English Overview

Long ago, under the mystical protection of the Magic Aster, Ma Lan Mountain flourished as a joyful haven for humans, animals, and plants alike. During this time, a heroic spirit named Ma Lang saved the elderly herbal collector, Wang Laodie, who had fallen from the mountain while picking herbs. In the process, Ma Lang encountered and fell in love with Wang Laodie’s daughter, Xiao Lan. However, Xiao Lan’s twin sister, Da Lan, driven by envy and material desire, began to covet the Magic Aster. Exploiting Da Lan’s vanity, a malicious vine-demon stole the Magic Aster, intending to seize Ma Lan Mountain for herself. Yet, the Magic Aster only blossoms for the industrious, kind, and persevering. With collective effort and unity, Ma Lang and Xiao Lan overcome the vine-demon and Da Lan’s treachery, and even the stray old cat finds redemption. In the end, Ma Lan Mountain is restored to harmony and joy.
