share time: 2025-11-18 02:31:17

A Ji, the Fifth Heavenly King of the Southern Gate, is labeled a "good-for-nothing" by other immortals—while others subdue demons or oversee stars, he only guards a broom and a tattered merit book. Until Xiao Man, a fox demon who stole nectar from the瑶池, crashes into his arms. She not only ruins his merit book but also reveals the secret behind his "gate duty": in his past life as a mortal, A Ji saved a little fox being chased by hunters—and that fox is Xiao Man. She returns with the jade pendant from that year to break his curse of "never leaving the Southern Gate," but the price is losing all her millennium-long demon power. Torn between his 300-year obsession with the gate and the girl who’d sacrifice her life for his freedom, A Ji finally understands: being a "Heavenly King" isn’t about guarding a gate—it’s about guarding the one you love.
