The blockbuster danmei/Boys' Love novels from China that inspired the animated series! This epic historical fantasy about a prince and the mysterious man by his side is now in English, for the very first time. Born the crown prince of a prosperous kingdom, Xie Lian was renowned for his beauty, strength, and purity. His years of dedicated study and noble deeds allowed him to ascend to godhood. But those who rise may also fall, and fall he does--cast from the heavens and banished to the world below. Eight hundred years after his mortal life, Xie Lian has ascended to godhood for the third time, angering most of the gods in the process. To repay his debts, he is sent to the Mortal Realm to hunt down violent ghosts and troublemaking spirits who prey on the living. Along his travels, he meets the fascinating and brilliant San Lang, a young man with whom he feels an instant connection. Yet San Lang is clearly more than he appears... What mysteries lie behind that carefree smile? This Chinese xianxia fantasy novel series built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) is the newest work from author Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, and has spawned an ongoing multimedia franchise that's beloved across the world--including the animated series (donghua) that amassed 100+ million views in just its first month. The Seven Seas English-language edition will include covers from 日出的小太陽 (tai3_3), and exclusive, all-new interior illustrations from ZeldaCW. Review: My favorite series, and love story, of all time - Like a lot of people here, I read the entirety of this series in an unofficial translation, and am elated to see that it's getting an English-language release. In short, all I can say is this: read it. It's been a year since I read it and I still can't get it out of my head - I reread my favorite parts of it all the time, and every single reread has me discovering something new. It's quite literally become my favorite book (and I've read a lot of books!) The love story in this book is absolutely stunning. One of the biggest strengths of the book is the slow-burn aspect; when it starts, it gives you a certain impression - I remember thinking, I get it, it's going to be this-and-that kind of love story - but things are slowly revealed that give the relationship incredible depth, making me feel so much for the relationship in a way that I really haven't found in any other novel. This is really the kind of series that's even better on re-reads, because you can see just how much the author thought through her choices before getting to the reveals, and certain scenes become so much more haunting or heart-wrenching! And wow, the reveals - I definitely recommend going in blind, because some of the reveals knocked me off my chair, and none of them just come out of nowhere. Another huge strength of this series is the side characters. I'm usually the kind of person that focuses on main characters and tolerates the rest, but every single side character in this has their place, their backstory, and their motivations, which are just as engaging as those of the leading couple (though they don't take away any thunder from the main two! In fact, they add a lot of parallels.) Some people might feel intimidated by the cultural barrier, since we seldom get translations from Chinese to English, but I don't think this should hold you back. There's nothing complicated, all the mythology of the book is weaved simply throughout the text, and the little pieces that aren't can be easily read in the incredible glossary and character guides that the publisher has included in the back. These guides aren't necessary, however; really, anyone can just jump in and start reading from chapter one. The language of the translation is also perfect and leads the reader right in with no problems; it illustrates things perfectly in English, while still letting the reader feel some of the unique rhythms of the original Chinese language version. This series was actually what inspired me to start learning Mandarin (though readers of this edition certainly shouldn't worry about that!) This book specifically consists of the first two arcs of the series. I was already hooked by the end of this book and I think it's an /excellent/ introduction, and on re-read it reaches the level of fantastic; for those curious, though, the next books are even better - so if all the reviews are confusing because it doesn't seem like much happened in the series yet, just wait! There are seven more books coming, and my personal favorite scenes are yet to come. And I still haven't even talked about the stunning art, which you can see in both the kindle and paperback editions!!! In short - even if this isn't the kind of thing you usually read or you don't usually read novels at all, even if you're unsure about understanding the Chinese elements of the story, even if you aren't sure you understand the point of the premise - I can't recommend this series enough. It's extremely popular for a reason, and you won't regret it!!!! Review: A beloved saga that transcends typical fantasy in scope and depth - and my favorite book! - There are NO spoilers in this review. This review is mainly for those who are unfamiliar with the Chinese fantasy (xianxia) or BL (danmei) genres, like I was before discovering this story. If you stumbled across this book because it's bestselling, but think you'll probably pass because these genres aren't "your thing," I encourage you to reconsider. It is a saga that goes deeper the further you read. It is huge in Asia and very popular globally and is widely considered to be the best of its genre, and there's a reason for that! The story, characters, setting, and visuals (in the adaptations) are all fantastic. This review is about the entire novel and not just this first volume. Science fiction/fantasy is my favorite genre, but second is classic literature, and this book reminds me of many of the classics I’ve read. I expected adventure, mystery, romance, and humor, and there is plenty of all of that. What I didn't expect was ethics, philosophy, and intense drama. This has edged past my other favorite book, The Count of Monte Cristo—yes, I love epic adventure/dramas! Men can