Fresh Plot and Ending!
I am a sucker for drama where a character from modern world got dragged into ancient times/ storybooks/etc. I watched too many of this type of drama such as Romance of Tiger and Rose, Love Eastern Fantasy, Extraordinary You. So this time, I gave it a try again because usually the plot is very unique. And I am not wrong..Truth to be told, I hated the first episode of the drama and considered dropping it because too many conversations, nothing interesting yet, plot a bit weird too. Then I skipped some of the first episodes, and started to like it. The character that makes me intrigued is Nan Heng. He is so misunderstood, worked really hard, and I find that I kept watching the drama because of him. I want to know his backstory. Some of the scenes are comedic without being too much. The episodes that were leading to ending were also cleverly crafted too, with script water coming in, enforcing new rules and iconic scenes. Ending is better than Love Eastern by a lot. Love Eastern ending feel too forced (its a great drama with bad ending) like no logical at all. This one is more logical imo and everybody is happy and find their own destiny with their own hands. So a lot of good morals here.
Okay the part that I am not very happy with. I don't like the outfit on SYM lol. Its too flowery, too many golds, and too big on her. And the romance part is a bit flat.. not to say its a bad thing, its just not something that makes heart flutter. Most of the scenes go on with them defying the plot. and sorry this time, I have to say I dont like most of the supporting characters lol except for Nan Heng. The supporting characters have good qualities but more annoying qualities.Maybe supporting character that I like the most is Nan Rui. very consistent with his personality until the end and very fun to watch.
Well, the plot is not as entertaining as Love Eastern and Love between Fairy and Devil, but this is easy to watch and interesting.
That's all , looking forward to more LYN dramas!

beautiful plot and more beautiful settings
I love the casts especially dylan wang as the devil dong fang qing chang.Scenery and settings of the story are breathtaking. Personally, I think the Arbiter Hall is the best designed as the setting for grooming love between the fairy and devil. m
the costumes are quity pretty too and distinctive when xiao lan hua is in the moon tribes.
I think the only cons is that I wish to see the supporting role more entertaining. The main leads did a good job though.
its only 16 episodes out of 36 in iqiyi now! wish i could read the novel!
edit: I just finished 36 episodes in this drama. damn I love Dong Fang Qing Chang character so much. Dylan Wang acts really good as him. Xiao Lan Hua character is lovely, but Esther performance is just alright as her. Somehow, there are scenes of her that is quite cringy and not as powerful. Aside from that, I have to give applause to actors that play Rong Hao and Chi Di. Their facial expressions and the way they carries themselves is top notch for the characters they play.
cons is probably ending is too abrupt! and too many rebirth and deaths of the lead roles hahha. it was really entertaining drama, love the plots and twists :)

Also, I never really noticed Ding Yu Xi. Here, however, I feel his character is so cold, and very difficult to be conquered. I found him charming here and will continue to watch his dramas in the future. I really like his appearance in xian xia dramas. I AM A FAN now.
The other supporting characters for Mu Yao and Liu Fu Yi also plays their character well. Truth to be told, sometimes I feel they overshadow the main characters story haha, because their arc is interesting too. i love some of the fighting scenes too!
As for the story plots, the beginning is very promising but a bit of a let down towards the ending. Maybe because of 32 episodes, sometimes the story is a bit boring and nothing interesting going on. Also I think there should be more system notifications going on, because now it feels like a normal xian xiandramas without it. The ending I wish it could be more dramatic and more logical. i mean how come miao miao dreamed when the author is in hospital. but yea they got their happy ending i guess.
overall 8/10 i guess. its enjoyable but sometimes not interesting enough to capture the audience attention due to it be too protagonist immunity.
