But Nie Xiao Qian didn’t figure on meeting a man like the bumbling, but pure-hearted apprentice scholar Ning Cai Chen (Chen Xing Xu). This man is forced to spend the night at an abandoned temple on his way to take an important exam.

At first, she plans to seduce him and offer his soul up to the spirit, but is eventually taken in by his quirky charms.

Eventually, Ning Cai Chen learns who she really is – and discovers that the spirit is planning to marry her off to an evil demon. He starts to fall in love with her, and resolves to save her from this terrible fate!
