Story

After waking up as a puppy inside a Chinese fantasy novel, a young woman finds herself among a group of feared villains. She knows what fate awaits them, but has no idea they can hear her thoughts.

Noteworthy

Why Watch

  • A playful twist on transmigration: Being transported into a fantasy novel is familiar territory, but becoming a puppy in a sect of villains gives the premise a fresh spin.
  • A human mind in a puppy’s body: With expressive reactions and witty inner commentary, she unwittingly reveals how the original story unfolds.
  • A mind-reading twist: She knows how the original story unfolds, but has no idea the people in her sect can hear her thoughts. This leads to amusing interactions and even changes the course of the original story.
  • Soft-hearted villains: The heroine’s fearsome masters and fellow disciples have a surprisingly soft spot for their beloved puppy.
  • Eye-catching character designs: The characters are visually appealing, and the male lead resembles Taiwanese entertainer Aaron Yan.
