Plot

[edit]

This is the series about a Designer named Qin Fang who accidentally fell into a cliff during his journey to find roots and wake up the plant-alien descendant Si Teng who has been sleeping for decades.[6][7]

Many years ago, the plant-alien hybrid Si Teng (played by Jing Tian) was hunted down by a Xuanmen hunter. Chased across Shanghai, Si Teng fled for her life but escaping the relentless hunter proved impossible. In an act of cruel piety, the hunter killed Si Teng and buried her remains at the base of a great cliff. There she would have remained for all eternity, had fate not chosen to intervene. Resurrected by the unwitting actions of a young architect named Qin Fang (played by Zhang Binbin), Si Teng finds herself in a strange new world.

Confused by the fragmented memories in her head, Si Teng insists Qin Fang help her regain her memories, while at the same time helping her understand life in this modern age. Despite their rocky start, Qin Fang eventually agrees to Si Teng's demands. With Qin Fang by her side, Si Teng learns what it means to live and love but the fragmented memories of her past continue to torment her. Determined to understand the mysteries of her past, they continue to search for answers, their quest drawing them ever closer. How long will their happiness last when the demon of the past refuses to die?
