Okay, here is an English summary for the movie "Smiling Kingdom" (微光王国), which is based on the web novel by Tang Xiaosan (唐浩森):
Smiling Kingdom (微光王国) Plot Summary
In the world of Liuyun Pass (流云关), a powerful immortal named Zhang Fei (张飞) resides. However, he is not your typical celestial being; he is a hedonistic and somewhat incompetent immortal known for his love of wine, women, and song, often causing chaos in the heavens.
Zhang Fei finds himself demoted and sent to manage the Smiling Kingdom, a seemingly insignificant and poor region located in the mortal realm, far from the heavens. Initially, he is dismissive of his new post, seeing it as a boring and insignificant task compared to the grandeur of the heavens.
Upon arriving, however, Zhang Fei is immediately overwhelmed by the region's extreme poverty and suffering. The people are starving, plagued by disease, and live in constant fear. The local celestial official, Zhao Yun (赵云), is overwhelmed and struggles to cope.
Determined to improve the situation, Zhang Fei, despite his initial reluctance and immortality, starts taking his duties seriously. He uses his unique immortal abilities in unconventional ways to help the people. He might use his strength to clear paths, his immortality to heal the sick (though his methods might be unorthodox), or even his reputation in the heavens to negotiate for resources.
Throughout his journey, Zhang Fei encounters various characters, including resilient villagers, other celestial beings assigned to the mortal realm, and perhaps even a love interest. He learns valuable lessons about hardship, compassion, and the true meaning of leadership.
The story often blends elements of xianxia (immortal cultivation), humor, and drama, following Zhang Fei's transformation from a carefree, chaotic immortal into a responsible, albeit still somewhat unconventional, guardian of the Smiling Kingdom. He learns that true power and worth lie not in ruling from afar, but in being present and making a difference, even in the smallest of places.
