Leifeng Pagoda is associated with a touching love story between a white snake spirit and a mortal man. Legend has it that a white snake and a blue snake took on the appearance of beautiful ladies after acquiring the supernatural powers over thousands of years. They were named Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing. One day when they were visiting West Lake, it suddenly rained. Fortunately, they met a scholar named Xu Xi'an on the Broken Bridge. He lent his umbrella to them. Xu Xi'an and Bai Suzhen fell in love with each other at first sight. Soon, they were married.
However, Evil Monk Fa Hai imprisoned Xu Xi'an so as to separate this couple. Bai Suzhen tried hard to save her husband by using her power. But all her efforts were in vain, and she was imprisoned under the Leifeng Pagoda. Driven by anger and sadness, Xiao Qing tried her utmost to improve her supernatural power. Finally, she beat the Evil Monk Fa Hai, tore down the tower, and saved Bai Suzhen and Xu Xi'an. From then on, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xi'an lived together happily.
