The series
A secret heir. An unlikely protector.
Yin Law has no idea she is the rightful heir to the powerful Sute-go ninja clan. When her stepbrother orders her execution, her unlikely rescuer is Nero, an apparently unremarkable office janitor hiding a dangerous secret.
As a covert war threatens to consume her family, Nero must protect and train Yin to become the fighter she never knew she was destined to be.

The format
A different approach to short-form entertainment.
Microdrama isn't simply conventional television presented vertically. Its narrative structure, viewing habits and digital distribution environment create a different relationship between stories and audiences.
The format offers new opportunities for producers to develop and distribute entertainment outside traditional commissioning models, with audience discovery and engagement becoming central considerations.
For Orange Chariot, the project is an opportunity to collaborate across production, creative development, action design and digital distribution, bringing specialist capabilities together around a commercially focused genre property.
