Li Qi and her aunt used to run a pawnshop together. But one day, her aunt suddenly vanished. A mysterious phone call led Li Qi to a mysterious agency.

There she met a mysterious woman, who seemed both demon and immortal. Sometimes she treated people with gentle courtesy; other times, a cruel smile played at her lips, sending chills down their spines.

Before she knew it, Li Qi had joined the agency. Together with a Taoist priest, a delinquent boy, and this crane demon woman, she traveled far and wide to unravel the mystery of the dark organization entangled with her aunt, as well as the wishes and schemes surrounding the crane demon woman.

There are fox spirits straight out of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio in village communities, a mysterious sunken mountain in the South China Sea, a lingering dream-eating tapir, and a realm of immortal cranes atop an icy mountain...

Along the way, Li Qi and the crane demon Xiu Wufeng become entangled in a dangerous love.

Li Qi thinks Xiu Wufeng is gentle and mature, untouched by worldly affairs and naturally imbued with an immortal aura. But later she discovers that she's sly and cruel, a true demon through and through.

Li Qi thinks Xiu Wufeng is mysterious and powerful, but when the poison takes effect, she's so frail that a single push will knock her down.

Li Qi blushes, thinking she's just being far too bold, but it turns out the crane demon has been carefully maneuvering, advancing by retreating.

So she complains:

“I like things more direct.”

Xiu Wufeng gives her a smile that says that's exactly what she wants, then says,

“As you wish.”

Xiu Wufeng, a crane demon with a gentle exterior but a twisted nature x Li Qi, straightforward and cheerful

Li Mumian, sensitive and cold-hearted x Luo Xinqing, sunny and energetic with a naturally scheming streak

An author transmigrates into an apocalyptic novel as a cannon-fodder female supporting character. She sees the heroine, who embodies all her ideals, and feels both moved and proud. But this time, she's been given the supporting character's role. Watching Luo Xinqing, the gorgeous heroine surrounded by admirers, Li Mumian, a fan who loves her like a mother, feels both proud and conflicted.

Luo Xinqing has been a god for over a decade, yet every time, she's unable to leave this utterly deranged world at the very end. She swears she'll find the Creator and kill her in the most brutal way possible.

Please note:

1. It is absolutely 1v1.

2. An apocalyptic story with a pretty powerful golden finger.

Theme: See the darkness, yet turn toward the light. Stand up for what's right and help those in need.
