The topic of this work is highly topical - it reconstructs classic figures in history and mythology into a sadomasochistic love triangle of "two men and one fox", which naturally has a sense of curiosity, taboo and subversion. In order to avoid the story becoming cliche, the characters are given a modern core and the "anti-traditional tension" that strengthens the emotional conflict.
Such as subverting the character:
1. Daji: From "the evil concubine who brings disaster to the country" to "the sober prisoner"
•Core setting: The nine-tailed fox clan is cursed by heaven and must rely on the emperor on earth to absorb their luck in order to survive. Daji was a "worker" who was forced to be bound to King Zhou. She hated the tyranny in her heart but could not escape.
•Modern mapping: PUA in the workplace and workers in system dilemma.
2. King Zhou: the "sober and perverted man" under the mask of a tyrant
•Core setting: He knew that Daji was a fox demon, but he deliberately allowed him to bring trouble to the imperial court - he actually had no choice but to do so.
•Modern reflection: self-destructive tendencies under the trauma of the original family, mocking the rules of power.
3. King Wu: The dual identities of god-slayer and accomplice
•Core setting: When he was young, he had a relationship with Daji, who was practicing in the mountains and forests. The real purpose of defeating Zhou was to rescue her from being dually controlled by Heaven and King Zhou.
•Modern mapping: the blackening of idealists and paranoia in the name of love.
