What An Archmage in the City is about
Alan White, a reclusive Archmage one step from Grand Magus, descends from the Misty Mountains to fulfill his master Merlin's last wish: marry Sophie Black, heiress of the Black family. Arriving in Los Angeles, he rescues Sophie from an Anderson family ambush. They spend a night together—she leaves him money and walks away. The next day, Alan arrives at her door with the marriage contract. Both identities are exposed.
An Archmage in the City is a 53-episode vertical short drama from ReelShort, built around billionaire, marriage drama and contract relationship.
Is it worth watching?
The draw here is the hidden-wealth reveals and the people who misjudged the lead. On top of that: a marriage that starts on the wrong foot and has to be earned.
At roughly 1–2 hours in total, it's quicker to finish than most full-length series.
On ReelShort it has 1.2M views, so plenty of people have already watched it.
