Detective Vs. Sleuths

During the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945), Imperial Japanese forces have taken charge of swathes of Chinese land. However, the would-be colonial powers are blighted by resistance fighters who have targetted trains carrying food, ammunition, and other supplies to the Japanese army. The fighters are a rag-tag group of railway workers and miners, and are led by the veteran Hong (Zhang Han Yu). Securing supplies for mountain-based guerilla combatants is a must in the resistance movement.

Hong’s operation operates out of a railway yard in Lincheng. But with the aid of the linguist and double agent Old Wang (Fan Wei) and the nurse Zhuang Yan (Zhou Ye), he starts making breakthroughs. This all sparks the ire of the Imperial Japanese, however, who dispatch a crack investigator to ensure that a huge stash of weapons reaches its intended target. Will Hong manage to intercept the cache’s passage through China – or will the fiendishly clever uncover the secret operation?

Xu Wen Chang (Luo Jin) is the permanently laid-back, calm, and generous manager of a Shanghai-based branch of a large real estate chain. The executives at the head office are dissatisfied with the poor sales conversions rate at the branch and suspect that Xu Wen Chang might be at fault. So they decide to take action by sending in Fang Si Jin (Sun Li) to solve the problems be becoming the branch’s co-manager. She is Xu Wen Chang’s polar opposite: an ice-cold, ruthless, ambitious, and results-driven manager.

While Xu Wen Chang always puts the needs of his staff first, and they adore him for this approach. These wildly different outlooks cause conflicts right from the outset, but surprisingly over time, they start to drift toward a shared vision – one that the whole branch starts to get behind. But as they start to spend more time together, these very contrasting managers start to wonder if they might also have romantic feelings for each other, despite their plethora of differences!

In a time of great unrest, many rely on the strength of the local constables to maintain some semblance of order. Among these men of honor is Wan Yi Zhang (Aarif Rahman), a rookie constable with much more enthusiasm than actual experience. Often hazed by his superiors, Yi Zhang has spent more time chasing imaginary villains than real ones, but when an actual demon begins wreaking havoc in the ancient city of Kaifeng, Yi Zhang is the first on the scene to investigate.

It’s during his hunt for the demon of Kaifeng that Yi Zhang meets a mysterious woman by the name of Metal Dragonfly (Ni Ni). A member of the mysterious Wuyin Clan, Dragonfly does her best to steer clear of Yi Zhang, but when fate intervenes, she has no choice but to introduce him to the rest of the clan. Joining the clan on their quest to find the Dunjia, an orb of infinite power which, in the wrong hands, has the potential to destroy worlds, Zi Zhang soon finds himself becoming an accidental hero.

Facing off against an ancient creature, hellbent on destroying the world, Zi Zhang and the supernaturally powerful members of the Wuyin Clan engage in a fight to the death. Will their combined strength be enough to bring down this monster or will the world fall to chaos and ruin?
