Tianbao Fuyao Lu

After spending most of his life secluded on Mount Taihang, the half-yao Kong Hongjun is finally sent among humans. He carries three obligations into Chang'an: learn the truth about his father's death, stop the yao threatening the capital, and deliver the Heart Lamp to the Chen bloodline. The last task immediately goes wrong when the disgraced officer Li Jinglong accidentally takes the lamp into his own body.

Hongjun is soon recruited into Chang'an's Court of Exorcism, only to discover that Li Jinglong has become his captain. With several unusual companions, the pair confront supernatural threats hidden beneath the prosperous city while Hongjun searches for a way to reclaim the lamp. At the same time, he must investigate his family without letting a captain who despises yao discover that Hongjun is one himself.
