Synopsis

In ancient times, the immortal Fuxi desired to create a paradise called the Eternal Country in the human world. His wish, however, put him at odds with his lover, the goddess Yaochi Shengmu, because her mission is to bring death and disease upon humankind. Fuxi eventually broke up with Yaochi Shengmu and started a new relationship with Chang'e after adopting a new identity as the archer Houyi. He lost Chang'e when she flew to the moon after consuming a magic pill from Yaochi Shengmu. Fuxi blamed Yaochi Shengmu for separating him and Chang'e, and fought with his ex-lover. The immortals of the Pangu clan intervened by imprisoning Yaochi Shengmu in Heaven, while Fuxi remains in the human world.
Kuang Tianyou and Ma Xiaoling have been living in Heaven after successfully preventing Nüwa from ending the world in 2001. Three years later, Yaochi Shengmu breaks free and introduces a deadly virus to wipe out the Pangu clan. Kuang, who is infected by the virus and on the verge of dying, sends Ma back to the human world. Ma has to find ways to stop an imminent clash between Fuxi and Yaochi Shengmu because that could lead to the end of the world.
Ma travels back in time to the Song dynasty to find Kuang's previous avatar, Arrowhead, and takes him to present-day Hong Kong to help her. At the same time, she meets her family members — her parents Ma Dalong and Tang Jinbao, and her twin brother Ma Xiaohu — whom she has never seen before. She also encounters a strange girl called Kuang Tianya, who turns out to be her daughter from the future. She is eventually reunited with Kuang Tianyou.
Just as relations between Fuxi and Yaochi Shengmu start to improve, and the situation becomes more stable, Kuang, Ma, and their allies are confronted by Destiny, the entity that controls and dictates the fates of all beings in the universe. They need to overcome Destiny in order to change the fate of the world.
