He is the Jade Emperor's own nephew and the Three Realms' most aloof, three-eyed God of War: Yang Jian.
When his mother is imprisoned beneath Peach Mountain, he takes up an axe in his mortal body and splits the mountain open to save her, defying heaven and beginning an endless feud with the Celestial Court.
The Jade Emperor suppresses him, imprisons him, and schemes against him,
but Yang Jian holds his ground at Guanjiangkou, with Howling Celestial Dog and the six holy generals under his command.
He does not serve the Celestial Court or worship the gods. He lives freely as the Lord Erlang.
Two women hold his heart throughout his life:
One is Qingyao, a mortal girl from the foot of Peach Mountain.
She stood by him through the darkest years of his youth, bringing him the warmth of the human world. She is the purest light in his heart.
The other is Ao Ningshuang, a princess of the West Sea Dragon Clan.
She understands his loneliness and trusts his true nature. She fights demons by his side, a soulmate bound to him by fate.
On the Journey to the West, he is both rival and friend to Sun Wukong, and their magical battle shakes the heavens.
In the Hall of Miraculous Mist, he faces the Celestial Court's power games with cold eyes and refuses to yield an inch.
As the Three Realms fall into turmoil and the shackles of fate tighten, grudges from past and present lives come to light one by one.
Family, love, brotherhood, loyalty, power struggles, defying heaven...
The world says Yang Jian is cold-hearted,
but who knows how he protects his family, his friends, and the people he loves?
All his tenderness is hidden in the divine eye that sees through the Three Realms.
In this life, Yang Jian raises his eyes, golden light piercing the clouds:
"My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven's!
Anyone who harms my mother, betrays my friends, or hurts the people I love,
I, Yang Jian, will shatter heaven and earth with my Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear!"
