Zheng Qinglan, a celestial goddess from the Ninth Heaven, unexpectedly fell in love with Zhao Cangyuan, the emperor of the mortal realm.
To keep her in the human world, Zhao Cangyuan spent three years building the Moon-Plucking Tower. He climbed its nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine heavenly steps on his knees, bowing with every step. Only with such sincerity did the gods allow the goddess to be his wife for one lifetime.
Zhao Cangyuan left all six palace compounds empty and swore that Zheng Qinglan would be the only woman in his life. If he broke that vow, he would die a terrible death.
The love between an emperor and a goddess moved the whole world, but only Zheng Qinglan knew the truth.
They had been married for a mere three years, yet Zhao Cangyuan had already filled the underground harem beneath his palace with over a hundred beauties. Three days ago, he could no longer restrain himself and even brought one of them to her palace.
Zhao Cangyuan thought he could keep it from Zheng Qinglan, not knowing that even without her divine powers, a goddess was no blind, foolish nobody.
The emperor deceived Heaven, and the gods were enraged. They sent down divine punishment. The goddess sacrificed herself to it, repaying the emperor's devoted love. From then on, the goddess and the emperor would never meet again.
