Ziyou was engaged to Peony, the daughter of Jin Chong, the prime minister of the dynasty. This day happens to be the birthday of the Prime Minister. Ziyou originally intended to go directly to the Prime Minister's office to recognize relatives, but was turned away by the head of the Kim family at the door as a beggar. Ziyou had no choice but to go to Xianhe Temple to ask Tsuyoshi Domoto for help and stay in the temple for the time being.
Peony, the daughter of the prime minister, plays the piano by the lotus pond, with her cousin Xiaoman beside her. There are golden carp and silver carp raised by peony since childhood in the lotus pond. At the same time, a small and medium-sized golden carp in the lotus pond, Xiaolian, has finally become exquisite after 500 years of cultivation. Lian's mother Chunhua is a carp who has been practicing for 3,000 years. Her greatest wish is that Lian can fly to the celestial world with her one day, but the lively and naughty Lian just wants to live a happy life. She was attracted by the lively scene of the Prime Minister's Mansion and wanted to leave the dreary underwater world. When Xiaolian saw that there were many jewels and handmaiden servants in the peony room, she couldn't help admiring the life of peony.
Ziyou came to Xiangfu and showed his identity to Jin Chong. Unexpectedly, Jin Chong was too poor to love rich people. Seeing that Ziyou's parents are dead and his wealth is declining, he is still dressed in white. He not only intends to break off his marriage, but also wants to marry his daughter to Kevin Cheng, son of the general. The warm and kind little lotus turned into a butterfly and led Ziyou to meet the peony in the back garden. Two young people fell in love at first sight. At this time, Peony also learned that her father was going to break off his marriage. She didn't want to betray her faith, so she secretly went to encourage him to marry herself and become the No.1. Xiaolian looked at a pair of lovers who had pledged their eternal love and was deeply moved. Since then, Ziyou and Peony have often dated under Xiaoman's arrangement. Occasionally encounter danger, but also get Xiaolian's secret method to help tide over the difficulties. Unexpectedly, it was discovered by Kevin Cheng. Yun Fei always wanted to consolidate his power in the imperial court through the marriage of two families. So, on the one hand, he quietly stabilized Peony and Ziyou, expressing his willingness to fulfill them for the happiness of Peony. On the other hand, he conspired with Jin Chong to frame Ziyou and alienate their feelings. Jin Chong beat Ziyou up on the pretext that Ziyou was immoral. During the period of house arrest, Peony was worried, depressed and sick, and a pair of lovers were separated alive.
Xiaolian is angry and anxious about Ziyou and Peony. On impulse, she attached herself to Peony and took her to see Ziyou. Peony suddenly appeared in front of Ziyou and offered to elope with him. Ziyou was shocked and thought that eloping was against the etiquette and humiliated his reputation. Xiaolian was so pedantic that she beat the child half to death, and then simply knocked him unconscious, making him think that she had a dream. Xiaolian attached herself to Peony and took her back to Xiangfu. By this time, Xiangfu had found that Peony was gone, and Jin Chong was even more angry because he suspected that Peony had run away from home.
Ziyou played the flute in the mountain temple to relieve boredom. Xiaolian appeared in front of Ziyou in the form of peony, saying that she decided to be Ziyou's wife, so she married him and then had a wedding. Ziyou was surprised and cried. Lillian put away her naughty nature and told Ziyou that it was actually a dream. She is the other side of the peony, and she came to tell Ziyou that she was seriously ill and dying at home, and she was going to marry Kevin Cheng soon. She really wants to see him. Ziyou woke up and decided to go to Xiangfu to find out. Ziyou pretended to be a bodyguard and wanted to sneak into Xiangfu. Xiaolian used magic to make Ziyou blend into the auspicious symbol smoothly. Peony was surprised and happy to see Ziyou, as if in a dream. Doben was just moved by their true feelings. Decided to help them elope. Unexpectedly, Yun Fei found out that Jin Chong wanted to kill his son.
Xiaolian sneaked into Kaifeng prison and appeared in front of Ziyou as a peony in her dream, telling Ziyou to grab the bride anyway. The fairy took him and Peony away. Ziyou woke up and doubted the truth, but when he saw that the cell door was wide open, Ziyou thought that there was a fairy to help him and escaped from the prison smoothly.
The next day, with Xiaoman's help, the fragile peony got into the sedan chair, and Ziyou and Tsuyoshi Domoto came to grab the sedan chair. The two sides fought, and Ziyou finally snatched the sedan chair with the help of Chunhua and Nelly. Ziyou took the sedan chair to a safe place, opened the door and saw Xiaoman holding the unconscious peony, with tears on her face. The peony has disappeared in the sedan chair.
Xiaolian never imagined that Ziyou and Peony would end up like this, and she couldn't bear it. Despite the obstruction of Chunhua, he resolutely flew into the peony. Peony woke up in Ziyou's arms and turned around. Ziyou was surprised. At this time, Yun Fei troops arrived, and Xiaolian cast a spell to take Ziyou to the mountains thousands of miles away.
