This is definitely not a straight forward romance!

This story is about a female called Mu Qing Ge who heads up The West Mountain Sect, has a reputation for being a frivolous demon who takes on only good looking apprentices but who is wise beyond her smoke screen facade and Su Yi Shui a young, very straight laced, talented young man who is coerced into joining her sect.
Over time they develop a bond which is put to the ultimate test when she sacrifices herself and Su Yi Shui does everything in his path to undo what has been done.
Deng Wei was perfect for this role (which is high praise as I still haven’t forgiven him for stealing the girl in Lost You Forever) and is able to portray both the angry young man forced to join The West Mountain Sect and the older heart heavy cultivator who ends up dealing with a young woman who is everything he used to be. Julia Xiang is fabulous and portrays a frivolous woman one moment and a deeply caring one the next. Their chemistry is great and you feel for them as they navigate their way through this story.
The plot holds together well and the supporting actors are believable with three dimensions and character development, especially the evil sister, played by Zhang Wei Na.
Production values, costumes and the music score all add to the overall feeling of this story.
Would I watch this again? Absolutely
