Above the clouds lies a celestial casino where the Gods of heaven bet on the sorrows and joys of Earth for their own amusement. The Gods choose a newborn baby boy, Wang Sangui, and curse him with a strange affliction: everything he kisses falls into a deep slumber, and only true love can break the spell. Sangui embarks on a solitary journey to White Stone City, where he grows into adulthood and meets three women who alter his fate: Yuyu, who dreams of becoming a princess; "The Witch," a recluse who resides in an abandoned house; and Ting Ting, Sangui's childhood sweetheart. Along his quest to break the curse, Sangui uncovers the dark secret of the seemingly peaceful White Stone City.
