The Five Gods are divided, and love blooms between Water and Fire. A conspiracy in the Celestial Realm uses the gods' blood and tears to compose a tragic love song. Their radiant lives unfold like a dream, blooming in a fleeting world, then fading into the clouds. Even if heaven and earth cease to exist, on Mount Nanzhao, a love lies dormant and a heart remains steadfast, whispering tenderly: "In this life, I will wait for you alone. I ask nothing of the next life, nor of the Buddha.
The main story follows the passionate, tragic romance between Zhushui Fusheng, the Water God of the Celestial Realm, and Liuhuo Yunji, the Fire God. It also tells of the Demon Lord and the Vermilion Bird, bound together in life and death; the Demon God's undying obsession with Chiyan, the Fire God; the Flower God's devoted protection of her young disciple, Fulingxiang; and the tangled love and hatred between the Dragon God, a descendant of the Celestial Maiden, and the Six-Horned Azure Dragon.
For love, and for the mortal world; for passion, and for the greater good.
"You protect all living things. I protect you." These are the Water God's undying words of love to the Fire God, a confession as simple and sincere as they come.
Love means giving to one another, and helping each other become whole.
