In a world where destinies are intertwined and inexplicable, a spiritual master named Kongkong asserted that one woman, Qi Chun Jiao, was the key to both commencing and concluding an enigmatic saga. He urged her to follow her heart before he himself finally succumbed to mortality.
At last, Duan Yu and his accomplice reached the hallowed divine palace. The road, however, was barricaded by an obstinate priest. Although Shao Yi firmly held his belief that the priest, Lu Zi Zhen, was the remaining blemish of the Holy Blood Gate, the priest maintained his singular perspective. He believed that the trials would let him shed his worldly identity. He also asserted his autonomy by deciding not to hand over Gu Qing Qiao. As the priest engaged in a power struggle with Duan Yu and his team, others restrained him, enabling Duan Yu to hasten his pursuit of Gu Qing Qiao.
However, caught in a quagmire, Duan Yu's power was crippled. His Qilin Bow had been tampered with, making him powerless against Lu Zi Zhen. Gu Qing Qiao, wounded by one of his own arrows, led to the opening of the Time Tunnel when all four spirits gathered. Trying to escort her home, Duan Yu was ambushed by Lu Zi Zhen.
Lu Zi Zhen, convinced of the divine directive, planned to see his clan, the Holy Blood Gate, reign supreme and unchallenged in the world. In a world pushed into a whirlwind of change, Gu Qing Qiao woke up to a world where the once powerful Changqing Duan family had disappeared. The business communities and officialdom were now dominated by the Holy Blood Gate. Fading acquaintances and strange faces greeted her, pushing her into a world devoid of familiarity and warmth.
Yet, the love of her life, Duan Yu, appeared again, only to reveal a disheartening truth. This was no prince charming of hers, but a scholar named Song Yu, living a serene life with his loving parents.
As the narrative continues, the characters are seen immersed in an array of human emotions and tangled relationships. Gu Qing Qiao's mission is complicated by the belief that she is a 21st-century woman trapped in an ancient era, hoping to assemble the four spirits and return home. At the same time, Lu Zi Zhen draws sinister plans to further his organization's hidden agenda, using a book about the Holy Blood Gate's gruesome actions, murder, and mystical blood rituals. Intrigue, bassinations, and manipulation weave a compelling narrative.
Midst the chaos, the pure love story of Song Yu and Gu Qing Qiao blooms. Song Yu, in his earnest love, caters to Gu Qing Qiao's every need, oblivious to his mother's concerns about her mysterious origin and varied rumors. In the face of mounting challenges and cultural constraints, they proclaim their bond, pledging a lifetime together.
But love comes with a price. Hurtful words and societal prejudice target their tender bond. Gu Qing Qiao, tangled in the harsh threads of reality and her impending mission, chooses to free Song Yu from her complicated life, setting him off to face a world that was in harmony with his simplistic needs and desires.
