Novel Reader Alert! Worth Watching!!

The first few episodes might feel a little slow, but once it picks up, it’s worth it! I like how the drama takes a different direction from the novel while still keeping some of the original lines and moments.
The cast is really well chosen too— everyone fits their roles perfectly. And honestly, the empress is my absolute favorite character… she totally cracks me up, LOL.

The best watch of 2025

Absolutely the best watch of this year and worth waiting for. From production and direction to unmatched performances by both the leads this slow burn historical romance with its fantasy elements, a kickass strong FL and a torn hurting ML subduing his emotions to find his father’s killer and unwillingly but surely compelled to fall for his life mate is an endearing watch that deserves multiple binge rewatches - just to see the two drawn to each other like moths to a flame. Burning and irresistible. The comments regarding the deadpan face acting from KAI are baseless. Read the book. The character is SUPPOSED to be withdrawn, expressionless and restrained. Both Kai and XiWei are well matched in talent and chemistry. The way he falls for her first while she unknowingly is bewitched is so beautiful. She has a strong storyline of an uber strong powerful demon lead while he has humble beginnings and rare unmatched talent and bravery. It’s an enduring story - the kind that fairytales are made of. And the 2 actors have loved the story to its full potential. The way Kai’s expression goes from stone face composed to full panic and fearful when she is in danger is like a page turner from great story to great romance. The best thing about the series is that the story is strong and meaningful and not just and excuse to throw a couple together for a few kiss scenes and irrational romantic moments. Despite being a tv production, the AI, CGI and all manner of special effects are expertly executed. Its a high quality timeless legend that will go on to become an all time classic.

You will love the FL

The FL is very good. She plays so well that it's captivating and engaging. Xu Kai is very invested in his role. The drama deserves so much and I hope there will be a lot to explore in the remaining episodes.
Plus the visuals are beautiful. I don't know about you, but this drama has become one of my best that I've seen this year because of the FL. It's on my list. It has her own unique universe.
But to tell the truth also at some point the story is very slow and it's deserves better than that.

A great production, Interesting plot, Great acting

Both main leads are so good at acting & story wise this is so interesting, especially FL is so cool & her character is so strong, mature, not a childish one. I love her character, ML is so calm & no one can guess he’s a demon hunter. My only concern is both of them are in opposite sides. One is a half-demon who cares for the world peace & the other is a demon hunter who also cares for the world peace. I hope they would end up together no matter how they are differ from each other & yet they share the same goal. Costumes are so gorgeous in this drama & I love how FL’s loved ones spoiled her . A cinematic masterpiece.

Don't listen to others, just watch it.

This is one my most favorite Cdramas out there. One of the few that made me think, "Wow, so China can do it as well if they tried". I watched this on a whim and just got hooked instantly on episode 1! It's been a while since I've watched this but I'm only giving a review now because I didnt have an account back then. Still, this cdrama left a very positive impression on me that I won't forget.

Let me start with the female lead, Tian Xiwei, normally I wouldn't care to remember anyone's real name in a drama but she just perfectly executed her character and left me in a jaw drop. I then looked on the internet and found out that she's literally called the Sweetheart of china. She just nails the playful WuZhen at day and the cold cat lord Wu Zhen at night. Super impressed by her and this is the first time I've watched her in a drama.

The production of this drama and execution is so good too. I love every part of it as well as the writing and the osts. Literally I have nothing but praises for this drama, so if you're wondering if you wanna try it, just go for it. Overall, 9.5/10.

WOW!

I have watched hundreds of chinese dramas and this is at top 3 for sure. Didnt feel like i was watching something slow/boring, the storyline makes sense, its not too much- everything perfect. Hope for a second season or at least a clearer ending, it was so good but i guess we cant always have the same ending

nothing important

This drama is one of the upcoming drama that i wait. At first, i didn't hype much cause i don't want to feel disappointed later.

For me, the costumes, lighting, and CGI (for the Demon Market and spirit powers) are beautiful. Night scenes, especially, give off a romantic yet slightly eerie vibe, perfectly matching the title.

But then, some episodes are fast-paced, full of mystery and action. Maybe the production didn't edit well. or mislook.

The casts here looks handsome and beautiful. I really like meisi and liutanzhen, even the yeye. They look like a family together , where yeye is their future son who try to make his dad n mom to be together. And of course i didn't like wuzishu, like death wasn't suitable for him. He's sooo annoying character, i thought peijiya would be , but then he died.

Beautiful Production

This drama was a honestly a visual VFX feast; the CGI and the special effects were top notch and clearly high budget.

Plot-wise and as with most dramas, I liked the first half of the story much more than the second. The second half felt more like an afterthought, and the pace was much slower during the last 7 or so episodes. While I didn't mind the side characters since the drama spent a lot of time fleshing out all of their characters, the second half really gave an inordinate amount of screentime to the side characters ... so if you're not a fan of them, just a warning.

Acting-wise, this is one of the rare times where I think absolutely everyone in the cast were great actors that really made their individual characters come alive. Tian Xi Wei in particular completely knocked it out of the park - she played a coquettish Cat Lord so well and probably entered into my list of top 3 female characters of all time for her assertive and carefree personality. Never once have I thought she needed saving and all her fight scenes convinced me that she was incredibly capable and powerful.

Overall, a nice solid production that's worth the watch just for the visuals and the stellar music.

LOVE THIS DRAMA

I haven't been this into a drama in so long!!! The story is captivating. The characters Mei Zhuyu and Wu zhen are so adorable and lovely!!! The special affects are top notch. I recommend everyone give this drama a chance. I had to watch through a third party because this drama will not be available in the USA until Aug 26th on Disney+, eventually Viki and possible Tencent video

So far so good!

I like this new side of the Male Lead & Female Lead. So far storyline has been interesting and not boring. The pace is good. I like this new side of our FL since I've really only seen her in funny roles. Funny FL leads that are childish can get so annoying so I'm glad our FL is mature and level headed.
