Heaven Official’s Blessing S2 Unveils Ming Yi’s Male Form

Behold! Fans can feast their eyes on Heaven Official’s Blessing‘s Ming Yi’s male form.

Counting down to five days until the second season of the popular danmei donghua Heaven Official’s Blessing airs, the official Tian Guan Ci Fu social media account has dropped the character visual for Ming Yi. Fans have already met Ming Yi in Season 1, but in their female form, when they accompanied Shi Qingxuan, but this will be the first time they see Ming Yi in his male form.

Previously, Heaven Official’s Blessing revealed the character visual for Qi Rong, the Green Ghost who is also Xie Lian’s younger cousin. The first character visual they unveiled for the countdown was the Heavenly Emperor Jun Wu.

Based off the best-selling novel series written by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, Heaven Official’s Blessing received a donghua adaptation with Li Haoling as the director. The story follows a thrice-ascended god named Xie Lian who unravels the mysteries of his past from 800 years ago when he meets a red-robed man named Hua Cheng who has been waiting for Xie Lian for a long time.

Jiang Guangtao voiced Xie Lian in Season 1 with Ma Zhengyang voicing Hua Cheng, but Heaven Official’s Blessing has since revealed Jiang would not return for Season 2 due to “personal reasons.” Jiang was arrested for misappropriating approximately $2 million of public funds in late 2022, resulting in his studio Houlang Studio terminating their contract with him. Ding Youxi will voice Xie Lian in Season 2. Luhan performs the opening theme song “怜城辞,” with Tan Jing performing the ending theme song “归于尘.”

Heaven Official’s Blessing will return with Season 2 on Oct. 18 on Crunchyroll.
