Zi Guang, a carefree poor boy in the Nawo Canyon, was taken back to the Holy Palace. He will undergo a series of training in three years to become a qualified Holy King. But Ziguang rejected his new identity. Whenever he wanted to escape, his mentor Jiang Zhouzi and deputy commander Reba used divine revelation as a reason to let him accept the arrangement of fate and complete God's mission. But Ziguang just wanted to return to his hometown and grow old hand in hand with his childhood sweetheart Mu Sang, but things are unpredictable. Everything changed the day he stepped into the Holy Palace. The residents of Nawo Canyon were forced to move, but they were killed by strangers on the way. Mu Sang grew up in Cave Mountain. The old man fled to the Holy City and lived on Bahuang Street opposite the Holy Palace. The two were close to each other, but they could not meet each other due to their differences in status. Mu Sang, who was unwilling to succumb to fate, had to make a living by buying wine in the Liuyao Tavern after many hardships. Ziguang lives a very depressed life in the palace. His words and deeds and even his marriage are decided by the deputy commander Reba and his master Jiang Zhouzi. He wants to resist and becomes good friends with Luo Zhi, the prince of the neighboring Yan Kingdom. With the help of Luo Zhi, Ziguang searches for Mu Sang, but gets the news that all the people in Nawo Canyon are dead. Ziguang thinks that Reba sent people to kill Nawo Canyon in order to keep the secret. The so-called successor of the Holy King is simply false. Ziguang, who no longer wanted to be a puppet, deliberately left the Holy Palace at night to have fun and became the first dissolute Holy King in the Holy City. Unexpectedly, he met Mu Sang, who had become a wine girl. Mu Sang's reappearance made up for the trauma in his soul. From then on, he escaped from the Holy Palace every night, just to meet his lover. There were more and more unfavorable legends about him, and Mu Sang suddenly disappeared. Everyone rumored that she was dead. The angry Ziguang decided to refuse the canonization at the formal canonization ceremony. He refused to be the Holy King. His personal behavior caused an uproar. As long as Luo Zhi always supported him, with Luo Zhi's help , Ziguang killed Reba, the deputy commander who had been persecuting him, but the Holy City was still in turmoil. At the same time, Luo Zhi killed his brother Luo Zongtu and became the king of Yan Kingdom. In order to control the Holy City, he let out the news that Ziguang was not the successor of the divine revelation. In the end, Ziguang was killed by the new deputy commander Zhuo Jiu, ending his unwilling life. Before his death, Ziguang learned from Zhuo Jiu that the Reba he hated was actually his biological father. Intention: Why should you live in this world if you are ruthless?
