story is set on the Junwu continent (君武大陆), a world of cultivation. Feng Wu, once hailed as a genius girl and the second person ever to possess the phoenix true blood, is ambushed by her rival Zuo Qingluan, who steals the blood and leaves her powerless and near death. Her master Mu Jiuzhou exhausts his own vitality to save her and falls into a deep sleep.[4](https://wetv.vip/zh-cn/play/78319w3cxn15xeo)\n\nInto this broken body arrives Meng Yuan, a modern-day university student of traditional Chinese medicine who enters the cultivation world through a gaming accident. Living as Feng Wu, she uses modern thinking and her medical knowledge to protect her family in the other world, gathers companions, and renews the half-remembered childhood betrothal with Jun Linyuan, the holy son and heir of the Junwu clan. The two grow from bickering strangers into partners who support each other through a second life of cultivation and adventure.[4](https://wetv.vip/zh-cn/play/78319w3cxn15xeo) Yang Chaoyue plays both the ancient Feng Wu and the modern Meng Yuan.[5](https://bkso.baidu.com/item/%E5%87%A4%E8%88%9E/24344151?fromModule=lemma_inlink)\n\n## Production\n\nThe drama began filming at [Hengdian World Studios](https://www.edgepedia.org/hengdian-world-studios) on September 23, 2019, and wrapped on December 21, 2019.
