Qin Yang Ming (Peng Yu Si) is the leader of a mortal kingdom that finds itself in mortal peril. Evil deities and fearsome monsters threaten to destroy the peace of the realm. The spiritual world is threatening to break loose into the realm of the mortals – and lay waste to the kingdom once and for all, after thousands of years of bitter conflict.

But Qin Yang Ming is unaware that 800 years later, he will be reborn as Ning Cai Chen, a timid scholar who resisted the advances of a female spirit named Nie Xiao Qian (Nan Sheng). Ning Cai Chen later found love with Nie Xiao Qian. But as Qin Yang Ming, he has no knowledge of who Nie Xiao Qian is. Regardless, seeing that the previous incarnation of her true love is in peril, love drives Nie Xiao Qian to travel back in time to try to help him. But when she meets the past version of the man she loves, will she feel the same way? Can he fall for her in this lifetime, too? And can they hope to keep the forces of evil away together?

This movie was based on characters from a short story in a 17th Century Chinese compilation named “Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio” by Pu Song Ling.

A Fairy Tale 2

A firm believer in an equal balance between good and evil, Ning Cai Chen (Peng Yu Si) has long believed that humans and demons can live in peace. Convinced that, much like humans, there are just as many good demons as there are evil, Cai Chen sees no reason why spirits and humans can’t co-exist in perfect harmony. However, his beliefs are far from popular, especially as rumors of dark forces stirring in the world begin to spread.&nbsp;

Sealed deep within a nearby mountain, one of the spirit realm’s most vile leaders has long slumbered, some believe the time to summon him has finally come. To keep the world from being overwhelmed by the great wave of darkness that would inevitably sweep over the world, should this vile force be awakened, Cai Chen takes it upon himself to journey to the lands bordering the human and spirit realms. Joining him is Nie Xiao Qian (Nan Sheng), a fox demon Cai Chen happened to save from the clutches of a demon hunter.

With the odds stacked against them, Cai Chen and Xiao Qian journey deeper into the heart of darkness. But will their efforts be enough to stem the great tide of evil that threatens to destroy humanity once and for all?

Adapted from the short story “The Magic Sword” from the novel “Strange Tales of Liao Zhai” by Pu Song Ling, “A Fairy Tale” is a 2020 Chinese fantasy romance film directed by Wang Cong.

Amor de cuento

The souls and spirits of those waiting for rebirth must be ferried across the Luochuan River by the oracle, Xun Ya (Ma Jia Ming). Once a great god in the heavens, Xun Ya exiled himself to the banks of the Luochuan River and for thousands of years, he has acted as the guardian of the great river which separates the Five Realms. Now a ferriman of souls, Xun Ya is bound to the water and those who seek his help; which is why, when the Green Snake (Nan Shen) was struck by lightning and fell, heart-broken, into the river, Xun Ya summoned his true form, the great dragon, Yuan Shen, to save her.&nbsp;

Thanks to Xun Ya, Green Snake survived the fall, but he could not save her from the cold toxin which settled within, inflicting her with an illness from which she would never fully recover. Feeling a deep need to care for her, Xun Ya took it upon himself to build an inn on the banks of the Louchuan River, and settled Green Snake as its keeper. To keep her company, Xun Ya turned a talisman paper into a young man by the name of Zhe Sheng (Dong Li Wu You). Safe inside the Sansheng Inn, Green Snake and Zhe Sheng cared for the inn and the souls who visited, and for three hundred years, she and the boy were happy.&nbsp;

But when an angry demon, bent on chaos and destruction appears, Green Snake’s once peaceful world is shattered. Determined to protect those she loves, Green Snake willingly takes up the fight against the forces who would destroy her world. But will her efforts be enough to triumph over the attack of such a powerful foe?
