My name is Liu Ye, and I'm the feng shui world's pay-me-more Taoist.
I solve problems for a clearly stated fee, and I've never failed.
My days are split in two:
One half is a money-making routine with a squad of ridiculous teammates: a Ghost Hero from Longhu Mountain, a quick-witted master from Maoshan, a human tank from Wudang, and a Zen preacher of feel-good wisdom. Together, we handle all kinds of deadly yet lucrative “supernatural incidents.”
The other half is spent battling the nine-headed fiend sealed inside me, day and night. Every time I use its power, I come one step closer to becoming a demon who knows nothing but killing.
They say this is my fate, and that I must wear the “Warm Spirit destiny” as a shackle if I want to survive.
Then I met her: Muxue, the Thunder Arts reaper of the Special Investigations Bureau. She's the only anchor that can hold me steady when I lose control, and the “mistake” my master ordered me to stay away from, even threatening his life to make sure I obeyed.
When the thousand-year conspiracy of the Wuyou Cult comes to light, and the so-called “chosen one” is revealed to be the result of a ridiculous mix-up,
I face a childhood friend trying to force me into marriage, a lover who refuses to turn back, sinister gods lurking in wait, and the idiots who trust me enough to watch their backs. At last, I understand one thing:
To hell with the Mandate of Heaven.
My path is mine to choose, not Heaven's.
Even if I have to unleash the full power of the fiend and make an enemy of the world, I'll carve out a free path to survival for us.
With my fiendish power, I'll protect her god-slaying soul.
I have no regrets on this path.
