🐉 Synopsis
Set during the Zhenyuan era, Fangs of Fortune tells a sweeping tale where humans and demons share a fragile coexistence — until the accidental death of Bai Ze, the goddess who maintained balance, throws everything into chaos. With the Bai Ze Order missing, demonic beasts begin to terrorize the human world, leaving bloody destruction in their wake.
At the heart of the story is Zhao Yuanzhou, secretly the all-powerful demon leader Zhu Yan, who chooses to disguise himself and surrender to the imperial court. His aim? To create a demon-hunting bureau that can control the crisis.
But trust is a rare currency. The sharp-witted and wary Wen Xiao, along with her childhood friend Zhuo Yichen — an expert detective and swordsman — joins the bureau. Alongside them are:
- Pei Sijing: A cold, disciplined archer with a shadowy past in the military.
- Bai Jiu: A timid yet brilliant young doctor.
As they face one demon after another, drawn from the legendary Classic of Mountains and Seas, friendships and alliances are tested. Meanwhile, the romantic tension between Zhu Yan and Wen Xiao builds under the weight of secrecy and destiny.
In a world where “demons capture demons” and hidden truths decide the fate of three realms, who can truly be trusted?
