Chen Feiyu is breathtaking as Sima Jiao. He looks hot, domineering, mad and regal. His voice is so manly and sexy that it only adds plus point to the portrayal of SJ❤️🔥

The male lead's acting and the female lead's character caught me off guard. What a unique and refreshing story, definitely different from many I watched.

Episode 1 served me Darth Vader ML, duck-walk FL, and background music that belongs in a bargain-bin 70s flick. The CGI was bad, the dialogue worse, and the “romantic” slow-mo was paired with blood splatter. My friends may be enjoying this chaos, but for me it’s pure train wreck energy — enough to drop it right here at episode 1.

Sima Jiao and LTY's characters can be very boring. Luckily, the production team chose the right actor to play the role. CF can give the essence that SJ is not just the edgy boy who is filled with murderous desires, but the calmness and relaxed chemistry when with FL naturally. WYL is also great because he doesn't look like a stupid FL, his portrayal of LTY whose mood is only divided between happy and unhappy, a true salted fish with a very casual and chic provide an interesting comedy tone

A bit rushed character and world introduction but thats not necessarily a bad thing. It wasn't boring but on the contrary, really interesting. Can't wait to see more

Sima Jiao has been locked up for 500 years. He is the last of his clan and maybe even his kind and everybody wants something from him. They have him locked up for his blood and abilities and he has had enough. He plans on literally blowing up the mountain that confines him but needs one more thing for his plan to work. Now enter Liao Tingyan from the future. She has knowledge of games and is on the phone in a taxi when there is an accident and she finds herself in a ‘gameworld’ she is familiar with. She takes it in stride pretty well and sees it as a much needed work break. Since she doesn’t know how to escape, she goes with the flow wanting only to stay low key and have good food and good rest. She is taken to a mentor that informs her she is a filler for a group of women chosen to take care of the grandmaster. She is less than enthused but assured she won’t be chosen. She gets a taste of the mean girls all vying for top position to serve the grandmaster. She is more than happy to let them have the glory and tries to sneak away. She is literally escorted up the stairs til she resigns herself and goes peacefully. Once there she is told to sit and wait for a spiritual crown. Turns out, she has one. She now goes where huge cobras guard the way. She wants no part of it and looks for a way out. Sima Jiao sees her and is intrigued by her boldness. He cuts off any path of escape and she knows from horror movie watching the single person always ends up dead so she throws herself into the middle of the crowd hoping not to be seen. As the women are interviewed, one gets tossed across the courtyard and another killed. Turns out this one was an imposter and he knew. Liao Tingyan is kneeling and notices his well manicured feet.😂 She finds him pretty and surprised he is so mean. When he comes to her the fire emblem on his head is activated. She is from demonic clan and that was unexpected. He throws everybody out and they are all glad to go. Tingyan sees two distinct groups form but knows she has nothing in common with either one. Her leg hurts and unexpectedly she gets help from Ruling. They part ways and Tingyan goes off by herself. At the realm where she appeared from modern world, she was made an imposter assassin. She has no clue this is her role, but they are counting on her to set them free from the barrier that confines them. I enjoyed this first episode. I liked fl as BaoBao and wanted to see her in something new. She is hilarious and I find her as engaging here as I did there.
