Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan CI Fu (Novel) Vol. 1

Product Information

The altar lamps that burned day and night trembled as their flames danced violently. Godly officials who were awakened departed from their own palace halls, rushing about as they asked, who is the upstart that ascended? This place is shaking so much! THE TOUCH OF A HAND, A ROLL OF THE DICE Xie Lian has confirmed that the bewitching youth San Lang is actually Hua Cheng, one of the Four Calamities and a supreme ghost despised by all heavenly officials. Still, he has trouble matching the terror of his companion’s reputation with the charming, clever, and protective young man he’s come to know. When a distress signal leads Xie Lian into Ghost City, a bustling metropolis containing all the horrors and delights of the dead, he sees Hua Cheng in his element—and his true form—for the first time. But despite their chemistry and care for one another, there are missions to fulfill and secrets to uncover, and Xie Lian’s centuries of troubled history are never far behind.

For things to become like this, it was really unimaginable. It was to the extent that nowadays, if someone told the other that, “You gave birth to a son who is Xian Le’s Crown Prince”, that would be much more malicious than cursing out the other party’s descendants.Yes! Along with being distributed by Penguin Random House, the largest distributor in North America—who provides service to many retailers and bookstores around the world—we also recently launched the GOMANGA Store! Seven Seas Licenses Three Chinese Danmei Novel Series: GUARDIAN: ZHEN HUN and STARS OF CHAOS: SHA PO LANG by priest, and Meng Xi Shi's THOUSAND AUTUMNS: QIAN QIU Ghosts are converging on the cursed Mount Tonglu for a massive battle royale, the sole survivor of which may become a Ghost King, a being of unimaginable power. Xie Lian is sent to secretly infiltrate and try to prevent this–by destroying any ghosts strong enough to stand a chance. Then the Heavens would be the ones who are wrong. Why should the people who are right apologize to the ones who are wrong?” When an old friend reveals his true nature, Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi have no choice but to aid him on a perilous mission. Only this time, humans aren't the only monsters to fear.

Because of the writing style, it’s really reminiscent of manhua/manga, which may be irritating to some. It didn’t bother me in the slightest - in fact, when I learned that there’s an actual TGCF manhua (sadly, only a couple of chapters) and plans for donghua, I was over the moon. When it’s finally complete, I’d love to revisit this wonderful tale. Special mention: The way Hua Cheng called Xie Lian 'gege' drove me insane! (Gege is a Chinese word, which is a very flirtatious way of saying older brother *squealsss*) ❤ KEEP YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER As the case of the murders in the capital comes to a close, Mo Xi takes custody of Gu Mang, the traitor who was once his lover. With his betrayer now firmly in his grasp, Mo Xi believes he can manipulate Gu Mang into revealing the hidden secrets within his broken mind. Yet one question continues to haunt Mo Xi: Is Gu Mang pretending, or has he truly forgotten everything? Tortured by specters of the past and bound by demands of the present, Mo Xi begins to lose hope of ever gaining the satisfaction he craves. But when Gu Mang's memories finally do surface, what—or who—will he remember? It's been so long since I read a series (yes, it's only one book, but it's as if it were a five-book series as it's divided into five parts) in which my interest in the characters went up with every book instead of steadily declining. Why is English publishing so bad at sequels? [I have theories, but they're OT and I will shut up.] From then on, a Martial God known for protection and peace faded away, and a demonic God who attracted disasters was born.

hua cheng: looks like he could kill you but is actually a cinnamon roll (for xie lian)/will actually kill you (everyone else) Thank uu to these two, my wonderful friends Mary and Eden for discussing this novel with me, I had such an amazing time discussing it with you both💕💕 To be banished once was already extraordinary shame and humiliation. To be banished twice, no one could ever climb up again.

When people said you were a god, then you were a god. If they said you were sh*t, then you were sh*t. Whatever the people said you were, that was what you became. It had always been like this. It wasn’t that His Highness the Crown Prince did not do his best, yet it would have been better had he had not done his best. The more he strived, the more complicated the war became. The people of Xian Le were beaten til their heads fell and their blood flowed, suffering disastrous casualties. Finally, a plague swept throughout the whole Imperial City and the rebels broke into the palace, ending the war. i loved this book so much that im afraid i'll never feel this way about any other book ever again in my life. i didn't expect that a fan translation of a chinese webnovel could engulf my heart and soul like this but here we are. this is just......one of the best things i've ever read and im so !!!!!!!!

