Zhuang Zhou, a widower, is married to a woman from the prestigious Tian family who admires his talent. However, Zhuangzi is full of doubts. After attaining enlightenment, he gains many followers and begins teaching, which leads him to neglect his wife, Tian Shi, who has waited for him for ten years. A prince from the state of Chu, drawn by Zhuangzi's fame, arrives as a persuader. Zhuangzi refuses him but takes him on as a disciple, and hatches a plan to test his wife's loyalty.
When Zhuangzi ascends to immortality, Tian Shi is plunged into despair. In the Snake Temple, she curses the gods in her grief. At the funeral hall, an unexpected visitor arrives—the Chu prince returns, rekindling the cold heart of Tian Shi.
On a stormy night, the prince's illness relapses, and his life hangs in the balance. Desperate to save her beloved, Tian Shi takes up a sharp axe, intending to open Zhuangzi's coffin to retrieve his head as a cure... In that fleeting moment... from deep within the earth, a swarm of white butterflies emerges from their cocoons, flying towards freedom.
