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?
