Beautiful yet painful story of Shi Ying!!

The story tells us a painful love story of a master and disciple, Shi Ying and Zhu Yan. Shi Ying, a banished prince from Kongsang kingdom, accidentally meets Zhu Yan, princess of the Crimson clan, before he turns 18,and hence starts a painful yet fated love story with a danger looming to destroy the world.
The visuals were excellent. The special effects and the scenery steal the show. Each and every frame is very spectacular and appealing to the eyes .
The action scenes and costumes were good.
The plot had enough twists and turns, as expexted of a xiania drama.Though there were few scenes where I felt a bit boring, but still the story kept me hooked, since I like watching xianxia dramas.
All the actors did an excellent job. As usual, Xiao Zhan as Shi Ying, is the perfect immortal with an elegant demeanor, so far I have seen in all the immortal dramas. I am really amazed by the different emotions, expressions, moods, pain, love, care, Xiao Zhan, could portray . His body language is very pleasant yet elegant and the depth of emotions he portrays through his eyes, is 💯.His costumes match his attitude. Shi Ying, I will definitely miss you and as I already said, Xiao Zhan never fails in his performance.
Ren Min as Zhu yan and Alan Fang as Zhi Yuan are very good. I also liked Marcus Li as Chong Mong, the divine bird.
Finally, the longest promise takes you on a ride of emotions struggling to make their way through evil schemes and bring justice to the world. But what pained me the most was the character of Shi Ying who never got what he deserved, after going through all the pain and suffering.
A MUST WATCH drama!! Shi Ying, you will be missed!!
