LIFETIMES OF CRUELTY, CENTURIES OF DEVOTION
The Kiln is open, and White No-Face is back to his full power. The past eight hundred years have not blunted his hatred nor his obsession with Xie Lian—he aims to break Xie Lian down to nothing, even if all of humanity and the heavens themselves are collateral damage.
This time, however, Xie Lian will not face him alone. Together with Hua Cheng—powerful ghost king, stalwart protector, and devoted love—can Xie Lian finally reveal the face behind the mask and put an end to the nightmare forever?

Heaven Official’s Blessing (天官赐福, also known as Tian Guan Ci Fu or TGCF) is a danmei series written by best-selling author Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, also known as MXTX. The series began serialization on jjwxc in 2017 and ran for 244 chapters (plus 8 extra chapters).
The original novel has spawned numerous adaptations, including a donghua, an unreleased live-action, an ongoing audio drama, and a manhua.

DanmeiNews provides the below summary from its catalogue:
Xie Lian is an impoverished god tasked by the heavens to investigate supernatural occurrences in the mortal world. During his missions, he makes the acquaintance of the powerful Ghost King Hua Cheng. He finds himself drawn to the dangerously charming man, who seems to know Xie Lian very, very well indeed.
The original Chinese webnovel for Heaven Official’s Blessing was picked up for English release in 2021 by Seven Seas Entertainment, and saw staggering success on sales charts; netting multiple New York Times Best Seller placements across its eight-volume run. In light of this achievement, Seven Seas announced in early 2024 that they would be re-releasing the series in deluxe hardcover format. Mo Xiang Tong Xiu has also written two other hit danmei series that are available in English: The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System (人渣反派自救系统) and Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (魔道祖师). Both series will also receive hardcover editions from Seven Seas.
