Synopsis and Plot Summary

A story about the Heaven's way and the anomalies that arise. Monkey was formed out of a rock three hundred years ago. Unwilling to accept his fate, he stands up against destiny in order to change the future.

Monkey (Raymond Lam) starts on a road towards immortal cultivation to save himself. The journey is difficult and treacherous, but he gets saved by the golden feathered canary (Angelina Jiang) who sacrifices her own life for him. Vowing to resurrect her, he travels far and wide to come under the tutelage of a master. Along the way, he becomes entangled in a complicated relationship with the innocent Feng Ling (Eva Chang) and the prideful Yang Chan (Jiang Mengjie).
