Beautiful Chinese drama.

This drama made me laugh, cry, get angry, and feel the rage, helplessness, and pain that the characters, especially Ji Ling, felt. 🥹 There was no dull moment; all the characters were well-developed and had very distinct but charming personalities. I was absolutely charmed by the character Ji Ling, my baby, my little boy, my sunshine. I cried a lot with his story; despite suffering many misfortunes, he was always a ray of sunshine and a sweetheart. I really identified with his character and I was surprised that he was an INFP LIKE ME AAAAHG OMG. Despite everything, I'm very glad he had his happy ending, living like a normal person without the burdens and suffering of loneliness. I really liked his character development. Tian Jia Rui is a spectacular actor; he did not disappoint at all, perfectly portraying several characters. I clearly noticed the difference in each of their attitudes; he was able to convey to me the pain, loneliness, suffering, devotion, and love he felt for Lu Wuyi.

I loved the romance story of both couples, both well-developed. My favorite without a doubt is the WuWu couple/ship; their chemistry was incredible! I honestly didn't expect the bed scene.It was well done, I completely loved that couple. For a moment I thought it was going to have a very tragic ending, but thank God it didn't. My favorite arc is when Wu Wangyan and Wu Shiguang entered the dragon illusion; their relationship was very romantic and sweet. And the fact that Wu Shiguang cut off his arm and leg to get closer to his beloved Wangyan, who was worried and desperate to have him near 🥹. My favorite character is Wu Wangyan, although sadly he didn't have much screen time, he still managed to capture my attention and that of the viewers; he has a natural charm. Chen Duling perfectly embodied Wu Wangyan; she has the beauty and talent to do it, it's a shame the director didn't appreciate her despite the dedication she put into the role.

As for the visual aesthetics it's incredible, no actor or actress is ugly at all, everyone is visually appealing and the costumes worn by all the characters looked high quality and spectacular. I really loved the fox sisters' outfits, and Ji Ling looked divine in the Dragon God's clothes, even though they had a painful meaning; he looked gorgeous in those hanfus.
