Alright, I am totally sold! That was such an enjoyable and satisfying story overall. I love a lot of things about it but my love and adoration for Mu Qing Ge/Xue Ranran is even greater!

I typically jot down notes on how I feel about a drama I'm currently watching and upon checking it minutes ago, it was full of high praises and words of adoration for the FL. She's one of my most favorite FL character this year. I love everything about her and what she does...her broad-minded, non-condescending and appreciative view of everyone's potential and capabilities was truly commendable. + The way she finds meaning and fun in almost everything brings this delightful charm to her. A well-written character who made the story beautiful and admirable—the backbone of this story!

The story as I mentioned above was well-written and despite it being a Xianxia drama, the amount of cliché plot sand scenes were minimized to offer just the right amount and I would say that they did a spectacular job for that. Every scenes are interconnected to one another and I never felt at lost even once while watching it. The scenes were engaging and enjoyable that I don't feel bored at all.

Phasing was good and they were able to maximize all of the episodes to the fullest. No major nor minor plot holes I can think of, and I don't have any dissatisfactions either. Maybe something I 'hoped' was included even as a short scene is the wedding ceremony of Gao Cang & Xi Er (If they really ended up together)—I like this pairing a lot and I find the both of them adorable. It's just sad that we didn't get to see them be wedded but anyways, that's fine and totally understandable as it's not their story. Just wanna mention here that Xi Er's commentaries about what she smells to describe feelings and emotions is very unique and funny to me. She's even nonchalant whenever she delivers them which makes it even funnier. Haha!

The most important and noteworthy part of this story would probably be Mu Qing Ge's journey in making Su Yi Shui a better and kinder person. Her approach towards his violent reactions and retaliations is that one thing that made me look up and admire her. She was understanding, patient and sincere in dealing with him—Explaining things carefully in different ways in order for him to understand every situation. She's like a mother raising and correcting her juvenile naughty son.—She uses warmth to melt his frozen cold heart, gentleness to mend his maimed soul and love to lighten the darkness surrounding his world which made him gradually open up and love her in return.

The same credits should be given to Xue Ran Ran as she also suffered quite a lot dealing with his "Master". Although it was a completely different scenario this time as Su Yi Shui has already been tamed, felt indebted and of course, in love. He at the same time was the toughest to deal with, in his hot and cold, confused and full of hesitation phase. Thank god Xue Ran Ran's persistence and passion for him was boudles. Because if not? then I don't know anymore. Also, XRR & SYS chemistry gives off this extra cheerful and playful vibe which makes watching them more entertaining than ever!

Rising action and climax of the story were greatly executed and I hereby say that the most entertaining part of the whole drama is the last 10 episodes. I never felt that they were rushing anything at all. More so, they seemed like a water flowing smoothly in a river. The director and writers certainly got a good grasp of the story—on how should it flow and how should it be ended.

The conclusion was logically done as I don't expect Mortal Cultivators (no matter how powerful they are) to defeat an Immortal. So, kudos to the team for giving us such a satisfying and rational ending. Mu Ran Wu's ending on the otherhand felt lacking to me. That b*tch deserves an excruciating death more than that gone-insane trope.

Ending is my most favorite part of the whole drama. Xue Ran Ran & Su Yi Shui settling down, retiring and living their happiest days (becoming baby machines lol) with their kids is the best ending we drama fans could ever receive from a drama. So I truly appreciate and extremely grateful to the entire team for giving us such a happy ending.

P.S. Seeing kindness and reasons through Su Yi Shui's display of cruelty is Mu Qing Ge/Xue Ran Ran's real charm and power. Her words of affirmation and strong relentless love gave him warmth—She lit his life and provided him HOME.

Story - 10, Best Xianxia I have watched this year (2025) and in a while. Story is compact and has a smooth sailing flow. Like I mentioned above, the director and writer got a flawless idea of how the story should progress and perfect control on how to conclude it.

Acting/Cast - 10, I so love each one of the cast! Deng Wei is the perfect leading man and no one in my opinion can top Julia Xiang's performance in this show—She excels in this mischievous and silly acts/expressions which suits her the best + Flawless and effortless execution of both Mu Qing Ge & Xue Ran Ran was truly amazing. The supporting roles are great as well. It's also nice to see Ai Mi and Fo Bo Han again (since I have been seeing them in almost all of the dramas I watched. Haha!)

Music - 10, beautiful and lovely. It accentuates the mood and color of the drama. + It brought out the emotions of the scenes they're used in.

Rewatch Value - 10, A drama that I will surely re-watch if I can and would also recommend to people to watch.

Overall - 10, Everything about this drama is exceptional to me. Thinking about this drama reminds me of how beautiful the story and visuals/CGI are. I wish more directors can start making Xianxia dramas like this.
