A mysterious stone once fell down into the Xuan Realm from outside the world which was then obtained by Ji Fuling and Yu Xuan Yue. One day, their blood accidentally fell onto the stone and Ling Xiao was born from the stone. No for real, spy thrillers set in the Republic of China era are a staple in c-dramas, and here Miss Chloe is, finally bringing it to Western YA! The era is famous for the amount of spying and information warfare that went on as the Nationalists (of the Kuomintang, technically the legitimate government of China), communists (persecuted and fighting to stay alive against the Kuomintang), and imperialists (slowly encroaching on China on behalf of Imperial Japan) vied for dominance over a fractured China. NO ONE's true loyalties were certain as the factions planted spies in each other's ranks--you had double agents, triple agents, quadruple agents. Families split along political lines as each member followed their own vision of China's future. Add Captain-America-esque super serums and fake marriage into the mix, and you have Foul Lady Fortune, a mystery that will certainly leave you shook as it unravels layer by sinister layer.

I mean, the titular city of nightmares is literally called NEWHAM. But I'd say Newham is even worse than Gotham because it's in a world where people have a chance of physically and permanently transforming into their worst nightmare when they sleep--unless they take drugs to stop themselves from dreaming. But the drugs are nullified by alcohol, so Prohibition is in place and the world very much has the vibes of that 1920s era, though with more POC and queer characters living their best lives in waistcoats and dress pants. As good of lives as they can make in a world of living nightmares, anyway. This is a society that's terrible to a hilarious degree. The mayor openly keeps a nightmare-pterodactyl as a pet to unleash on her political opponents. Bribery is mandatory if you want to get anything done. Mail can be expected to get stolen if you don't deliver it yourself or with your own employees. Every time you go out you gotta worry about some kind of monstrous creature showing up to gobble you up.
