Fangs of Fortune tells the story of a kingdom that must be overrun by demons following the death of its ruling goddess and a team of demon hunters brought together by a demon to restore order.
During the Zhenyuan Era, the accidental death of the goddess Bai Ze, who ruled both the human and demonic realms, leads to chaos as demonic beasts run rampant. Disguised as Zhao Yuanzhou, demon leader Zhu Yan offers to form a demon hunting bureau to help restore order.
Wen Xiao, suspicious of Zhao Yuanzhou, joins the office along with her childhood friend Zhuo Yichen, the skilled archer Pei Sijing, and the talented but shy doctor Bai Jiu. Together, they face the creatures of “The Classic of Mountains and Sea” and discover the darkest truths behind the chaos.

I looked #FortuneFangs and I’m simply in love with it. It’s tragic, though surprisingly funny, and while there’s no way it will have a happy ending, it will definitely be worth it!

I watched the first 11 episodes of #FortuneFangs AND LOVED IT. I started watching it because the trailer looked great, but the humor, cinematography, and acting are top notch. Not to mention, I love that in addition to romance, they emphasized friendships and found familial bonding.pic.twitter.com/Or5blS0bWp
