Guardians of the Dafeng

A New Benchmark for IP Adaptation
Based on a masterpiece with three million collections from Qidian Chinese Network, the series combines elements of time travel, suspense, workplace dynamics, and fantasy. The plot centers on modern worker Yang Ling (played by Wang Hedi), who travels back in time to become Xu Qi'an, a grassroots civil servant in the Dafeng Dynasty. He uses his chemistry knowledge to solve the "Silver Vault Theft Case" and employs psychological insights to crack the "Palace Witchcraft Case," even creating the "Dafeng Civil Servant Training Manual" to address corruption in the bureaucracy.
