Once the beloved Crown Prince of Xian Le, Xie Lian lived as the kingdom's pride and treasured darling. His ascension to the Heavens came while still young, yet his fate proved unkind—swift banishment cast him back to the mortal realm. A second attempt at heavenly ascension ended similarly, sealed by another swift expulsion. Eight centuries later, Xie Lian ascends to the Heavens a third time, though now as a figure mocked throughout all three realms. During his inaugural divine assignment, he encounters an enigmatic demon—a powerful entity commanding the ghosts and striking fear across the Heavens itself. Unknown to Xie Lian, this fearsome demon king has harbored a long-standing fascination with him, watching intently from the shadows for countless years.
