A Chinese Ghost Story: Eternity

Since the Year of Yuan, the empire of Tang has enjoyed one hundred years of prosperity. However, calamities and dangers nearly always lurk around affluent times. The famous Taoist sect, Xuan-Xin Zhen-Zong's forefather once discovered a huge stone cave in a deep mountain range. In the cave was a stone tablet carved with ancient writings. The ancient in ions recorded all events since Tang Dynasty's foundation, such as who would be the emperors, when would disasters occur, all of which were all accurate. What struck terror into the hearts of people was the last verse on the tablet, prophesying a grim future: when the constellation of Celestial Demon Clashing with Seven Malignant Stars appears, the Estranged Couple of Seven Lifetimes will be reborn. The demon sect will make use of the power of the Estranged Couple to dominate the world, and the world will be turned into a living hell. The tablet also clearly stated the time and place where the Estranged Couple will be born, seemingly hoping that some destined person would stumble across the tablet, and come up with a plan to save the masses. The young and capable Jin Guang (Shen Xiao Hai) is the Grand Priest of Tang kingdom, and also the present leader of Xuan-Xin Zhen-Zong Sect. At the designated time, Jin Guang calls forth his elders Yan Chi Xia (Yuen Wah) and Sima San-Niang (Tien Niu) to forestall the demons. Together, they manage to locate the newborn babies of Estranged Couple of Seven Lifetimes. Demon clan Moon Kingdom, under the leadership of Mo-Jun Liu-Dao (Gallen Lo), comes to get hold of the Estranged Couple of Seven Lifetimes, as was predicted. Yan Chi Xia and his wife Sima San-Niang, using all their might, fight against Moon Kingdom. Both sides suffer severe casualties. While Mo-Jun Liu-Dao is badly wounded, he succeeds in taking away the baby girl. To prevent further complications, Jin-Guang wants to terminate the life of the baby boy, but Yan Chi-Xia and Sima San-Niang cannot simply stand by idly doing nothing while an innocent baby is killed. While already injured, they turn the table against Jin-Guang and battle against Xuan-Xin Zhen-Zong's disciples, affording time for the mother to bring the baby boy away. After this major battle of good versus evil, Yan Chi Xia and Sima San-Niang disappear from the pugilistic circle. Mo-Jun Liu-Dao is rumoured to have died after being critically hurt by Yan Chi-Xia, and the world enjoys a longer period of peace, for the time being... Eighteen years later, there lives an impoverished, honest scholar in the bustling city, who makes a living by selling paintings. However, all that he sells are imitations. This scholar is none other than Ning Cai Cheng. Though kind at heart, he puts aside his conscience, replicates the paintings of famous painters flawlessly, and puts them up for sale as the genuine ones, in order to pay for his mother's the medical treatment. One night, Ning Cai Cheng passes by Ruolan Temple and decides to spend the night there. Unexpectedly, he meets the baby girl who was snatched away by Mo-Jun Liu-Dao. Liu-Dao died eighteen years ago after being gravely injured by Yan Chi Xia, leaving behind his wife Empress Yin-Yue (Zhu Yan) and son Mo Jun Qi-Ye (Nie Yuan). Fearing that the orthodox sects may locate Nie Xiao-Qian, Empress Yin-Yue extracted Nie Xiao-Qian's soul and seal it within the body of a fox spirit with her witchcraft. And now, Nie Xiao Qian (Xu Xi Yuan) has grown into a lovely little fox spirit and finally sees the most important man of her life, Ning Cai Cheng - the baby boy who escaped death. Nie Xiao-Qian has been living in the remote Moon Kingdom, however, existed within her heart is a longing to find true love of the mortals. Once, she attempted to sneak away but was discovered by Mo-Jun Qi-Ye. The young Qi-Ye is actually carrying a torch for Xiao-Qian, and commiserating with her, he agrees to let Xiao-Qian enter the mortal world, but only when she agrees to