Research note: The creator identifies this as an original AI work. The guide starts with the first season. The exact title did not appear in the Hongguo search checked; this does not establish that it is absent from the whole service. Creator-published Douyin and YouTube links are used instead. Episode totals and a source novel are not confirmed.

Image notes: The portrait cover is a simplified edit of the creator’s Douyin promotional poster: advertising copy, platform logos and QR code removed with AI assistance; the drama title and creator credit retained. It is not a video frame. The landscape episode cover comes from the creator’s YouTube upload.
