Summary: The Chinese drama follows Zhong Yun Fei’s growth and transformation on the difficult road of guarding the human world, and the entanglement of love and hatred with Bai Ning Yu who crosses the three realms and transcends the immortal world.
Plot Synopsis:
During his lifetime, Zhong Kui rids evil. The Jade Emperor feels that Zhong Kui is awe-inspiring and righteous. He is named as the heavenly master of descending demons. Zhong Kui specializes in all things injustice and upholds justice for the world. But the immortals think that Zhong Kui’s personality is impulsive, and it is difficult to take a heavy responsibility.
After a fierce debate, Guanyin Bodhisattva suggests that Zhong Kui’s descending experience should be regarded as a test before deciding whether or not to be a god. The Jade Emperor readily agreed, and decides not to interfere with the grievances of mortals, and not to use favouritism to change mortals’ fate and other taboos.
Since then, the three righteous brothers Zhong Kui, Liu Han Yan and Wang Fu Qu work together to face the immortal trial. They use their swords to wipe out the injustices in the world, but they encounter problems repeatedly, only to realize that the right and wrong are far from the simplicity they imagined. In the frustrations and trials, the three people gradually mature and their strength gradually becomes stronger.
Facing the rampant demon world counterattack, the three of them do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves to achieve justice. This fearless spirit is seen and rewarded by the heavens. They were not only named the demon-catching heavenly masters, but also become the eternal patron saints of the human world.
