Xu Qi'an wakes up in prison with no memory of what he did to end up there, and enough intelligence to realize that the worst outcome is not being executed — it's being executed before he figures out who framed him and why. He is a watchman in the Dafeng dynasty's equivalent of a detective bureau, navigating a world where Confucian officials, Buddhist monks, Daoist cultivators, and court politicians are all playing different games, and the body he tripped over at the beginning was connected to something far larger than a murder. Dylan Wang plays the role with effortless charisma, and Guardians of Dafeng earns its comedy through character rather than situation — Xu Qi'an is funny because he's genuinely smart, which makes his predicaments funnier and his victories more satisfying.
