Not only their name were changed, many others' names were changed too. you can fine more detail here https://kisskh.at/discussions/shen-yin/121769-shen-yin-the-last-immortal-novel-content-and-its-connection-with-ancient-love-poetry?pid=2894807&page=1#p2894807

That kid also played cameo role in Sword and Fairy 6.

Everything that they did all linked to the task to save normal people and the world. They were born, trained and put together by others to accomplish the task. And they did it. They sacrificed their lives (Jin Zhao and partially Qi) to protect people and the world. YJZ was originally to be with Qi, helped her for the task but he also would have short lifespan as fate (BLH was seriously injured when he exchanged for YJZ). And Qi was willing to exchange her existence for JZ--> thus she would not have memory about others and others did not have memory about her. In the end they were brought back as normal people which seemed to be destined with each other. They would write their own story now without manupulation by external forces. They would have the right to be happy and no more burden responsibility. All tribulation was over.

Yes and no. Ming Qi in TLI is Xuan Yi in its original novel Shen Yin (Hidden God). ALP took Xuan Yi in Shen Yin and incorporated the character in the plot. However, Xuan Yi was modified modified and killed

No, you can watch it straight ahead. each Chinese paladin has its own independent story. the number just related to time order when the original game was released.

I don't know why you got the impression that nobody is watching this. In China, each episode has about 12.5 million views so far (and the broadcast for VIP memebers just completed on 13/2) abeit Tencent's terrible broadcast schedule. For some weeks, the drama was on top 1 of WeTV in 25 countries.
Since this drama was adapted from a game which was the least popular one among Chinese Paladin editions, it has quite unique taste thus it attracts certain type of viewers and not so appealing to pass-by viewers. The drama was praised by the father of the games for its closest adaption and performance of the main leads.

The pros of this drama includes: (1) the story are quite different from typical xianxia drama so it is not so predictable.; (2) actors did their good job in the drama (not only the main leads but other less important characters; (3) good CPs; (4): OSTs are generous and good.
The cons for me is the middle part of the drama the pace was a bit slow and less focus on the main lead. However, this also means there was enough times for other characters

Just give it a try. or watch the teaser to see if you feel like to watch it

Xukai's farewell to his YJZ:

#祈今朝会员收官# 超越过去，一切自今日始，越今朝会继续走自己的路，书写自己的命运，我们有缘再会！#祈今朝# 许凯soso的微博视频

​​​Beyond the past, everything starts today, Yue Jin Zhao will continue to walk his own way, write his own destiny. We are destined to meet again!

Yes, ALP changed the total time that Shang Gu kneeled and waited for Bai Jue.
In fact, in the novel It took only 100 years (she kneeled for 10 years and got injured and blewn out of the ancestral platform). Yuan Qi was ~ 100 years old when Bai Jue died. In the novel, the moment Yuan Qi became true god was the same time as his dad was reborn. His dad had even came to see him before the god realm was closed for the next 1000 years to nurture the new born true god. So plus 1000 years of reincarnation for Feng Yin, Yuan Qi was slightly above 1200 year old by the time Feng Yin woke up (or returned). And plus 1000 years for his resurrection, the moment they saw each other at the end of the drama, he was 2200 year old. TLI was adapted from the novel thus his age matched the age in the novel.

the first episode did not tell the story in chronological order. It started with the event somewhere 500 years after the story line started

What you told is the drama version of the twin brothers Ao Ge and Xiuyan
The twin's story in the drama is different from the novel. In the novel, XiuYan stayed in Youming realm and both shared one body. Xuan Yi (or Mingqi in the drama was alone in Jiuyu. Qing Lin was exciled there. And if I remember correctly the great war happened 70000 years before the era of TLI. Xuan Yi could step out of Jiuyu if he wanted but the ghost devils/animals were confined in sealed Jiuyu

because BLH of 3 year later was the one who exchange for YJZ at that point. the future BLH travelled to the past . the past BLH (white BLH) had to experienced 3 more year to close the deal

If the drama is not your cup of tea, it's reasonable to drop it. But you have very inaccurate impression of the FL. She fought agaist Li Ni, she kicked him fall in the well and was outsmart him in those several openning episodes.
FYI: the clips of only scenes between the main leads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI4HADLR9X0&list=PLTB73Ibi_X3EOatBVEylG4NwUtbBe57dW&index=43.

have you watched the drama at all? She was cunning, strong, smart, independent and manupulative. Which part do you find her weak? because she got injured?

the whole drama is the journey of the two main leas to find their origin, their past. The truth about Yue Jinzhao's origin is revealed somewhere in eps 30. The hint is he had no past

The title of the movie associate with their fond place to mark their love to each other. It is also the message of the drama (the very last message in eps 40) that they wish everyone would find their own happy place and love in life

the original title in Chinese is 乐游原
乐: joyful, happy
游: wander; associate with
原: plain; level country

i don’t use or watch drama on viki. i didn’t watch Yanxi palace. in my opinion, ALP is best in general criteria (acting, plot, visual effect). WOL comes 2nd. i don’t like Royal Feast so much. I. term of acting skill WOL the. AMA - SF6 - ALP are very close to each other

ALP, WOL and AMA were better than The Legend. In term of acting Xu kai did very well in SF6 (as well as WOL)

in the end we know that the egg noddles what YJZ made for Qi had a lot of flaws. Qi knew it very well. However she always told him that she liked his noddles the most. Because the noddles were made by him wholeheartedly and she appreciated his feeling most. She had not known how to express her thought and feeling. She showed it via eating and appreciation his noddles

spoiler about the egg noodles is following this comment

Xu kai said he had to eat a lot of egg noodles during filming. He will continue to eat egg but got trauma of egg noddles