Xiaolian is afraid that Ziyou can't face the fact that Peony is dead. After casting a spell to preserve the peony's body, she decided to become a peony to comfort and take care of him. Ziyou woke up and found himself in the mountains with "Peony". Xiaolian lied to him that it was peony and that the fairy saved them. From then on, a carp essence and a loyal scholar talked about love decently. Xiaolian often uses some small spells to amuse Zi You. Under the influence of her cheerful and open-minded personality, Zi You also let go of her mind, did many things that she would not have done before, and at the same time loved this lively and naughty "peony" more deeply. Xiaolian has a long-standing feeling for Ziyou, and she is more and more reluctant to leave him.
Wake up in the morning after a day's swimming. I looked everywhere, because I didn't see the peony, and I went into Shan Yao Cave. At the critical moment, Xiaolian arrived and rescued Ziyou who had fainted. Later, the fairy was called to be rescued again. Xiaolian declared that she was the real "peony", and Ziyou was relieved. After this disaster, Ziyou and "Peony" have deeper feelings. Ziyou proposed to "Peony", and they got married under the witness of the flower god, and lived a carefree immortal life in the mountains.
However, Xiaolian's lifelong affair with Ziyou was finally learned by her mother Chunhua, who threatened to return to Dongting Lake to cultivate immortality with Ziyou's life. Xiaolian is very helpless. Because she couldn't bear the sadness of Ziyou, she made a scene in hell, trying to bring back the peony soul and let it marry Ziyou, but she still failed. The next day, Ziyou woke up and saw the peony body, which was so big.
The pearl of mussels has an appointment with Xiaolian. When Chunhua in the Five-Star Alliance uses Ju Yuan pearls to become immortals, Xiaolian will give up Ju Yuan pearls and give them to pearls. Seeing that Xiaolian was taken away by the spring flowers, her immortality was destroyed, and the pearl was unwilling, so she became a flower god, saying that the peony soul was taken away by the Dongting Lake dragon. Under its guidance, Ziyou got the holy water of Guanyin and came to the bottom of Dongting Lake to save "Peony". At this time, Xiaolian at the bottom of Dongting Lake has been thinking about Ziyou. Seeing Ziyou coming to fight with her mother, she finally chose to go back to the mountains with Ziyou.
Yun Fei worshiped Zhang Tianshi as his teacher and used magic to drive away evil spirits and kill Ziyou's soul. In order to save his sweetheart, Nelly showed her true colors when she lost the battle in Yun Fei. Ziyou was so scared that he fled and fainted. Lotus woke up because she couldn't bear to damage Ziyou's longevity and didn't delete this memory from her mind. It's just that the liar lobbied that it was a nightmare in his illness, but Ziyou was still dubious. Ziyou recalled the changes of Peony and Shan Yao's words, and doubted Nellian's identity. Finally, she discovered Nellian's identity under the dark observation.
Ziyou can't accept the present facts, let alone listen to Lillian's explanation. She misunderstood that Lillian killed the peony and hurt herself. She hated that she had married a "devil". Ziyou heard that Xiaolian played peony's old piano music, and he couldn't help thinking of the good times when he played peony piano and lyre. Ziyou was very confused and decided to go to Beijing and surrender to Xiangfu. Xiaolian could not bear to stop him from committing suicide. At this time, Ziyou unconsciously began to miss the happy time with Xiaolian in the mountains. In order to make a decision with Xiaolian, Ziyou jumped off a cliff and committed suicide. Xiaolian jumped in despair and saved Zi You's life. Unfortunately, I met a party who came to see Yuan. Xiaolian was injured and fled. Ziyou became a captive of Zhang Tianshi.
The bewitched took Ziyou as bait, caught Nellie and decided to use her to force Chunhua to hand over Zhu. Ziyou felt guilty about betraying Nellie, but hesitated to let Nellie go for fear of becoming a freak. In the middle of the night, peony dreams, reminding Ziyou that Xiaolian is his favorite. Ziyou woke up and saw the word "peony" on his palm. He finally understood his true love and decided to rescue Xiaolian.
With the help of Ziyou, Xiaolian escaped smoothly and returned to Dongting Lake to inform her mother Chunhua that Chunhua wanted to take Xiaolian with her, but Xiaolian was worried about Ziyou and would rather be a mortal. Chunhua seeks the help of the fairy in Dongting Lake to realize Xiaolian's wish. It is reported that if Xiaolian wants to become a mortal, she must swallow Zhu Yuan when the five stars are connected. Chunhua decided to give up becoming an immortal and sacrifice her 3,000-year career as a catalyst to complete Xiaolian, but Xiaolian could not bear to hurt her mother and refused to become an adult. Five-star alignment is imminent, and Zhang Tianshi has reached this time. With the help of the fairy in Dongting Lake, Chunhua finally fulfilled Xiaolian's wish to become a mortal. In order to protect her daughter's safety, Chunhua finally died by Zhang Tianshi's sword.
