Must watch first 11 eps! This is a very romantic cp
I personally rated it 8.0 and if I stopped at ep11, it would be a solid 8.5 because it has comedy, cuteness and romance, well scripted, acted and executed, but given all 20 episodes it really is less than that.We have many cp here (listed in chronological order) starting with the Godes like Lu Ming and her demon lover Sha. She gets tricked by her master into offing her lover and then offs herself.
Then we have the body of Lu Ming reincarnated as Cheng Yan (another cultivator hell bent on offing demons) who is close to her brother Cheng Tian, but he in turn is just the body of her brother taken over by - you guessed it - Sha. Therefore, he has hots for her while she is really interested in someone else. Who?
Cheng Yan is drawn to Chen: a cute, kitty soft and purring demon with amnesia who falls head over heels - with reciprocity! The best part is first 11 episodes when their love is so romantic, sweet and downright steamy on their wedding night. Yikes! You can tell that this duo (Fang Tong and Xiao Dong) played a couple before and I highly recommend you go back to Kiss Me, Save Me to watch them all googly eyed in modern/drama times. They are smoking hot and I want to see them together more! Unless Tong can do another comedy like Decreed by Fate with Yan Zi Xian who was hilarious in My Uncanny Destiny (their recent Culinary Vendetta was so so, but they have a potential).
Back to the story
There is also Mu Ling who is after Cheng Tian, but that is going nowhere other than really nasty with the 2ML and FL.
And when we come to ep 12 things start going blah. 2ML is not convincing and a few episodes are wasted on things we really don't need, but in the end (ep19 and 20) we are getting closer to the truth of why Chen and Cheng Yan are so close and destined.
The ending is like what we got in Love of Nirvana and Till the End of the Moon, so don't complain. Also, if you are against actors paired up with some age gap - I am totally fine with Tong Tong being 31 and her romantic partner in this production being only 24. They DO fit well, and I hope they will do more dramas together.
OST and BGM is fitting, esthetically it's as good as A Moment but Forever (same sets I think) and definitely beats some other really bad stuff that I dropped this year.
If you watch to the end, you will realize that the plot starts going places it did not intend to go in the first half of the drama and while the ending is what I completely predicted, and think is fitting - it's 7.5 only.

A Short and Sweet Xianxia Romance with a Few Bumps Along the Way
This Chinese xianxia drama had 20 short episodes, each around 12 minutes long. Overall, it was a decent watch.On the positive side, the main leads (ML and FL) were really cute together, though at times their interactions felt a bit cheesy. Their chemistry was fun to watch, and they definitely carried the emotional weight of the story. The visual aesthetics of the drama were quite charming, as expected in the xianxia genre, with beautiful costumes and enchanting landscapes.
However, there were a few downsides. The acting of the supporting characters didn’t quite hit the mark, which sometimes took me out of the experience. Another major issue was a disturbing scene involving sexual assault. While it's part of the plot, it may feel uncomfortable to watch and felt unnecessary.
In terms of overall entertainment, the drama wasn’t addictive but kept me engaged enough to finish it.

Cute Kitty, Weak Story
This starts out not too bad. It has a cat demon which turns into a cat and the cgi is passable, especially for it being a mini drama. Where it breaks down is that the story lacks really ANY detail...There were multiple times that I was waiting for something to be further explained only for the thread to be fully and completely dropped. Whether it was the ML/FL actually falling in love, what the artifacts she collects are, who the ML meets in the Demon Realm, why the poison was administered originally, or more... NOTHING is explained.
The one positive in my opinion was that Chen Fang Tong and Fang Xiao Dong can both act relatively well and had chemistry with eachother.

Worth the watch!... but only till ep11
The story is quite basic with an ancient ammesiac demon (ML) and an artififact cultivator (FL). Yup, we see that paring everyday. Till ep 11 it is all cute, bubbly and unexpectedly hot and steamy :) But then comes ep 12 to 20 which in my opinion were completely unnecessary. Then we have the villain couple (in my mind) so the FL's sect brother wants to marry her (spoiler starts) because he is actually not the brother but an ancient demon Sha who is the ML's... sibling? It's complicated. (spoiler ends) Then we have the basic vile, jealous, crazy fool who is pining for the Villain.The story is decent, acting is great till 11, and then the OST and BGM are about as good as it could get. The love story is cute and nice. The ending- not so nice but hey, we can't have everything.
But at the end of the day, it is a mini drama. What can you expect? I suggest watching it till ep 11 but to the fair complitionists like me ep20 it is.

Estava bom até o episódio final
Contem spoilers sobre o final.A história é legalzinha, figurino é decente para este tipo de produção, dá para encarar se estiver com tempo sobrando e nada melhor para assistir.
Se não gosta daqueles finais onde passa raiva após ver episódios de romance entre o casal principal, não perca tempo assistindo.
