Sometimes Less is more. It would be more appropriate if sometimes they kept Bai Shuo’s hair style simple. example is below

Because the story was written by Xing Ling in the universe of trilogy xianxia novels (Shang Gu, Hidden God and Goddess Bai Shuo). The demon god in the universe was Tianqi who changed his name to Jing Yuan in the post-ancient era. Due to copyright several names of main characters in ALP can not be re-used in some related works such as The Last Immortal or MM. Moreover, the production team for those subsequent dramas tried to make each as standalone work.
The reason why Tianqi chose that name when he resurrected was he was accused by everyone as world enemy who wanted to destroy the world to be the ultimate ruler and killed many ancient gods including Yue Mi (Goddess of Xing Yue). He did not kill those gods and the reason behind his plan to destroy the three realms was to save Shang-Gu, the chief-god at that time. However he kept the truth of that event for a long time and was misunderstood. Jing (净) means Clean, pure and Yuan (渊) means deep water or deep

Comparing with her performance in Lost you forever, she indeed progressed a lot in acting. I enjoy her performance here

Xuan Yi and Mingqi were the same person with original name of Xuan Yi in the novel Hidden God which was adapted to TLI. Xuan Yi's original story was quite close to what was depicted in the drama TLI. He was born with devil power and assigned as devil god from the beginning. ALP adapted Xuan Yi from Hidden God and changed his characteristics, profile making him as the previously chosen Chief God with Chaos Power but then he rebelled and turned into devil after knowing the secret of Chaos Tribulation. In ALP, he was killed by Bai Jue and the devil clan also disappeared after Xuan Yi's defeat

Xuan Yi, the devil God was killed. Demon God - Tianqi was “killed” but he resurrected. Wu Huan was not killed but got punishment

if he was the evil god, he would be Xuan Yi. he had only one single interest. That was avoiding the fate and becoming the Chief God with ultimate power

Here is my insight in their power posted in the discussion section https://kisskh.at/discussions/zhu-yue/134114-timeline-of-ancient-love-poetry-the-last-immortal-and-moonlight-mystique?pid=3230376&page=1#p3230376 . I used the information from the drama mainly. There is only one point from novel that Tianqi sealed Yuanqi's power when he was sent to Dong Hua's sect. TLI removed other true god such as Tianqi and Zhi Yang

it is not convenient to discuss this in detail here. i will give more insight later in the discussion topic timeline related to ALP, TLI and MM

yuan qi with only a few hundred years old until he exhausted most of his power to save the sect couldn’t match ZhiYang who was older than all of them. He used his left power with other gods to maintain the god realm in hibernation mood for more than 60000 years. I would put Xuan Yi then ShangGu then Bai jue . Then Tianqi and Zhi Yang. Yuan qi was lowest. it is quite difficult to compare Shang Gu and Xuan Yi. I think XY had stronger power but weaker in spiritual mind/mental strength

then you should watch both and make judgment for yourself. this type of question or curiosity can ignite unnecessary debate

Because It's required standard chinese accent (Beijing accent) for ancient costume dramas. Actors across the country have various unique accents and it feels off in costume dramas

in As beautiful as you, He might use his original voice . you can check episodes 32-33-34

but she is mortal without spiritual trick

How comes that Bai Shuo move to Fox Clan so fast from her hometown in mortal world without any help

This is the CGI done by Topwork for ALP: https://youtu.be/HzPJbJRCP5s?feature=shared
The aesthetics was inspired by Dun Huang art. And the producer wanted minimalism styling for the drama: The meticulously crafted special effects are a major highlight of Ancient Love Poetry. In the show, every setting—from the grand and breathtaking Heavenly Realm to the mist-shrouded Liao Wang Mountain and the eerie, mysterious Nether World—stands out with distinctive features and exquisite details. At the same time, these settings are harmoniously unified under a consistent framework of Eastern aesthetics, serving as powerful support for the narrative.
In many of recent xianxia dramas, the color tone, CGI is much more colorful. Maybe it is current trend. Everyone has different taste. For many people, xianxie world must have sharpness, high contrastness, colorful images. Nowadays, different styles of CGI are all doable. It is just the matter of production team's intention and taste. Maybe they just choose that style because it suits the majority's taste

i saw Topwork in the credit in the closing part of each Eps. topwork did the cgi for ALP too. However the concepts for aesthetics of two dramas are different. Moreover it also depends on the budget. i can tell you that the chief producer of aALP had very clear and unique idea & inspiration on Oriental aesthetic used in ALP

Check the discussion topics related to connection with ALP in the discussion. ALP set the foundation, knowledge about Xianxia universe written by Ting Ling who is the author of original work for MM. However, many aspects were changed for adaption. It's possible to go straight watching MM without watching ALP which is also very good xianxia drama. So if you want to binge the drama at once, you can also start with ALP. The main background story between the main leads of MM happened in the first 14 eps of ALP. Then there would be enough released eps of MM to binge watching. A brief summary of Tianqi/Fan Yue's life in ALP can be found here: https://youtu.be/BcP0VEHUpFQ?feature=shared

The leader of Chong Zhao's sect. However, in the novel he was Deputy leader of the immortal palace

That would be big twist of surprise. She is Jin Yao's daughter in the novel :D. Bai xi was just normal mortal who later had a normal life in the original novel
