Eternity: A Chinese Ghost Story

In the empire of Tang, a Taoist sect called Xuan-Xin Zhen-Zong discovered an ancient stone tablet in a mountain cave. The tablet contained prophecies about the Estranged Couple of Seven Lifetimes, with the demon sect Moon Kingdom seeking to exploit their power. Jin Guang, the Grand Priest of Tang, and his elders Yan Chi Xia and Sima San-Niang protected the newborn babies of the couple, but Moon Kingdom managed to seize the baby girl. Yan Chi Xia and Sima San-Niang fought back, allowing the mother to escape with the baby boy.

Eighteen years later, scholar Ning Cai Cheng sold imitation paintings to support his mother's medical treatment. At Ruolan Temple, he encountered Nie Xiao-Qian, the baby girl who had been taken by Moon Kingdom. Nie Xiao-Qian, transformed into a fox spirit, sought true love among mortals. She encountered Mei Ji, a spider demon, who used her for demonic purposes. Nie Xiao-Qian attempted to make Ning Cai Cheng fall in love with her, but he discovered her true identity and fled.

Zhuge Liu-Yun, a disciple of Yan Chi Xia, rescued Ning Cai Cheng and learned of Nie Xiao-Qian's quest for genuine love. Sima Hong-Ye, daughter of Yan Chi Xia and Sima San-Niang, encountered Nie Xiao-Qian and initially wanted to destroy her. However, they discovered they belonged to the same sect. Zhuge Liu-Yun and Sima Hong-Ye had conflicting feelings for each other but held the key to resisting the demon realm.

A battle ensued, resulting in Yan Chi Xia's injury and the death of Qi Ye. Xiao Qian died in Ning Cai Cheng's arms. Twenty years later, Liu Yun encountered Ning Cai Cheng at a market. There he saw two girls who resembled Xiao Qian and Hong Ye. Upon closer examination he discovered it was not them. Still, when the two girls found a painting of Xiao Qian and Hong Ye it brought great joy to Ning Cai Cheng and Liu Yun.
