Jingyao Shen

Eden Astin, the Celestial Emperor, descends to the mortal world and falls in love with Rhea Holm, a mortal maiden. He is willing to risk everything, even perish, to be with her. She coldly asks for a divorce, and he returns to Heaven, heartbroken. Unbeknownst to him, she bears their child and suffers in silence so that he would not stay and perish. Years later, their daughter climbs a flight of treacherous stairs to pray to him—completely unaware that he is her father.
