K-Drama 
Easily one of the greatest Xianxia's of all time
So going into this show the most interesting dynamic is having the woman being the master and the man being the disciple it will be very interesting to see how the dynamics shift when he is the master and she becomes the disciple this switching is unique and I have never seen it before.
The acting is good, the set and costumes look great. I will update this review when I watched more episodes it's too soon to complete this review. Again the characters origin stories are introduced bit by bit which is always ideal since the viewer can absorb information and retain it better.
Julia Xiang is a great actress before she looks so strong, knowledgeable and confident, after she is reborn she comes off as so innocent and naive. Same actress but it's like two completely different people such a high level of acting.
The pacing of this show is good it's not too fast and not too slow. There is enough action but doesn't rely on cool fight scenes to carry the show. The show is carried by the story telling and the dialogue this is what a good Xianxia should be like.
The male lead and female lead have investigative skills, negotiations skills, and even use trickery to fool the antagonists adds a realistic and interesting layer to their characters and the main story.
Many of the characters met when they were children and have conflicts with each other like obsession, love, betrayal and revenge. Very good to have all these elements in the drama.
I want to talk about the villain Dun tian I'm glad they didn't just make him evil they gave him a very human and understandable reason (his desire to be with his family again.)
This is the best Xianxia I have ever watched. Once again China does the best possible job of writing good and interesting feminine characters.
The scene was towards the end of the two leads getting married and living with their children was very well done. This is a show I will re-watch yearly I truly believe it is that good.
