Superb production for a lousy story

The cast is fantastic, the visuals - outstanding. Costumes, CGI, music - a real feast. And all this is completely wasted to tell a lousy story with way too many subplots, secondary characters, turns and twists. There is just too much of everything in this narrative: going back in time, visitors from another world, amnesias, fake identities ... you name it. Unfortunately, all of those elements are just thrown down and scrambled without any consistent, premeditated order.
And in the middle of it all you have Luo Yunxi playing superbly, looking so handsome, doing his awsome ballet with weapons and getting such an unsatisfying story line. He could've had a meaningful relationship with a girl, but no - she left. He could've had a meaningful bromance with Fang Yilun, but no - all the moments they have together are way to brief and there is just no time to develop this plot in depth, because of lots of other secondary narratives. He has a group of friends but finally is unable to save any one of them, so the only thing to do is reset the timeline and just disappear from their lives.
What a stupid, anticlimactic ending for LYX.
I am really sorry for him, because he is such a fantastic actor, so fitting to play in costume dramas (like he was born in hanfu), but he is so often wronged by the script.
