Hua Qian Gu: Hua Hun Zhi Lu

When the Purple Magic Orchid—a catastrophic force of nature—spreads uncontrollably through a secluded valley, it poisons everything in its path, driving inhabitants into madness and death. Only Hua Qiangu survives the devastation, shielded by the ancient Flower God Tree. Yet this fragile peace shatters when a mythical Phoenix carries an infected infant from beyond the valley’s borders. Defying their ancestors' strict laws against admitting outsiders, the King and Queen of Hua Qiangu take the child in, naming her Princess Peony and raising her as their own. Tragedy soon follows as the protective Flower God Tree inexplicably withers and Princess Peony falls gravely ill. Suspicion turns the valley's residents against the girl, demanding her exile. Refusing to abandon her daughter, the Queen seeks the tree's guidance and volunteers for a perilous journey into the dark enchantment to endure a heavenly tribulation and restore the scattered flower souls. However, the overwhelming corruption of the Purple Magic Orchid traps her, and she never returns. A decade later, the orchid resurfaces, threatening Hua Qiangu with total annihilation. Guided by her mother's enduring teachings, the now-grown Princess Peony sets out on a desperate quest, carrying the precious flower soul seeds to save her homeland from unprecedented ruin.
