"Lady White Snake" is one of the most popular love story. Taking the shapes of two women, White Snake and Green Snake toured on the West Lake. There they met Xu Xian, whom White Snake fell in love with and married shortly. On a May Festival, Xu offered an herb drink to White Snake. And then White Snake turned back to a snake, which shocked Xu to death. To rescue Xu, White Snake stole a magic herb from the Magic Mountain. With this herb, she brought Xu back to life. Xu went to the Jinshan Temple to thank god. There the Fa Hai told him that the snake he saw on the May Festival was actually his wife. The frightened Xu was persuaded to stay in the temple. White Snake went to beg Fa to return her husband to her but Fa showed no mercy on her. Desperately, White Snake fought with Fa Hai. Unfortunately, she lost the battle and escaped to the Broken Bridge on the West Lake. A few moments later, Xu also arrived. The couple had a very touching scene on the bridge. Although heart-broken, White Snake still loved Xu. Xu, full of guilty feelings, was struggling between love and fear. After White Snake had given birth to a baby boy, Fa Hai arrived to capture her and put her under a pagoda. White Snake remained there until her son grew up, passed the official examination with high honors, and returned to beg for her release.
