The immortal White Snake: Bai Suzhen and Green Snake: Qing Er spend a thousand years together in the heavenly mountains practicing meditation. An accidental glimpse of human life on earth stirs their curiosity, so they transform themselves into humans to explore and enjoy the mortal world. At West Lake, in Hangzhou, Bai Suzhen meets scholar Xu Xian and it is love at first sight. With Qing Er as witness, Bai and Xu get married.
The married couple runs a pharmacy curing the sick and saving lives. An epidemic befalls the area, requiring Suzhen to use her magical powers to help the sick. Doing so distracts the masses from going to the Golden Mountain Temple to pay homage for good health. This incurs the anger of the temple’s monk, who decides to get revenge by convincing Xu Xian to use strong yellow wine to cause Suzhen to return to her original form. When the transformation happens,Xu Xian scares to death.
Bai Suzhen risks her life to steal a life-saving herb to revive Xu Xian. Unfortunately, Xu Xian is again duped by the monk and is detained inside the Gold Mountain Temple. Bai Suzhen and Qing Er plead with the monk to release Xu Xian but are instead defeated by troops of soldiers from heaven. Despite Suzhen's formidable resistance and even flooding the Gold Mountain Temple, she soon can hardly fight due to her pregnancy.
Xu Xian manages to escape. Bai Suzhen flees to Broken Bridge to meet Xu Xian. After much explanation and clarification, the two finally reunite and forgive each other.
