In a world parallel, but separate from our own a small percentage of people called “Fiends” have skills and powers normal humans do not possess. An autonomous organization, the Deviant Control Office, keeps these special abilities in check. Though some wish to maintain this order and peace, some wish to take advantage of their abilities and obtain more power in this world.

Based on the web novel of the same name, this supernatural drama from China aired from 7 Oct 2021 – 16 Dec 2021 and is labeled as a BL – which was one of the main reasons why I decided to check it out.

While it’s a bit more computer-animated than I prefer my anime series to be, it’s still beautifully done. Xuan, Ji is the red-headed hero with eyes and wings of fire. He’s cool and (overly) confident – like that high school jock who doesn’t care who shows him attention, so long as he gets the attention.

Sheng, Lingyuan, also called the Human Emperor perished a thousand years ago. Awoken during modern times, everything is new and strange for this truly powerful individual. But even with all the magic resting inside of him, he needs the cocksure Xuan, Ji.

Having just finished episode 6 I am excited to see where this series goes.
