The blue stone god was then banished to the mortal world. The Border Patrol God could not bear to be apart and agreed to accompany her to be banished into the mortal world as well. They were to live 100 hundred lives before they could return back into the Heavenly Realm together. They spent 99 life times together.
On their 100th life time, the Border Patrol God remembered how he used to chant scriptures by the Heavenly River. So he went to Kunlun looking for the blue stone god to fulfill his promise. But at this time, there was an unprecedented disaster approaching, threatening the peace of the three realms.
According to legend, only the banished god with the power of the blue stone can overcome this calamity. Hence all sects in the world were looking high and low for the banished god with the magical stone.

In this long awaited drama, Xiao Zhan plays as Shi Ying, the crown prince of the state of Kong Sang, who was banished to Jiu Yi mountain. He vowed not to return to the mortal world, would not claim the throne and would not marry.
Ren Min plays as Zhu Yan, princess of the Chi Yi Tribe. In an explicable twist of fate, the two became master and disciple. Their relationship over time grew into romantic feelings for each other. However, their master and disciple relationship made this feeling taboo and prevented them from expressing their true feelings.
As destiny would have it, grim fate looms over Kong Sang state. It was prophesied that Zhu Yan was a bringer of bad luck and would bring misfortune to Kong Sang and demise to Shi Ying. Shi Ying thus ended their master-disciple relationship and asked her to leave.
Later on, further misunderstandings and complications drove them further apart and turned their once affectionate feelings cold.
As political struggles in Kong Sang became too heated and threatened the well being of the people, Shi Ying and Zhu Yan decided to put their past grievances aside and work together to protect their beloved Kong Sang.
