Jiang Xiaobei, an orphan raised on the kindness of the villagers in Taoyuan Village, faced an unexpected turn of fate when the village’s Light-Breaking Master suddenly died of a sudden illness. Handpicked by the village chief, Jiang Xiaobei was appointed as the new Light-Breaking Master in this time of crisis. His first task as the successor was to perform the ""light-breaking"" ritual for Liu Qingqing, his childhood sweetheart. Overwhelmed with nervousness during his first attempt, Jiang Xiaobei failed to complete the ritual successfully. Tragedy struck soon after: on Liu Qingqing’s wedding day, her husband suddenly died. Enraged by the misfortune, the villagers demanded that Jiang Xiaobei and Liu Qingqing be burned alive as punishment. At the critical moment, with death looming overhead, Jiang Xiaobei suddenly awakened his divine power, finally becoming a true Light-Breaking Master.
