NOT another Wang You Shuo drama on MANGO TV!! :'((( I'm still waiting for someone else to do proper English subs for Dear Mr. Heavenly Fox and Young Blood Season 2!! :(
kisskh should calm with these paid promotions for K-dramas! I was actually contemplating on watching this when I first heard about it 'cause I like the matchmaking theme in a historical, but now after 5 different thought-salads "news articles" on it, I'm thoroughly and utterly disgusted!
Deities are not required for a drama to be considered a xianxia (though that's not to say they can't be present), in fact a typical xianxia would mostly have mortals in the mortal realm cultivating to achieve "immortality" (being super powerful and very difficult to kill, and living for centuries, etc., not necessarily ascending to the heavens).
Examples of typical xianxia would be Chinese Paladin/Legend of Sword and Fairy, and Jade Dynasty/Noble Aspirations.

I still hope they will release this after Asian Games end in October!!
Btw y'all can calm about "2024" here in mdl, it's not anything official yet (in fact, on iQIYI it's still "TBD" if I'm not mistaken)… FYI, kisskh data is edited by kisskh contributors/users themselves, what you see here is not always accurate (especially for dramas not released yet).
This is a good drama, with interesting albeit very messed-up characters; highly recommended, if you understand what you're getting into. BUT I would advise against starting this while it's still airing (unlike me), cause the schedule keeps getting more and more ridiculous: it's bad enough that it's only 1 episode per week, but it's now the 2nd time (if I'm not mistaken) that we don't get a new episode for 2 weeks, yeah that's one twenty-something minutes episode after two whole weeks!!!

1) Good script
2) Jeremy Xu's real voice!

Here is a useful MDL article for further reading:

As for which of the 2 categories this drama would belong, I guess we'll know after airing for certain! :)
