Though the novel depicts their relationship as romantic in nature, the web series depicts the relationship as a platonic friendship with homoerotic subtext in response to Chinese laws prohibiting depictions of same-sex relationships on television. The series follows Zhao Yunlan (Bai) and Shen Wei (Zhu), a detective and a professor who investigate supernatural phenomena. An adaptation of the 2012 fantasy- danmei web novel of the same name by Priest, the series was released on the video platform Youku between June 13 and July 25, 2018.
