Plot
Zi-Fen, the Flower Deity, died after giving birth to a daughter, Jin-Mi. She foresaw a future where her daughter would suffer a great love trial within the first ten thousand years of her life. Therefore, before dying she gave Jin-Mi a magical pill that prevents her from feeling and expressing romantic love, hoping to avoid the love trial tragedy. Jin-Mi grows up in the Flower Realm, living as a low-level immortal. Her peaceful life is interrupted when she encounters the Fire Deity, Xu-Feng, from the Heavenly Realm who had crashed into the Flower realm. After saving him, she persuades him to take her to see the Heavenly Realm, where Jin-Mi meets Xu-Feng's half-brother, the Night Deity, Run-Yu. She also meets Princess Sui-He, who is a close ally & niece of Xu-Feng's mother, the Holy Empress, and as a result, Sui-He believes she will one day marry Xu-Feng. Both Xu-Feng and Run-Yu develop a love interest in Jin-Mi. Due to the magic pill, Jin-Mi becomes unwittingly involved in a love triangle between the two brothers who become rivals for Jin-Mi affections. Jin-Mi, unknowingly, falls for Xu-Feng, through the mortal realm trial experience. Jin-Mi learns, later, of her true origin as a child of the late Flower Deity and the current Water Deity & she was also promised to the Holy Emperor's first-born son, Run-Yu when the Water Deity married the Wind Deity.
Eventually, Jin-Mi is tricked by Princess Sui-He into thinking her father & his wife, her stepmother died at the hands of Xu-Feng. She kills him on the day of her wedding to Run-Yu who has rebelled during his wedding against his father, the Holy Emperor, as Xu-Feng is defending his father against Run-Yu. As Xu-Feng is dying, Jin-Mi coughs up the magic pill as a consequence. She realizes she does love Xu-Feng & regrets what she has done. She finds out she was tricked by Princess Sui-He & Sui-He was the one who killed her father & her step-mother.
Jin-Mi feels guilty for killing her true love, Xu-Feng. She wanders around the river of souls looking for Xu-Feng & torturing herself for what she has done. She finds out Xu-Feng's soul was retrieved by his father before he died who placed it into Xu-Feng's Phoenix hairpin & given to Sui-He for safekeeping. She also knows there's an elixir which can bring back Xu-Feng to life, but the main ingredient is difficult to find. With the help of Xu-Feng's uncle, the Marriage Deity & her friend, the Green snake Deity, Jin-Mi was able to get the main ingredient, but at the cost of giving up her ability to distinguish colors & her Immortal form which she used to carry it. She gave the ingredients to the Medicine Deity to create the elixir of life. With the elixir in hand, Jin-Mi found out Xu-Feng's soul was being kept safely in the demon realm in a cave by Sui-He & a demon king who was sympathetic to Xu-Feng. She sneaks into the cave after Sui-He leaves & gives the elixir to Xu-Feng's soul. The elixir works & Xu-Feng is bought back to life. Jin-Mi filled with joy weeps & a teardrop falls on Xu-Feng's face. She quickly leaves before Xu-Feng awakens as she hears Sui-He coming back to the cave.
Xu-Feng is later reborn in the Demon Realm & soon named as the new Demon King. He unites the Demon realm & wages war against Run-Yu, who has now ascended the throne as Heavenly Emperor after his father died & with the support of other deities. He plans to make Jin-Mi Holy Empress. Sui-He, who went to Demon realm with Xu-Feng, lies about how she bought Xu-Feng back to life. Jin-Mi can't help visiting Xu-Feng in the Demon realm & visits him secretly every night. Xu-Feng is aware of her secret visits, tries to hate her for killing him & telling him as he was dying that she never loved him unaware of the magic pill given to her by her mother. To hurt Jin-Mi, Xu-Feng decides to marry Sui-He knowing Jin-Mi is nearby listening. Sui-He is elated to finally becoming Xu-Feng's wife. Xu-Feng walks over to Jin-Mi after Sui-He leaves & returns the love token (a piece of her true form) she had given him. Jin-Mi tries to tell Xu-Feng she loves him & about Sui-He's lies, but Xu-Feng doesn't want to hear about it & tells her to leave or he will kill her. Jin-Mi is completely heartbroken, destroys the love token & goes back to the Heavenly Realm. She finally agrees to marry Run-Yu, but finds out he had manipulated the truth about her father's death. She refuses to marry him, tries to escape to go back to the demon realm to stop Xu-Feng from marrying Sui-He & to tell him the truth about Sui-He & her true powers. Run-yu gets upset & imprisons her in her palace until the day of their wedding which is the same day as Xu-Feng's wedding. With the help of her friends, the Marriage Deity & the Green snake Deity, she escapes.
