About Elves in Changjiang River
The story follows Sui Yuan, a scholar traveling to Beijing to pursue his studies, who accidentally stumbles into the "mandarin duck hot pot" trap set by the carp demon Jiang Xiaoyu and falls in love with her. Centered around the Yangtze River, the story reinterprets hot pot culture and creates a bizarre and colorful world of demons.
Directed by Hu Tianqiyue, Elves in Changjiang River leans on a strong ensemble — Ariel Ann, Charles Lin, Li Chengxi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.

It is the responsibility of a six-man Evacuation Committee to relocate the townsfolk to higher ground.