Although Xiaolian has become a mortal, she has to pay a price: to get Ziyou's love again, to marry him again and to protect the pearls in her body, both of which are indispensable, otherwise it will be gone. A Niu, the kind mother and son of Li Jiacun, took in Xiaolian who fainted at the entrance to the village. At this point, Xiaolian has lost her memory. Kevin Cheng cheated Zhang Tianshi's trust and learned profound magic-invisibility and camouflage. Tsuyoshi Domoto and Xiaoman advised Zhang Tianshi to beware of Yun Fei's evil intentions, but Shi Tian ignored them.
Ziyou lost Xiaoliansheng and love, so he surrendered himself to Xiangfu. Jin Chongming did say that the emperor would behead Ziyou. Zhang Tianshi wants to trace Yuan's whereabouts through Ziyou. I also wanted Zhu to live forever, so I took the opportunity to save Ziyou. Zhang Tianshi firmly believes that Xiaolian will definitely come to Ziyou, so he has been paying attention to Ziyou.
The fairy in Dongting Lake had a dream for Ziyou and told Xiaolian that she had not become an immortal, but had grown up. He must find Nellie in Qingshui Town, Li Jiacun, thousands of miles away in three days, or Nellie will die. Finally, the fairy gave him a golden flute and told him that the power of love would help him overcome all difficulties. Ziyou woke up and found herself leaving Xianhe Temple with a golden flute in her hand, so she embarked on a difficult road to find a wife. But it's hard to walk a thousand miles in three days. Thousands of miles away in Li Jiacun, A Niu and her son have been taking care of Nelly who has lost her memory for half a year. A Niu takes good care of Xiaolian. However, due to amnesia, Xiaolian was uneasy about her marriage with A Niu. In the hot sun, Ziyou was thirsty and faltered, and finally fainted in the Woods. The next day, passers-by woke Ziyou up. He asked the direction of Li Jiacun and decided to cut across the mountain. Unexpectedly, he climbed over the top of the mountain and came to the edge of the cliff. With true love for Nellie, Ziyou jumped without hesitation and woke up to find himself in Li Jiacun at last. After many inquiries, Ziyou finally stopped the wedding of Xiaolian and A Niu in time.
A Niu wants to drive Ziyou out of Li Jiacun, and Xiaolian admits that Ziyou is her only memory, although she has amnesia. In the face of people who love each other but don't know each other, Ziyou has nothing to ask heaven, and playing tricks on people is not good luck. He told Lotus and A Niu his story with Lotus. Xiaolian feels incredible about this. A Niu didn't believe Ziyou's words, so she took Xiaolian home. But she didn't want to disappoint the reborn A Niu and her son, and decided to marry A Niu. Ziyou persuaded Nellie, and A Niu had a quarrel with him. Nelly's abdominal pain has broken out again. Fortunately, Ziyou blew the golden flute and relieved the pain. In the flute, Xiaolian recalled her past love affair with Ziyou. A couple finally met. Zhang Tianshi learned from the mountain god that Xiaolian swallowed pearls and became a human being, and decided to go to Li Jiacun to get them back. Zhang Tianshi came to take Zhu Yuan from Nellie's abdomen, but he didn't want to be stopped by Tsuyoshi Domoto and Xiaoman. So that Kevin Cheng can take the lead.
At the same time, the pearl of mussels is also determined to win the pearl of yuan. Yun Fei and Mingzhu jointly killed A Niu's mother and son, and pretended to be A Niu who stole Lillian's pearl. Zhang Tianshi was also poisoned by Yun Fei. Xiaolian's life is dying. If she can't get the orb back in three days, she will worry about her life. Unexpectedly, after Yun Fei got the pearl, he not only greatly increased his mana, but also cheated the ordinary mind of the pearl to learn the method of sucking blood and eating souls, and then sucked the soul of the pearl to become a magic way. Shi Tian fell into Yun Fei's trick by mistake, and Shen Yuan was seriously injured and died. With Xiaoman's encouragement and the help of free flute, Tsuyoshi Domoto finally broke through himself, repelled Yun Fei and regained the Ju Yuan Pearl. Ziyou and Xiaolian went through a lot of hardships and finally got married. They decided to live in seclusion in the mountains. Who knows, Yun Fei followed, swearing to catch Zhu Yuan. Ziyou and Xiaolian were seriously injured, and Yuan was taken away again. Ziyou and Xiaolian smiled and hugged each other and died. The death of two friends deeply shocked Tsuyoshi Domoto, and Zhang Tianshi encouraged him to bravely undertake the task of exorcism. He finally got up the courage to wipe out Yun Fei completely.
Since then, Doboto has traveled around the world with Xiaoman to defend the exorcism. Time flies. Three years later, they came to the grave where Ziyou and Xiaolian were buried together, and vaguely heard Ziyou's familiar flute. They followed the sound, and in the green mountains and green waters, Xiaolian danced under the flute of Ziyou.
