Im not sure how much you read so I don't want to spoil it all. But firstly, she finds out who her parents are from her Master telling her, when she inquired about her phoenix bead. She knows her dad is sealed inside, but has no feelings, as never met him. She did want to know more about her mother and where her bones are, though. Next, when she sees her dad again:
If it flows with the novel, which it has so far, its gonna be pretty boring with the push and pull until a major…
"I am not him" / acts like him "I can't love you" / keeps annoying her and follows her around "You're engaged, don't be around other men" / Is other man
Can you give a spoiler about the novel ending? Will he change his mind about Shen Li marrying someone else? Do…
They both decided the love was worth it, and he gives up his Ancient God powers to restore peace to the realms, both go back to Xingyun's yard and live happily in the mortal realm, making a full circle just like in the beginning of the story.

Honestly the marriage thing was never a real thing to him, he is so nonchalant about it. If he wanted, he could just cancel it with his authority and no one would say no. He postponed it in case ShenLi doesn't like him anymore, and both sides want to go through with the marriage. The real problem is, even if anyone were to marry ShenLi, it could never be him, since its taboo for Ancient Gods to act on emotions.
So he is currently interjecting himself in her life, figuring out both their feelings, and dealing with the aftermath later. The thing they keep saying will keep coming back, "it's not a matter of whether it is worth it, but a person's willingness to do it".

The story is mainly a love story, so I'll keep that part private. The story plot is, Divine Immortals (Heavenly side) and Demon Immortals (ShenLi side) don't like each other, since there used to be wars over who rules Heavenly realm. So demon side tried to overthrow them 1000 years ago in a major war, which caused Xing Zhi to seal a bunch of monsters in the Xutian Abyss, and made these seals to contain them, which has gotten weaker now. Currently both sides proposed a marriage alliance to further keep the peace, which is what ShenLi is running from when she met Xingyun. So now in the drama, Xing Zhi is back to make the seals strong again.
i am obsessively addicted to this drama but i feel like when the plot starts to get better i cant wait so should…
If it flows with the novel, which it has so far, its gonna be pretty boring with the push and pull until a major event in the middle, then slow again, then a grand finale. Following that, the good middle stuff might happen like eps20-25 ish.
Sometimes I find Xing Zhi odd, but then it fits who he is. The drama helped me understand him better than the novel, where he was just plain weird.
Everyone avoids him since he's literally the highest divine being in existence, so he has this lazy slow flair because really, there's no stimulation from anyone. So he jokes around to get reactions, and people just bend over backwards no matter what, even the emperor with the marriage thing. Then you get ShenLi who challenges him, protects him (who never gets protected!), gets flustered by him, and genuinely liked him. After 30 years of missing her, it makes sense he went to find her first, seek her out, and keep on bothering her. I think Lin Gengxin nailed his expression when he first saw her again and she came towards him.
The previous emperor created powerful monsters to attack the Divine realm, and Shenli's dad is one of the monsters created, and her mom was one of the followers of the "bad side" you can say. Shenli is actually part monster. (thats why the fox demon who died was like "I see." when she slayed him powerfully). Xing Zhi was there a thousand years ago creating and sealing the Abyss, which "killed" her dad and mom, then her master took the baby and raised her (shenli). The drama did play up the antagonistic behaviour from her master, though. Not as drastic in the book, since revealed in the end.
The ML has always been honest even if he's a jokster. He admits he likes toying with her, and that he's a good person. Irrefutable from Xingyun to Xingzhi.
