There is a small island in the East Sea, elongated in shape, wider in the east and narrower in the west. The island is lush with vegetation, with interconnected courtyards, rock gardens, and ponds. Magnificent buildings with flying eaves adorn the landscape, while a flock of white cranes circles high in the sky. From a distance, the entire island resembles a giant gourd, hence the name Huludao (Gourd Island). On this island resides a Han family that practices cultivation, and the story begins here.
