CHARACTER RELATIONSHIP OVERVIEW

The story centers on three key figures: King Zhou, Daji, and Nüwa. Together, they form a core dynamic shaped by fate, corruption, and rebellion.

Nüwa issues a divine command, sending Daji into the Shang court to seduce and manipulate King Zhou, guiding him toward his own downfall. She does not strike directly—destiny does the work for her.

Daji, a nine-tailed fox in human form, becomes the instrument of this mission. As she infiltrates the palace, she begins to waver, torn between obedience to the goddess and the desire to choose her own path.

King Zhou, blinded by pride and marked for heaven’s punishment, refuses to yield. He resists the will of the gods and pushes back against Daji’s influence, spiraling toward destruction through his own rage and defiance.

The three are bound yet divided—their tensions drive the collapse of a dynasty and determine the course of fate.
