The story follows the Chinese fable the Legend of the White Snake. The protagonist is a young adult white snake-demon Bai Su Zhen who loses her memories while being disguised as a lovely human woman and falls in love with a snake hunter. This strongly displeases her young sister, Xiao Qing, the green snake-demon. The story begins with two sisters in a traditional Chinese bath, where they both speak of immortality. It then shows that same mysterious woman (named Bai Su Zhen) who is on a mission to assassinate a Tang general. However, she is caught and is involved in a battle which results in her submerging into water and losing her memories. She is rescued by a man, Xu Xian, who takes her to his home, Snake Catcher village, where the villagers catch snakes for the general, as snakes were thought to aid in immortality. Reluctant at first, Bai Su Zhen is skeptical about Xu Xuan. However, after spending some time with him (and with the reveal that she has magic powers) she starts to fall for him. They find a jade hair pin which brings back some memories when it is then revealed, that the hairpin too is magical. Xu Xuan reads the inscription, which indicates it was made at "special jade workshop". He and Bai Su Zhen go journey there together. (Source: Wikipedia) Edit Translation
