Xie Lian, born the crown prince of a prosperous kingdom, was celebrated for his beauty, strength, and purity. After years of devoted study and noble deeds, he ascends to godhood. However, those who ascend may also fall, and fall he does--cast from the heavens and banished to the world below.

To repay his debts, he is sent to the Mortal Realm to hunt down violent ghosts and troublemaking spirits who prey on the living.
