Born the crown prince of a prosperous
kingdom, Xie Lian was renowned for his beauty, strength, and purity. His
years of dedicated study and noble deeds allowed him to ascend to
godhood. But those who rise may also fall, and fall he does-cast from
the heavens and banished to the world below.
Eight hundred years
after his mortal life, Xie Lian has ascended to godhood for the third
time, angering most of the gods in the process. To repay his debts, he
is sent to the Mortal Realm to hunt down violent ghosts and
troublemaking spirits who prey on the living. Along his travels, he
meets the fascinating and brilliant San Lang, a young man with whom he
feels an instant connection. Yet San Lang is clearly more than he
appears... What mysteries lie behind that carefree smile?
