Haoyue Shenjun is a deity from a high-level world in the universe (the Realm of Light), who vowed to descend with the King of Light to save sentient beings. However, during the Tang Dynasty, when reincarnated into the human world, he formed a karmic feud with the King of Light. In this life, he is reincarnated in mainland China as Zhao Haifeng. Together with Song Guangming and Bai Feng, he experiences the events of the June 4th Tiananmen Square incident. He studies Marxist philosophy. The harsh social reality transforms him from an idealistic youth into a person who seeks personal gain, is opportunistic, and knows how to maneuver for his own benefit. Zhao Haifeng harbors resentment towards Song Guangming out of jealousy.