Xu-Feng becomes suspicious of Sui-He & her true intentions after finding evidence of her true power & deceit. He & his friend, the demon princess Liu-Ying, saw Sui-He switch out the heartstone in the great hall which can tell if a couple is meant to be by using one drop of blood from each person, for a fake stone. On the day of his wedding to Sui-He, he arranges a plan to make Sui-He show her true powers & deceit. Originally, his friend, the demon Princess Liu-Ying, was to impersonate Sui-He & Sui-He was given incense to knock her out, but, at the last minute, Jin-Mi was substituted with the help of the Marriage Deity & the Snake Deity. Using the puppet spell, Xu-Feng & Jin-Mi are married by the Marriage Deity & passes the test of the heartstone. Sui-He comes rushing into the hall stating the stone is fake & the bride is not her. The Demon princess Liu-Ying arrives to the hall, to the surprise of Xu-Feng, with the fake stone which had been switched out before the wedding for the real stone found in Sui-He's room. To Xu-Feng's surprise, his bride is Jin-Mi. Upset, Xu-Feng demands to know the truth & who bought Jin-Mi to the wedding. The Demon Princess Liu-Ying & the Marriage Deity both tell Xu-Feng to stop denying his heart's true desire. Xu-Feng learns the truth of his rebirth from his uncle & of Jin-Mi's sacrifices which Sui-He took credit for. In anger & resentment, Sui-He admits to her wrongdoings & it was done because of her love for Xu-Feng. She shows her true power given to her by the Holy Empress & tries to kill Jin-Mi. Realizing the truth, Xu-Feng stops Sui-He, removes her powers & banishes her from the demon realm. Xu-Feng admits to Jin-Mi, even though, she killed him, he couldn't bring himself to truly hate her, hated himself for it, but, in fact, he truly loves her with all his heart. They reconcile & admit their love for each other.
Final battle arrives between the Heavenly Realm & the Demon realm where Run-Yu states Jin-Mi was kidnapped & detained by the Demon King Xu-Feng, with a duel to the death taking place between Run-Yu and Xu-Feng. Jin-Mi wants to stop the loss of innocent lives & realizes she must ultimately sacrifices herself to end the war and return peace to the six realms. Jin-Mi's soul disappears in Xu-Feng's arms & Run-Yu, heartbroken about what he had done to Jin-Mi & his people, declares he will not set foot in the demon realm ever again.
In the aftermath, Xu-Feng gives up his position as Demon king to his friend, Demon Princess Liu-Ying, & tirelessly travels the six realms to search for the remains of Jin-Mi's soul which is protected by the ashes of Buddha. He believes because of her great sacrifice to bring peace to all realms, her soul is intact as a reward somewhere in the six realms. For three years, his search is unsuccessful, he settles into the first place he shared on the mortal realm with Jin-Mi. He discovers Jin-Mi was, in fact, a teardrop in his eye after he opens a box full of drawing Jin-Mi made of all their times together. Realizing Jin-Mi will one day be reincarnated, Xu-Feng resolves to wait for her.
Five hundred years later, Jin-Mi is reborn alongside her father in the Mortal Realm. On the day of her arranged wedding, Xu-Feng arrives in his phoenix form, kidnaps and reunites with Jin-Mi, who has retained her memories. They elope.
Seven years later, Demon princess, Liu-Ying works to bring a new age of prosperity to the Demon Realm. Sui-He, driven mad by her defeat, rambles around in the Demon Realm's outskirts. One day, she mistook an entrance to a cave to be the Holy Empress' throne room & where Xu-Feng is & stumbles into the same cave where she once threw the old Demon King's sons when they insulted her. This led to her being eaten alive by one of the remaining sons. He appears to have eaten his own brother.
In the Heavenly Realm, Run-Yu rules alone as Celestial Emperor realizing it's not a position to be taken lightly. He notes this to his faithful female servant, Kuang-Lu. She renews her vow to always be by his side along with his Dream beast.
In the Mortal Realm, Jin-Mi and Xu-Feng live a happy & carefree life and has a son, who knows the story of his parents and tells it proudly.
