The Mystery Mausoleum (2018)
诡墓迷灯 Adapted from the “A Tomb of the Tomb” of the A-class IP of the Iqiyi Literature Yunteng Plan, it tells the story of Qin Xiaofeng, Xu Mengying, Jiushu and other people exploring the Tianshan Dragon Cave.

The New God Erlang Shen (2023)
Erlang Shen (Chinese: 二郎神; pinyin: Èrláng Shén; Wade–Giles: Êrh-lang Shên; lit. 'Second-Lad God'), also known as Erlang of Guankou (灌口二郎; Guànkǒu Èrláng; Kuan-kʽou Êrh-lang) and the Lord of Sichuan (川主; Chuānzhǔ; Chʽuan-chu), is a Chinese god with a third truth-seeing eye in the middle of his forehead.
Erlang Shen may be a deified version of several semi-mythical folk heroes who helped regulate China's torrential floods dating variously from the Qin, Sui, and Jin dynasties. A later Buddhist source identifies him as the second son of the Northern Heavenly King Vaishravana.
In the Ming semi-mythical novels Creation of the Gods and Journey to the West, Erlang Shen is the nephew of the Jade Emperor. In the former, he assists the Zhou army in defeating the Shang. In the latter, he is the second son of a mortal and the Jade Emperor's sister Yaoji. In the legend, he is known as the greatest warrior god of heaven.
