I'm also a fan of xukai, and I love his recent works. All of the characters he played are so different from each other from fiys an eSport player to an immortal in ancient love poetry playing three different roles, playing a prince/ emperor in royal feast now to a doctor/martial artist in loss in Kunlun mountain. Hope to see him in more diverse roles ^^

I could never tell if it was his voice or not. Like in falling into your smile, I was sure it was his voice since I heard him use it in bts, but I was later told he was dubbed. Still now I don't know how to check to know whether it was his real voice.

Your welcome ^^

The first 16 eps were just introduction. The eps after that are the main story, you will get to know who are the main characters because they'll get reintroduce again. It's a very good drama if you have the patience to watch to the end, because after that, you will want to rewatch it again ^^

Lots of things you said were just assumptions about bixi. He's a minor character, and not a very important one either. From my understanding of his character, he was able to be nice to houchi because he has nothing against her. But when he was given a choice between doing the right thing or going along with Jin yang and wuhuan and turned on houchi he took it. Why because wuhuan is the heavenly empress, Jin yang is the heir to the heavenly emperor, he clearly choose the ones with the higher authorities; it's actually very common how you called a means to an end, it doesn't matter what tactics you used to get the desire results, some people will make compromise and choose the shorter road rather than going the longer road in order to get what they want. Bixi was promised by wuhuan that she will help the humans with her power, he must be desperate for her help if he would resort to such underhanded tactics. He did regrets his actions in the end once he realizes he was fooled by wuhuan, however you can't blame him, it must be the first time he got a promise from the heavenly empress, and gotten her agreement to help the humans in the process.

Then who was top billed in royal feast since it was also a S+ drama?

If you like any of the characters you can keep watching to know what happens to them. It's a slow pace drama that has lots of talking, what I like is it depiction of old school wuxia. The fashion, being it's a mixed of western and old fashioned styles, ding yunqi and wushuang are a very good looking couple ^^

You can't really compare houchi to other gods and goddesses. It was a known fact her power is weak, everyone and anyone was mocking her. Having a god status means you're a powerful being, but with houchi everyone only afraid of her father, she was only able to enjoy her god status because of her father. She was disrespected by even a servant of the heavenly empress because of her lowly power. The only way to get any respect in the heaven realm is to have power or to have a god status. Bixi is not a god hence Jin yang was being disrespectful towards him. We don't know if he loses any power from losing the tower, but it's true that he has to use his power to maintain the order of the human realm in place of the tower, and that could be the reason why he loss to Jin yang. Again your argument about wuhuan is wrong, in order to become a god they had to cultivate and pass a trial to become god, nobody else was able to become gods after the god realm was close; the only people who are gods in the heavenly realm are gujun, muguang, wuhuan and houchi, houchi is the only goddess who was acknowledged as one in the womb because of gujun insistence, not because of her own power. Also bixi didn't defeat houchi, they were at a draw at most. If I have to make comparison in term of power, he might be even weaker than donghua who wasn't a god at the time either.

Agree, I'm rewatching it since I 'm still not over this drama ^^

I don't see it that way. He's just a normal immortal, not a god, otherwise he would call himself one. Also the human world was just created after the god world was destroyed, so bixi was tasked with guarding the human realm and guard against the evil power by baijue. Everything that you said was just your guess calling him a warrior when he was easily defeated by someone like jian yang. Again with underestimating wuhuan, after the god realm was destroyed, nobody else was able to cultivate to become a god, wuhuan was a goddess and the heavenly empress, she hold lots of power, so he chose to deal with her because her son made promises that she will help guarding the human realm for him. Also jian Yang being really rude towards bixi just gives the impression that bixi is a lowly immortal with lowly power, that's why he was easily defeated by him.

Lys does gets better, and becomes really likable. He and dyq are the two best characters in the show. I'm I weird I haven't moved on from this drama,
and I'm rewatching it again. This is such an entertaining show, even though all they're doing is talking to each other, I'm watching to the scenes he met cyz and I just love dyq and czy confrontation, as well as dyq and lys scenes when they're confronting each other. I think it has to do with the acting, this drama really give the actors and actresses chances to play up their characters and I'm loving it all ^^

You wouldn't know how power can bend other people's will no matter how good their intentions. Wuhuan is not just an empress, but also the only four gods in the entire heavenly realm. I think you're really underestimating her, I didn't see any inconsistency in his character, I just felt disappointed in him because in order to do his job as baijue's order to guard the human realm, he chose to sacrifice his own integrity to get the results he wanted. Who would question a heavenly empress or the older son of the emperor, he was just a servant who is tasked with guarding the humans, he couldn't say no to a higher authority.

Yes he compromised his integrity by having a deal with wuhuan. Later he regrets for making a deal with her, he chose to put his trust in the wrong person and he paid for it with his life.

Congratulations to alp for reaching 12,000 comments ^^

Agree 💯

I prefer fl over that girl any day of the week lol. No matter how desperate ding yunqi is, there's a better option out there than that girl. If you keep watching, you will not like how she turned out. There's another female character in the show, I wouldn't mind shipping him with her either, he always call her sister. I also like their relationship ^^

Even though I thought the ending was unsatisfactory, the last ep was actually not that bad. The fight between zqh and yunqi was really cool. Xukai using that long sword to fight zqh, and him getting injured so badly in the process, just feels so bad for him :( Xukai acting was great, his chemistry with Elaine zhong was really good. The one thing I will say his character was so mature even though he looks so young compare to fl who looks older but playing a naive character, but she was really good playing this character. Wishing for xukai to get more dramas with long fight scenes like this, he can be in a wuxia ^^

Most of his dramas do have romance, but romance was never the focus. I like it that way actually. I wouldn't mind him playing a villain, but I doubt if it can pass censorship.

Where did you read the novel? Is there a link to read in English?

Let agree to disagree, the ending left a lot to be desired. If they had showed him figure out the secret at the last minutes I would believe the ending, but due to we get the scenes right after his smiles of satisfaction that he successfully trapped zqh in the heaven official hq, it gives the feeling everything else after that being a dream. If they had showed fengling and he biao in the flesh, or yunsong and sanxian make preference of wanting to be fighting in the front line in earlier scenes. Or making the scenes between wushuang and yunqi look realistic and not so dreamlike I would've been ecstatic for the happy ending instead I was left unsatisfied with the ending, hence I rather take the sad ending over the happy one.
