ynopsis

This show tells the modern lifestyle of the ancient Chinese gods.

The legendary lovers, Cowherd and Weaving Maiden have become love sick and unable to bear with the pain of seeing each other only once a year. In order to be together forever, they make a plan to escape to the mortal world, but get caught by the guards. The Queen Mother then decides to give them a test; they must reincarnate as new humans and see if fate can bring them together again. After that, the captain of the supreme soldiers holds a strike to dethrone the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother because of their inability to rule the heavens properly; then the Queen Mother and Erlangshen decide to use the fate of Cowherd and Weaving Maiden as a bet - shall they end up together then the two gods can stay on their thrones, but shall they separate then the two gods will be dethroned.

After that, many gods and immortals have fled to the mortal world for different reasons: some have been expelled from the heavens; some have become criminals and are on the run; and some have been sent down as agents to either bring Cowherd and Weaving Maiden together or to separate them.

Will Cowherd and Weaving Maiden end up together again or will they separate? It all now depends on fate...
