Mr. Bad
On iQiyi
A light romantic fantasy-comedy about a writer and the fictional villain she accidentally summons, built on playful banter, enemies-to-lovers chemistry, and the comfort of a closed 24-episode arc.
A young girl, Nan Xing, who loves to write, accidentally summons the villain Xiao Wudi from the novel she wrote when she makes a wish. The clever and cunning Xiao Wudi, who just came to this world, threatened Nan Xing to allow him to stay in the apartment next to hers.
