Story

It follows the adventures of Pai, the last remaining Sanjiyan Unkara, and her new Wu (an immortal companion), Yakumo. They desperately try to find a way to make Pai human so that she can forget her troubled past, enjoy the benefits of being human, and Yakumo can once again become mortal and end his constant need to protect Pai (if Pai dies then so will he). Along the way in search of methods to make Pai human they encounter many followers of the now dead demon god Kaiyangwang who all wish to kill or siphon off Pai's power in order to resurect their diety and/or gain immortality.
