ANYONE WHO HASNT WATCHED TGCF/HOB MUST WATCH IT NOW!

its such a good show and the books are just as great. THE STORY AND CHARACTERS ARE SO GOOD. I ADORE IT.

the basic idea is this:

it follows the story of Xie Lian, a disgraced god with a long history as being wrongfully accused of being a misfortunate man. In reality, he is a sweet man who messed up when trying to save his people. One day, he ascends back to the heavens once again, for the third time, causing havoc in the upper court. Penniless, he returns to the mortal world to capture a ghost who has been killing brides. Afterwards, when returning to his small shrine, he meets a young boy; San Lang. They spend the night together, and set out on another adventure to the desert with two of Xie Lians companions. 

More of the story progresses, but many things come into play to make this story so great and fleshed out. San Lang ends up being a powerful ghost, Xie Lian uncovers some of his forgotten past. More people befriend him and more wacky characters are thrown into the mix. 

my personal favorite is Shi Qingshuan, lord wind master! They are one of the 5 elemental pillars of the heavenly court and are absolutely a delight. They love to change their gender whenever, sometimes roping their friends into the same! Theyre overall bubbly, helpful and enthusiastic. 

Another, is the illusive and scary Hua Cheng! He is the king of ghosts, crimson rain sought flower. He was known for challenging the heavens and destroying the livelihoods of 33 gods in a single night. He is one of the 4 great calamities, and known to be very cunning and scary, yet has a huge soft spot for xie lian. I love him so much :3

happy reading/watching!!
