The official manhua (comic) adaptation of the New York Times bestselling danmei novel by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. Featuring stunning art by STARember, the webcomic produced by BILIBILI COMICS is now available in English print for the first time.
Four Tales and Four Calamities.
As the heavenly court wraps up its investigation of Xuan Ji, the Ghost Bride, Xie Lian starts a search for the bandaged boy bearing the scars of the plague that destroyed his kingdom eight hundred years ago. But with the trail gone cold, he’s forced to turn his attention to more pressing matters: He’s a god without a temple or worshipers, and he seems to have caught the attention of a powerful ghost king who is one of the infamous Four Calamities.
When Xie Lian returns to the Mortal Realm to establish a shrine, he meets a red-clad young man with strange knowledge of all the gods and ghosts—including Xie Lian himself, the long-forgotten Crown Prince Who Pleased the Gods.
Volume 2 includes episodes 15–27 of the original webcomic based on the webnovel Tian Guan Ci Fu published on JJWXC.

Heaven Official’s Blessing
天官赐福
[Synopsis Provided by Seven Seas Entertainment:]
Born the crown prince of a prosperous kingdom, Xie Lian was renowned for his beauty, strength, and purity. His years of dedication and noble deeds allowed him to ascend to godhood. But those who rise, can also fall…and fall he does, cast from the Heavens again and again and banished to the mortal realm.
Eight hundred years after his mortal life, Xie Lian has ascended to godhood for the third time. Now only a lowly scrap collector, he is dispatched to wander the earthly realm to take on tasks appointed by the heavens to pay back debts and maintain his divinity. Aided by old friends and foes alike, and graced with the company of a mysterious young man with whom he feels an instant connection, Xie Lian must confront the horrors of his past in order to dispel the curse of his present.
