I am quite unsettled by this series. The plot twists, especially in the first part of the series, were just diabolical. I can say those really came unexpected. Not sure if it was in a good or bad way, but it did push the story further.

The whole story is very interesting. Definitely not for everyone and it takes some getting used to. If you're not typically into stories about immortals and mortals who cultivate mystical powers, this might go way over your head. It does take a lot for the world building to settle and be more relatable.

I have generally liked Bai Lu, she did an amazing job as A'Yue/Li quing yue. That character has to be the most exhausting and frustrating with all that it had gone through. But I really came to watch this for Joseph Zeng. That man can do no wrong. He was the perfect Bai Jiu Si (bae juicy!) He played the role of tsundere deity like he was born for it. I am a little disappointed with their chemistry though - I mean, they are a good looking couple but I didn't really feel excited about their romance at all. If they give me Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng in a modern drama, I would definitely watch them together again.

Again, this series is a lot. It is pretty emotional. It tries to teach a lesson about love, forgiveness, revenge, and choices, among other things. I was let down with the ending, because what the hell happened? It just felt like it was all over the place, some characters were not fully developed, and some storyline subplots were dropped or completely forgotten.

I recommend this if you are a masochist. This is definitely a good series for you.