a pact. She only has one month's limit to find her true love, and should he still love her even when she reveals her true form as a fox, she is granted freedom to enter or leave the demon realm. Mo-Jun Qi-Ye also gives her Teardrop of Blue Demon, which would glow when someone with genuine feelings for loves her expresses his love for her. Otherwise, she would have to remain forever in Moon Kingdom. If she breaks her vow, she would be vaporised into thin air. Being ignorant and inexperienced, Xiao Qian fell into the hands of spider demon Mei Ji (Mai Jia Qi). As Nie Xiao Qian hides her identity, Mei Ji does not know her relation with Mo-Jun Qi-Ye. Under the pretext of helping Nie Xiao-Qian finds true love, she uses her to lure men into her lair to help practice her demonic skills. Nie Xiao-Qian is unaware of Mei Ji's nefarious plan and as the time limit approaches, Nie Xiao Qian, seeing that Ning Cai-Cheng is the only guy in front of her, intends to use all means to make him fall for her. However, Ning Cai-Cheng remains unmoved, and even discovers that she is a demon and scampers madly away. Nie Xiao Qian is agitated and anxious, vowing that she would kill him. Zhuge Liu-Yun (Wu Jing), Yan Chi-Xia's disciple comes to his rescue. Yet, when Zhuge Liu-Yun and Ning Cai-Cheng come to know that Nie Xiao-Qian is but a fox spirit looking for genuine love, they decide to help her fulfill her wish. Nie Xiao Qian jumps over the moon, and starts to have better impressions of Ning Cai Cheng. Sima Hong-Ye (Jessica Hsuan), daughter of Yan Chi-Xia and Sima San-Niang, unhappy over her parents' separation, runs away from home and goes about subduing demons. At that time, on learning of Ruolan Temple being taken over by a tree demon and fox spirit, she travels there and runs into Nie Xiao-Qian. Thinking that she has been harming the people, she wants to destroy her. Zhuge Liu-Yun intervenes, and after coming to blows, the two realize they are from the same sect. Zhuge Liu-Yun is Sima Hong-Ye's senior, however, they have never met. Zhuge Liu-Yun is an orphan whom Yan Chi Xia adopted as a disciple when he was five years old and sent to study with the sect's Elder. While Zhuge Liuyun is incompetent in occult skills, he insists on labeling himself as Sima Hongye's senior. Sima Hong-Ye, having witnessed his mediocre skills, refuses to acknowledge him as her senior, and seeking freedom of love, she spurns his love and turns down the arranged marriage, which hurts Zhuge Liu-Yun. Both are not willing to budge an inch, thus setting the fur flying whenever they meet. However, little did Hong Ye know that the silly lad is actually the man of her destiny. As it turns out, Xuan-Xin Zhen-Zong's forefather, as a counter measure to the demon realm gaining Estranged Couple of Seven Lifetimes, decided to look for Lovers of Seven Lifetimes to resist against them. As long as Zhuge Liu Yun and Sima Hong-Ye are devoted to each other, their undying love, coupled with priceless swords Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, would be puissant enough to eliminate the demon realm. However, they have become an odd couple instead. A battle between Yan, Lui Yun and Qu Ye and the forces of Yan Chi-Xia have win but Yan was badly hurt by Qi Ye. But Xiao Qian wants to see Qu Ye and when Cai Cheng uses the arrow he closed his eyes and it shot at Xiao Qian and Qi Ye and there Qi Ye died, Master Yan was badly hurt when he see Liu Yun, Cai Cheng together with Xiao Qian and Xiao Qian died in Cai Cheng's arms. Until 20 years have passed, Liu Yun have walk to go to visit his master Yan, and there he sees Ning Cai Cheng. There they go to the market to see Xiao Qian and Hong Ye after 20 years they use amulets to freeze all the people in the market for the first time they see two girls but it is not them they find they lose hope but when they see the painting of Xiao Qian and Hong Ye and the two girls walk and they see Ning Cai Cheng and Liu Yun and the smile at them.
