Fighter of the Destiny (Season 1)

Fighter of the Destiny (2017) is a Chinese fantasy drama you can watch online on iFILM, starring pop idol Lu Han alongside Gulnazar. The story follows Chen Changsheng, a teenage orphan raised in a mountain temple by a Taoist monk — and cursed with a terminal illness that gives him less than twenty years to live.

He leaves the temple for the capital with one thing to his name: a marriage scroll. The plan is to talk his way into the nation's most prestigious academy and find a cure before his time runs out. Rival factions, ancient demons and a girl named Xu Yourong make the road considerably more complicated.

Based on the novel Ze Tian Ji (择天记) by Mao Ni, the series runs 52 episodes and blends wuxia action with a slow-burn romance. Lu Han carries the lead role with more restraint than the genre usually demands, which is what makes the character's determination feel earned rather than performed.
