During a lavish procession celebrating the Lantern Festival, 17-year-old Xie Lian played the role of a god punishing demons. In the midst of the ceremony, a small boy in rags fell from the high city wall. Without a second thought, Xie Lian interrupted the sacred ritual and caught the child. Consequences: This was a bad omen, foreshadowing the death of the state, but Xie Lian replied: “If this is wrong, then I will change fate.” Connection to Hua Cheng: This rescued child was Hong-er (the future Hua Cheng). This moment sparked his 800-year devotion to Xie Lian.

Xie Lian was a brilliant prince of Xianle, who ascended to heaven at the age of 17 with the motto, "The body is in torment, but the heart is in paradise." However, when war and epidemic broke out in his country, he descended to save his people. His good intentions turned into disaster: he failed to stop Xianle's demise and became the target of hatred from those he tried to protect. Broken by the betrayal and torture of Faceless Bai, Xie Lian nearly became a demon of vengeance, but at the last moment he chose the path of kindness. For his "mistakes," he was twice banished from Heaven, stripped of his fortune and magical powers. For 800 years, he wandered the world as an ordinary mortal, scavenging and enduring hardship, until he ascended for the third time, becoming the most "ridiculous" deity of the three worlds.
