Plot edit
Eighteen years ago, the last battle in an era of witchcraft and sorcery took place. The Emperor leads his army to invade the Hanhai tribe in the desert in an attempt to pave a road for his conquest of the southern territories. To prevent the invaders from gaining ground, Yeyue, Hanhai's head priestess, has no choice but to use the power of the Dark Chalice to summon forth the spirits of the dead soldiers of Hanhai to defend their homeland. Yeyue succeeds in her plan but loses control of the Dark Chalice. The Emperor breaks into the shrine where the Dark Chalice is held and experiences a vision of his younger brother, Chongguang, rebelling against him and seizing control of his empire. Yeyue, on the other hand, sees that Emperor's wife will give birth to a baby girl. The Emperor's wife orders her close aide Yang An to bring the infant princess Leng Yun to Snow City to escape from Chongguang's pursuit. Leng Yun grows up to find that she has magical healing powers thanks to the gift of calling upon butterfly-pixies.
