Short description

An orphaned girl, driven by poverty at such a young age, makes a promise with an enchantress. In return for beauty and the admiration of every man, she will never be with the man she loves. This spell cannot be broken unless the impossible happens: snow falling in spring and the dead coming back to life. Now a grown and beautiful princess, she regrets her promise, for all of the men she's loved has always been met with tragedy.

What's left behind the scenes

A loose adaptation of Pei Xin's novel "The Kunlun Slave" (Chinese: "Kunlun nu").
