This tale unfolds in a village dedicated to fishing and wood-cutting situated near Changde Mountain in Hunan province. Among the villagers resided Liu Hai, a diligent woodcutter who shared a home with his mother. Liu made a living by harvesting wood and gathering Chinese herbs. Little did anyone in the village, including the Liu family, realize that the well in their home was no ordinary well. Legend had it that a mystical luffa resided in the well, ensuring an endless supply of sweet water. Possessing this luffa bestowed immortality and limitless magical abilities. Liu Hai's uncle, Liu Zhen Bin, harbored a strong desire for the luffa. In his quest to claim it, he resorted to any means necessary, even unjustly evicting his own relatives from their home. After obtaining the luffa, Liu Zhen Bin offered it to the malevolent spirit, Qiong Qi, unaware that Qiong Qi also coveted the luffa. Meanwhile, in Changde Mountain, a place teeming with life energy, resided a nine-tail fox and a golden toad who found themselves entangled in the unfolding drama. Touched by Liu Hai's sincerity and kindness, the nine-tail fox fell deeply in love with him. She decided to leave Changde Mountain and accompany Liu Hai to Changde county. Together, they embarked on a perilous journey filled with challenges, twists, and confrontations with malevolent forces.
