The moment Xiao Jingyan transmigrates into the Great Qian emperor, he nearly drowns aboard his own imperial dragon boat!
The Cold Palace seethes with resentment, poison lurks in the imperial meals, and even the empress’s chambers echo with the cries of a vengeful female ghost at midnight...
The officials of the court all think the emperor is weak and easy to bully, but they have no idea that
The man now living inside Xiao Jingyan is the last heir to the Maoshan Celestial Masters!
“Your Majesty, there are... there are ghosts in the palace!”
Xiao Jingyan gives a cold laugh. A talisman in his sleeve bursts into flame, and a beam of golden light suppresses the evil spirits, revealing a hundred ghosts!
“It’s not ghosts haunting the palace. Someone is pretending to be a ghost. And I, your emperor, deal with anyone who refuses to submit.”
The court officials accuse me of neglecting state affairs?
I’ll summon Zhong Kui’s divine avatar and have him judge the dead by night and the living by day. No corrupt official will escape!
The empress dowager and the Prince of Virtue join forces to curse me?
I’ll sever the curse at its root with a single sword strike, then send a Five Thunder Talisman their way and blast their souls to oblivion!
Enemy armies are massing at the border?
I’ll scatter beans to summon soldiers and turn stones into generals, while three thousand paper figures descend as divine troops!
From this day on, I will no longer be a puppet emperor. I’ll be the Great Qian’s number-one ghost-catching Celestial Master, the true dragon among men, the talisman tycoon, Xiao Jingyan!
All demons and ghosts will be slain by a single cinnabar talisman drawn by my hand;
All the realm will submit to a single breath of righteousness in my palm.
[My principle is this:
I rule the world of the living, and I rule the world of the dead too!]
