman Bilian, the demoness Yue Bai, Mudan, daughter of an elder of the Black Tribe, and Princess Yuxi. He also gets the chance to study at White Crane Academy. A year later, he takes first place and qualifies to study at the capital's academy. But a drought strikes, delaying his trip to the capital by a year. Bai Xiaochuan and several of the women travel to the Black Tribe and help them escape a nightmarish life of suffering that has lasted for centuries. They find a hidden paradise and build a manor there. A year later, just as Bai Xiaochuan is about to set out for the capital, Mudan is abducted by spies from the Southern Zhu Kingdom, one of the Four Kingdoms. Bai Xiaochuan matches wits with the Four Kingdoms, rescues Mudan, unites them, and becomes their king. He marries ten women. Suddenly, a group of cultivators arrives in the human world, shattering the peace and endangering its people. The Demon King Hong Yan promises to protect the people of the Four Kingdoms and Bai Xiaochuan's wives and children, on the condition that Bai Xiaochuan go to the cultivation world and find Hong Yan's wife, Yue Niang. Bai Xiaochuan arrives in the cultivation world and starts over as a penniless independent cultivator. He works odd jobs, sets up a stall, fights in arenas, encounters bandits, adopts a foster son, ventures into secret realms, befriends fellow cultivators, meets beautiful women, and embarks on an extraordinary journey.
