The Embers

When a failing martial arts sect is left in the hands of an unlikely leader, Jun Changxiao, he must rally a group of outcasts and oddballs to turn things around. With a sharp-tongued warrior, a laid-back rich kid, a washed-up prodigy, and more by his side, they blend ancient cultivation with modern business savvy. Through hilarious mishaps and hard-won victories, this band of misfits fights to transform their broken sect into the strongest force in the land.

After a Qing-dynasty gold crown vanishes from a stone coffin, obsessed detective Yang Lianian and his irreverent rookie partner Liu Peanut uncover a chilling ritual: the crown adorns an "amber-encased female corpse" bearing a lotus sketch, exposing a hidden cult exploiting modern emotional vulnerabilities through layered superstition schemes.
