Synopsis
Zi Xuan, a disciple of the Green Emperor skilled in medicine and cultivating to become a deity, keeps a young white snake as a pet, nicknaming her Xiao Bai. Over time, Xiao Bai cultivates into a teenage human girl and develops a strong romance with Zi Xuan. While seeking a herb to save Zi Xuan after an injury, she accidentally breaks a heavenly seal in Mount Jiuxi's elixir chamber, releasing the black water dragon from a thousand-year imprisonment. To save the world, Zi Xuan sacrifices himself, disintegrating after giving Xiao Bai the name Bai Yaoyao. Devastated, she retreats for a thousand years. They meet again when Zi Xuan is reborn as Xu Xian, chief of the Yao Shi Palace, who remembers nothing of their past, while Bai Yaoyao remembers everything and tries to ensure his peaceful life.
