Summary:

Based on folklore stories, the film combines fantasy, humor, and love, and is full of freshness. It mainly tells the story of the Great God of the Big Dipper, “Tianpeng”, who was demoted to the lower world for violating the rules of heaven. The heavens bestowed it with a “merit book”, allowing it to travel around the world and read the stories of the common people.

Marshal Canopy (played by Wang Yukai) is brave and powerful, commanding an army of 800,000 sailors, wielding the “nine-toothed rake” and fighting the evil beast Qiongqi for three days and three nights. In the end, Qiongqi will be defeated and won a complete victory. The victory in this battle made Marshal Tianpeng act recklessly and lawlessly. He was drunk and knocked down the Jade Emperor’s Bullfighting Palace. Marshal Tianpeng fell into the mortal world under the pseudonym Bian Zhuang, practiced hard all the way, fell in love with Gao Cuilan (played by Meng Zhanyi), and settled a century-old grievance with Qiongqi. After a hundred years of grievances, he finally understood what love is, what righteousness is, and completed the story of self-salvation. In addition to the “happy friends” love between Tianpeng and Gao Cuilan, the relationship between Gao Bufan (played by Lin Fengye) and Myna (played by Zhao Lin) is also a highlight in the film.
