Manzhu, a lycoris demon, and Shahua, a foliage demon, fell in love in violation of heavenly laws, and were cursed by the judge to endure life after life of reincarnation and separation. After eight lifetimes, Manzhu died for love every single time. In the ninth lifetime, Shahua is reincarnated as the scholar Xu Zhujun, and Manzhu breaks through reincarnation to seek him out. To break the curse, they punish nine scumbags across the three realms, using the nine drops of remorseful blood from the scumbags to water the lycoris flowers, breaking the millennial curse. The flowers and leaves bloom together, and the two usher in a consummation of life after life never to be separated.