probably enjoy it too because there is so much else going on and it's not primarily romance. My only rather ironic complaint with the book is with the English phrasing, especially in the beginning of it, which I explain below, and which apparently has a lot (or all) to do with the translation. Also, most of what I've seen people criticize about the book is no longer present in the author's final revision of it, which is NOT what this version is; it was completed after this version was published (more on that below too). Many literary devices are masterfully used throughout: symbolism, parallels, foils, character studies and more. And there are many deep themes. One major theme is that we have intrinsic value beyond our circumstances or the actions we may have chosen to take at various times. "To me, the one basking in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is you, not the state of you." This quote, to me, illustrates not only the beautiful writing the novel contains, but the depth of its themes, and its powerful messages. Another major recurring theme is that "just one person is enough.” People have shared how this story helped them through some very dark moments in their lives. This is far beyond what typical fantasy would do. The book is both moving and gripping. As I got further in, I really got pulled into the story and it was hard to focus on the rest of my life. This is apparently a common reaction to this saga. While reading, I didn't do anything but work and the most necessary chores and family activities. I don't do well without enough sleep but I still stayed up too late several times. And even while doing other things (like an all-day D&D session) my mind kept wandering back to the book. I felt like I was between worlds. I've never sobbed while reading a book before, but I did with one scene in this. And when I finished, I felt hollow and bereft, and at a loss of what to do next, wishing the story could just go on. This is also apparently common. None of that has happened to me with a book in a very long time. I try to fill the holes with related art, videos, fanfics, and fan groups; and of course re-reading this, as well as the author Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (MXTX)'s other two books, and more danmei in general. The extra chapters set after the book's end helped to ease the sting as well. All these things are what remind me of literary classics, and in fact I would not be surprised if it stands the test of time to become exactly that--with the caveat that I am comparing it to Western classics, since unfortunately I have not yet read any Chinese classics, though I will now. However, Chinese friends tell me that their classics also mostly started out as popular fiction. There is also a Chinese and xianxia guide in the back. If you're new to the genre, be sure to read this guide, because it will be much clearer that way. THE PLOT The original web novel is five books. This English Volume 1 covers just the first half of the web novel's Book 1, and it stays pretty lighthearted. The novel starts out slowly and then steadily increases in pace, so if you find you’re not hooked on the story early on, try to keep reading past this first volume. The adventurous parts are greatly enjoyable and a fun ride. The dramatic parts (which are mostly in the web novel's Books 2 and 4, describing Xie Lian's past) are extremely intense, to the point that many recommend it's better to take some breaks here and there while reading them. But like all good drama, it lends a great deal of depth that brings the whole story to a different level. (The 17+ label is because of these parts.) The entire story is not just "from one adventure to the next," as it seems at first, but is all shown to be closely related at the end, like zooming out from one part of a weaving to see the entire tapestry. This surprised and impressed me as well. This is my favorite summary of the whole story, by a fan: "The story is about Xie Lian's journey, and how he learned to love himself again, through the effort of a man who never had loved himself." Xie Lian and Hua Cheng's relationship and romance is a very organic slow build, and it's not at either extreme of being the full focus or just jammed in awkwardly, but it is still at the very clear heart of the story. There have only been a few romances I've encountered that are built on something much deeper than normal, and this is one of them; it can be called epic without exaggeration, and most romance stories now seem shallow by comparison. It's hard to imagine this kind of relationship being able to occur outside of this fantasy setting, which is probably why it can go to such a different level. It is sweet and healthy, with no toxic elements and very high mutual respect, and just highly endearing. (Though there is one aspect that would be creepy outside its narrative.) Some problematic tropes are inverted; for example the influence of "sex pollen" is rejected, age boundaries are maintained, and magically-induced dubcon (just of kissing) is halted. It apparently doesn't follow some of the usual BL ("boys love") tropes which cater to a heterosexual audience, and is more realistic in its portrayal of a same-sex relationship, which is great if true. While there are steamy parts, it is not explicit, unlike MXTX's other two books, likely because its web novel platform had gotten stricter with censorship. The supporting characters are given a lot of focus as well, with a lot of time spent on their past and present stories, which Xie Lian ends up being quite involved/entangled in; they are actually what drives the present-day plot in addition to Xie Lian's own journey. These characters are nuanced; there is bad in the "good" ones and good in the "bad," as well as growth and change in them as the story progresses. And they are all really well fleshed out characters who have their own strong fanbases among readers. THE WRITING/TRANSLATION & REVISED VERSION I feel there are problems with the writing style, especially in the first third of the entire novel. According to Chinese-speaking fans, these issues are in the translation--which I now know myself after having read a translation by someone else of the revised