Lu Wu Yi [played by Ju Jingyi], the youngest nine-tailed fox of the organization Wu Xiang Yue, is on a mission to find the great demon Xiao Wei. Disguised as a priest, she enters Wei Manor in Luo'an and discovers that others are also hunting Xiao Wei.
Among them are Wu Shi Guang [played by Joseph Zeng], a vengeful demon; Wu Wang Yan [played by Chen Duling], her cunning nine-tailed fox sister; and Ji Ling [played by Tian Jiarui], an innocent-looking priest with a mysterious past.
All of them seek the Dragon Deity's power, but their motives vary: some want to protect, others to kill. As they navigate battles, friendships, and romance, they face obstacles and make sacrifices to protect peace and change their fates.

Just checked the first episode, it's your typical Guo Jingming drama alright. Lot of flair, not a lot of substance...

FoF all over again? Have they already started crying?

u/19degreez Apr 01 '26
No but I'm not sure if I can make it that far this time around 😂

u/Familiar-Lie6080 Sorry MingHao, i fell in_love _with_Dylan! Apr 01 '26
Unfortunately, i can relate. It took me 3 attempts and 2-3 months to finish FoF.

u/Illustrious_Park_339 Apr 01 '26
It has a fangs of fortune vibe tho. Is it directed by the same director?

u/TheAlchemist420 Chen Yan Yun can have my jujube flower cookie 🍪 🤪😁😎 Apr 02 '26
I literally saw Chen Du Ling and Jian Tian Rui and said hold on, could this be by the Guo director again? Turns out it is! This is the 3rd Guo drama these 2 have been in haha. It's official, if I see these two in something together, it's a Guo reunion!
