having a pure soul makes you the most powerful

This is a love story between a Demon and Taoist. Naturally these 2 clans do not go well together however, our female lead believes in no discrimination and doesnt harm the demons. Instead she befriends them and tries to bring out the good in them. Due to her outgoing nature which did not align with her clan's beliefs, she was kicked out and had to go on a journey on her own.

While travelling she comes across the Dragon King who has lost all his ability after being betrayed by his ex. The dragon king realises that his heart is inside her and starts his plan to gain her trust. After alot of hurdles the two of them start their journey to hunt for all the missing dragon pieces (bones, horns, veins, scales). Only once all is found the dragon king becomes strong enough to defeat their enemies.

So this is the basis of the plot which was interesting and the hurdles and stories their introduced at every arc was good as well. There is comedy, romance, friendship and loads of cuteness. There are multiple heartbreaking moments as well. The leads were so devoted to each other that they did everything to protect one another.

Yanhui was a very outgoing character who was very bubbly, Tianyao on the other hand was really calm and collected. BXS was also a really interesting character. He was the cupid for our leads. Initially i though he would be the bad guy but thankfully no he was very helpful and saved them numerous times. I adoreddd the kids at the dragon valley. They were so cuteee. The dragon valley arc was both very cute and sad.

The drama isnt very heavy on romantic scenes but the leads are together 90% of the time so you get plenty of cute cute moments!

Overall it was a good watch!
