Green Snake

Two snake spirits, the Green Snake and the White Snake, take human form to experience the mortal world. The Green Snake, more impulsive and curious, falls for a young scholar named Ning. However, their desire for human love clashes with the natural order and the spiritual realm, leading to a confrontation with a powerful Buddhist monk.
