A Fallen Xian

About:

During the Republic of China era, the clever but deceitful con man Chen Mu Kun made a living by impersonating a Taoist priest. When one of his schemes went awry, he fled to the quiet town of Wuzufang. There, he continued his fraud under the name of the revered immortal Lu Dongbin, unknowingly drawing the attention of the real Lu Dongbin—known as Lu Zu—who descended to the mortal world to punish the imposter. However, a twist of fate leaves Lu Zu stripped of his divine powers, forcing him to remain in the human realm. Assuming the identity of Lei Shi, he chooses to guide Mu Kun toward redemption. As they navigate village life together, the unlikely duo unravel a series of bizarre local mysteries. Along the way, they become entangled with Bai Xuehua, a brothel courtesan with a complicated past, leading to unexpected emotional entanglements. Meanwhile, political tensions rise. Mayor Xin Hu steps down, and Mu Kun secretly thwarts local thug Jin Shihao from seizing power. The newly elected mayor, Xin Zhengyi, implements reforms to correct past injustices, plunging Wuzufang into a wave of upheaval that tests everyone's loyalty and beliefs.
