Fangs of Fortune

大梦归离

China · 2024 · 34 episodes

Sarcastic Warning: Contains Maximum Tropes. It's the classic drama bingo! Our heroine somehow ends up joining a demon-hunting squad, complete with a mysterious, suspiciously handsome demon lead, because apparently, humanity just can't handle a little chaos without a supernatural CEO stepping in. This show promises epic battles, emotional angst, and probably a love triangle that will make you roll your eyes straight into next week.
