Dust Lamp

Shen Qingci, the Qinghe Emperor above the Nine Heavens, disobeyed the rules of heaven and secretly released the water of the Tianhe River to help the people in the border areas who were suffering from a severe drought. He was deprived of his godhead and cast down into the mortal world, and became a "fallen god" who suffered the catastrophe of the mortal world. Over the course of a hundred years, he has seen the indifference of repaying kindness with hatred, and tasted the taste of gold from many mouths, but he has always adhered to the obsession of "saving one person is one person", opened an unknown teahouse in a deserted border town, and secretly used his remaining divine power to heal mortals injured by the resentment of the abyss. The tranquility of the tea house was broken by the shadow of a ruthless ghost abducting children. When Shen Qingci's magical power was weak and he was in a desperate situation, Ye Li suddenly appeared in black clothes. He defeated the enemy and left quietly, leaving behind a jade pendant engraved with a ghostly lotus. The familiar wave of goodwill on the jade pendant reminded him of the first child from the borderlands who kowtowed to him during the drought - and now Yeli is the most feared and vicious ghost in the abyss. He is riddled with resentment because his family was silenced by the heavenly forces, but he only retains the ultimate loyalty to him. When Ling Xiaojun launched a divine punishment to cover up his crimes and wanted to destroy the border wilderness and the Central Plains together, Shen Qingci finally understood that the so-called dust lamp was never a tool for personal salvation, but the gathering of the goodwill of thousands of mortals. This is a legend of mutual redemption between a fallen god and a ruthless ghost. It is also a hymn in which the glimmer of mortal light shakes the three realms. When Shen Qingci refused to return to heaven and chose to stay in the human world and continue to be a lamplighter, under the eaves of the Wangyou Tea House, countless dust lamps swayed gently, illuminating the boundaries between gods and mortals, light and shadow - it turns out that the real gods are never above the nine heavens, but in their every persistence to protect the common people.
