Mu Qishen was sent to the countryside to recuperate, where he met Xiaonezha (Shen Nanqiao). The two forged a deep bond. Before leaving, Mu Qishen left the keepsakes Huntian Ling and Qiankun Quan, vowing that he would marry her after many years. However, the Qiankun Quan was snatched away by Xia Mengfei when they were children. Twenty years later, Xia Mengfei, holding the keepsake Qiankun Quan, pretended to be Xiaonezha and was taken by Mu Qishen to his home in Shencheng.
