Village girl Qingyue rescues an injured white snake guarding Baiyun Mountain that fell into a trap, and obtains a golden lotus that can grant three wishes every day. She only wants to make her grandma and fellow villagers well-fed, but exposes the treasure by helping the villagers, attracting her eldest uncle, gambling den bullies, and dishonest merchant Shen Wancang to fight for it. The golden lotus changes hands several times, and the greedy ones are finally punished. With the help of the white snake, Qingyue channels spiritual springs and plants golden grain, freeing the villagers from their reliance on the golden lotus and making them understand that true wealth is the land, water sources, and a kind original heart.