Reviews

Though Emperor Jun had accumulated spiritual Godly power for thousands of years, even he did not dare to lightly say those words out loud. When he heard the Crown Prince, his mood could be easily imagined. However, Emperor Jun couldn’t do anything about him and could only helplessly say, “You cannot save everybody.” White No-Face’s mask is off, and the final conflict has begun. Deep in the ancient caverns and lava flows of Mount Tonglu, Xie Lian must face the one whose hatred has plagued him for centuries—but this time, he won’t have to do it alone. His beloved, Hua Cheng, has spent his long existence amassing the power to protect him, and now with their feelings for each other out in the open, they have all the more reason to fight for survival.

A Battle for Freedom, A Love for the Ages. White No-Face’s mask is off, and the final conflict has begun. Deep in the ancient caverns and lava flows of Mount Tonglu, Xie Lian must face the one whose hatred has plagued him for centuries—but this time, he won’t have to do it alone. His beloved, Hua Cheng, has spent his long existence amassing the power to protect him, and now with their feelings for each other out in the open, they have all the more reason to fight for survival. In this thrilling conclusion to Heaven Official’s Blessing, can Xie Lian and Hua Cheng triumph against an all-powerful foe? Also included in this final volume are five bonus tales of romance, celebration, and adventure. A-Qing only gave her name to those who treated her nicely. But she had no choice but to tell him, thanks to the awful name Xue Yang was calling her. A GOD FALLEN, A GHOST RISEN Born the crown prince of a prosperous kingdom, Xie Lian was renowned for his beauty, strength, and purity. His years of dedicated study and noble deeds allowed him to ascend to godhood. But those who rise may also fall, and fall he does–cast from the heavens and banished to the world below. Eight hundred years after his mortal life, Xie Lian has ascended to godhood for the third time, angering most of the gods in the process. To repay his debts, he is sent to the Mortal Realm to hunt down violent ghosts and troublemaking spirits who prey on the living. Along his travels, he meets the fascinating and brilliant San Lang, a young man with whom he feels an instant connection. Yet San Lang is clearly more than he appears… What mysteries lie behind that carefree smile? However, it wasn’t convenient for them to say more, and they also didn’t dare do it. His Highness wouldn’t listen to them anyway.I absolutely love the characters in this book not only the main 2 (Xie Lian & Hua Cheng / San Lang) but everyone else too… I care for them so much and that is one of the sign how good the characterization in this book.. however Xie Lian kindness and Hua Cheng’s devotion and loyalty really inspired me to become a better person! The romance could almost be described as kind of creepy. Like the ML obsesses over the MC for 800 years, isolating himself from the world and not taking any side of the story besides MC’s is supposed to be romantic, but it really isn’t. The ML carves thousands of statues of the MC, which is sweet in a way, but also really, really creepy. To quote someone from NovelUpdates who put it 100x better than I could: SYSTEM ACTIVATION SUCCESSFUL! 】 Half-demon Luo Binghe rose from humble beginnings and a tortured past to become unrivaled in strength and beauty. With his dominion over both the Human and Demon Realms and his hundreds-strong harem, he is truly the most powerful protagonist…in a trashy webnovel series! At least, that’s what Shen Yuan believes as he finishes reading the final chapter in Proud Immortal Demon Way. But when a bout of rage leads to his sudden death, Shen Yuan is reborn into the world of the novel in the body of Shen Qingqiu–the beautiful but cruel teacher of a young Luo Binghe. While Shen Qingqiu may have the incredible power of a cultivator, he is destined to be horrifically punished for crimes against the protagonist. The new Shen Qingqiu now has only one course of action: get into Luo Binghe’s good graces before the young man’s rise to power or suffer the awful fate of a true scum villain! I’ve already read and love The Grandmaster Of Demonic Cultivation (Mo Dao Zu Shi - MDZS) from this author (Wei Ying & Lan Zhan will be forever my fav couple), but this one is a proof how this author really grew after MDZS book. To put it more vulgarly, wasn’t he just an useless figure who was unable to accomplish anything, but liable to spoiling everything else?
