"Tian Guan Ci Fu" is based on a fantasy novel that was serialized online from 2017 to 2018. Set in a fictional ancient China, the story follows Xie Lian, a gifted young man who was twice banished from heaven. While diligently collecting junk in the mortal world and trying to make a new start as a priest, he meets a mysterious boy named San Lang. The knowledgeable and fearless Saburo's true identity turns out to be Huacheng, a demon feared as the king of the demon world and an enemy of the heavenly realm.
The anime has been available on bilibili since October 2020, and has garnered popularity, with a total of over 300 million views. The first season of the Japanese dubbed version aired from July to September 2021, and the second season aired from January to March 2024.