version. Try to stick it out because it gets better, and the story itself is well worth it. In these early parts, the phrasing is clunky and often stiff and simplistic. Sometimes it flows more naturally and is crisp, engaging and more appropriately formal, but this isn't consistent. And throughout the book, the characters speak very informally with a lot of modern slang, which can be jarring to some. Another issue with this official translation is that according to Chinese speakers, there are some wording changes that seem to have been made by English editor(s) who did not double check that their edits don't differ from the Chinese. The fan translation done by the same translator as the official is closer to the Chinese in these instances. It is quite frustrating that the official translation is not faithful to the Chinese in these ways. There are danmei fans who have learned Chinese to be able to read the original novels, and this type of issue is one of the reasons. MXTX released her final version of this novel in early 2023, which she’d been working on for years. It has a lot of polishing, some plot revisions, and 100,000 new words (but is still shorter than the previous version due to the overall editing). There are no significant changes in the main storyline, just in three arcs that are about side characters. There is also new content focused on the main characters. Seven Seas was told that the revision wasn't guaranteed to happen and they should go ahead with the version that they had been sent, which is why this publication is of the previous version. My third reading was of the final revised version, which I read on the Chinese webnovel platform JJWXC using the Smooth Reader extension. The translation there doesn’t have the issues I describe above. I was very happy with the revised version and prefer it overall, except for a few minor things—which is inevitable with changes to an existing beloved work. It is much tighter in pace, as many unnecessary phrases and sections were cut out. And there are many other improvements, including to some of the characters. ADAPTATIONS There are also adaptations of the book, including an animated series (donghua), comic (manhua), audio drama, and a completed but not yet released live action TV series (C-drama). For comprehensive and up-to-date information about all the adaptations and the final version, you can look at the FAQ/wiki page of the "tianguancifu" subreddit. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #15,753 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #39 in Teen & Young Adult Light Novels #59 in Asian Myth & Legend #224 in Historical Fantasy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 10,130 Reviews | ## Images ![Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91XkwAUMy8L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite series, and love story, of all time *by H***Y on December 17, 2021* Like a lot of people here, I read the entirety of this series in an unofficial translation, and am elated to see that it's getting an English-language release.

The main character, Xie Lian, is great at thinking outside the box and doesn't settle for thinking what other people expect him to think or doing what they expect him to do. The first time I read this novel, he kept surprising me with his creative ideas. He's also thoughtful and humble and makes a point of respecting others' boundaries; he'd be a very likable person to meet in real life. San Lang is also a delightful, charming, funny, and enigmatic character. His growing friendship with Xie Lian is as sweet and hilarious and loud as their characters are. The story is full of action, suspense, mystery, and humor. It's hard to stop reading. The characters' appearances are described in vivid (but highly-readable) detail. Even before looking at the illustrations, you can already see them in your mind's eye. But the illustrations! They're delightful! Sprinkled throughout the text, they bring out the feeling of the moment (sweet, curious, anxious, etc). The expressions of the characters strongly evoke their personalities and moods. The English translation flows naturally in idiomatic English. It's clean, consistent, and polished. (My Chinese isn't good enough to comment on the accuracy overall, but the few simple sentences I compared out of curiosity seemed right on.) The appendices at the end are useful for understanding key terms. One funny thing about them is that the pronunciation guide mentions that Chinese is a tonal language and that tones are key to pronouncing things correctly, but none of the pinyin has tone markings. (I guess it's pretty typical to write pinyin without tone markings in English text.) https://docs.google.com/document/d/19G05-ftJZWOt4-UQ18V9B8wGdjcZryrldiu4ir5xK7s/edit is a helpful pronunciation guide that includes tones and doesn't include any extra spoilery information about the characters. The Kindle edition is good quality. One quirk is that there are two tables of contents in the kindle edition, one kindle-style with links to the chapters, and the other stylized looking like a print version with an illustrated background and fancy font. When I use the kindle feature to "go to" the table of contents, it goes to the stylized one. The table of contents with links is immediately after the cover, so to navigate to it, you can "go to" the cover and then turn the page. The stylized table of contents provides extra context by explaining which webnovel chapters correspond to each book chapter. Many of the webnovel chapters have names like "xyz event 1", "xyz event 2", etc, and as far as I can tell, the book version simply groups together the chapters that have the same name ("xyz event"). I'm very much looking forward to reading the rest of the official translation as it comes out. ## Frequently Bought Together - Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 1 - Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 2 - Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/345005856-heaven-officials-blessing-tian-guan-ci-fu-novel-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/345005856-heaven-officials-blessing-tian-guan-ci-fu-novel-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
