Introduction

Beitou, Taipei is a sulfurous land named after the Pingpu word for "witch" (pataauw). There, the perpetual mist and clouds hide various unknown histories. Our story begins with eight women from a sorceror clan who are hunted by a classified military unit known as "White Company." To carry on with their successful careers and glamourous urban lifestyles, they must evade their enemy and find the traitor among them. When the Witch of Plants is assassinated, the women begin to suspect that someone has revealed their identities, but the mutual suspicion only leads each of them to danger. On the other side of town, we are introduced to the White Company, a top secret group of buffed male assassins who have been trained to hunt witches. The situation develops unpredictably when, on a mission, the main assassin spends too much time with the Witch of Tragedy and begins to have feelings for her.
