Defying Heaven

Here's a brief introduction to the characters: Xia Yizhen: A living dead man who can predict the future and serves as the Imperial Astrologer. But this uncanny ability has ruined his life, and he's always fighting against fate. Xue Xiaobi: A green snake demon, though he's actually a human, not a demon. You'll have to read the story to find out why. Xue Jingzhi: A rogue immortal who has cultivated for years and seen through the ways of the world, yet can't see through love. He's remained obsessed with his love for his junior brother from hundreds of years ago, and eventually does something utterly reckless for his sake. Li Zhaoyu: An emperor who has been madly in love with the Imperial Astrologer since childhood. But the man won't give him the time of day. The emperor never cared about the realm in the first place, so he gets angry and deliberately goes against the Astrologer. He neglects his duties, indulges in wine and women, and eventually loses his kingdom. Those are the four main characters. Everyone else is a supporting character. Theme:
