A world where 3 Gods rules, deities relying on humans' faith to live or cease to exist, and where coexistence with what we call mythical creatures is possible. A world where we might think is quite different from the world that we know but not at all, it is the same world our current humanity exists in.
Levin, the death goddess, went on a quest to find the answer to her Divine Father's enigma in which she met a skeptical human, Sa Hansol, who turns out to hate the Gods and blames them for his miserable life.
When an arrogant, conceited, Death Goddess, who has deep grudge against humans, and a distant, misfortunate, Human, who has a profound hatred against Gods, meet, would the vague riddle be answered?
"What death does not know, death will aim;
What death does not have, death will gain;
In the search Death shall obtain
Both a treasure and a pain
Once solved and figured out it will show,
The most powerful one of all"

Following the fall of the Chinese empire, the gods ascended into the heavens, and the Dragon Throne, which had served as the tie between the mortal and immortal worlds, sat empty for many decades. The world was far from perfect, but life continued on without the gods. The mythical Jade City-the last refuge for those seeking to practice the old traditions-came to accept that age of the empire and of the gods was over. That is, until Heaven chose the unlikeliest of children as the Heirs to the throne.
To save China from an ancient evil so terrible, it almost conquered Heaven, the Heirs must restore the throne and restore the gods. But can they accomplish this task, while simultaneously battling each other for the right to rule that is the Mandate of Heaven?
Four have been marked by Heaven, but only one can be emperor.
