It is said that there was a white snake who became a cultivator and became the White Snake. She married young Xu Xian and lived a very sweet life. Knowing this, after the marriage, monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple told Xu Xian that Bai Suzhen was a snake demon, but Xu Xian was skeptical.

Later, Xu Xian followed Fahai's method and made Bai Suzhen drink wine with realgar on Dragon Boat Festival. Bai Suzhen had to show her original shape, but frightened Xu Xian to death. Bai Suzhen went to heaven to steal the fairy grass and revive Xu Xian. Fahai deceived Xu Xian to Jinshan Temple and placed him under house arrest. Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing fought with Fahai and flooded Jinshan Temple, but they harmed other living beings.

Bai Suzhen violated the rules of heaven and was taken into an alms bowl by Fahai after giving birth to a child and suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda. Hou Bai Suzhen's son grew up and won the first prize. He went to the pagoda to sacrifice his mother, rescued her and reunited the whole family. And the lovely Xiao Qing also found her husband.
