According to ancient texts, in the year that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ascended the throne, Zhang Kui went to Chang'an to take the imperial examination and was praised by the chief examiner as a "genius," ranking first among the tribute scholars. However, during the palace examination, the treacherous minister Lu Qi judged him by his appearance and repeatedly slandered him, causing him to fail to become the top scholar. In anger, Zhang Kui crashed his head against the palace pillar and died, shocking the court and the people. Emperor Xuanzong issued a decree honoring Zhang Kui as the "Great God of Exorcism," sending him across the land to "slay demons and drive away evil." The Jade Emperor, moved by Zhang Kui's fight for justice, conferred him as a deity, giving him the duty to manage the injustices of the mortal world and to rid it of demons. Thus, Zhang Kui, along with his sworn brothers Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu, began their thrilling and tear-jerking journey of justice. The story of "Zhang Kui, the Heavenly Master" mainly revolves around the legendary exploits of "Heavenly Master" Zhang Kui and his sworn brothers Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu as they vanquish demons, punish evildoers, and uphold justice in the mortal world. It is divided into six segments: "The Sin of Beauty," "The Wise Sword Questions Love," "The Weeping Green Snake," "The Blood-Red Mandarin Ducks," "The Mermaid's Deep Love," and "Zhang Kui Marries His Sister."
