Synopsis

Mo Yuan, the God of War of the Heavenly Clan, seals the ghostly ruler, Qing Cang, in the Wuwang Sea. His soul is scattered and his immortal body is frozen in the Qinqiu Yanhua Cave.

Bai Qian, the Qingqiu empress, has an engagement with Heavenly Clan's crown prince, Ye Hua, but they have never met.

It is not until the banquet at the East Sea that Ye Hua discovers that Bai Qian looks just like his late wife Su Su, and he decides to live in Bai Qian's Qingqiu, in order to solve the mystery of Bai Qian and Su Su.

However, his concubine Su Jin becomes jealous and secretly helps the Queen of the Ghost Tribe, Xuan Nu steal Mo Yuan's immortal body.

Bai Qian gets angry and fights in a bloody battle against the Ghost Clan in Daziming Palace, and is seriously injured. She is finally saved by Ye Hua.

Bai Qian follows YeHua to the Heavenly Clan and recovers her memory through the Heavenly Clan's magic lantern. When she gains the memory of Ye Hua hurting her, she can't forgive him.

Su Jin, who framed Bai Qian, was punished and sent to the Wuwang Sea. She becomes crazy that she uses the blood of A Li, the son of Ye Hua, to free the ghost ruler Qing Cang, who was sealed by Mo Yuan.

In order to protect the world, Ye Hua sacrificed his spirit to the Donghuang Bell and sealed Qing Cang again.
