Obviously Xu Kai and TXW are perfect in this, so so good, but I wanna show some love to Bao Jian Feng, anytime any drama needs an actual likable/kind emperor, he's the guy. Just like Love like galaxy, he's such a likable emperor.

One thing I hope they keep from the novel is the friendship/sisterhood between the empress and concubine/consort Mei. Seems they have so far as seen in ep 2, but their closeness in the novel is so nice. Would be so refreshing to see an empress and consort that get along, and not hate each other and plot against each other. Looks good so far!

Its not Tencent's fault for this one, the main producer is linmon, they are responsible for global distribution of this

They've changed a lot ngl, almost completely different than the novel. In the novel WZS was a demon disguised as an older like homeless begger looking man, but since they made him young and good looking here it's possible. Honestly, the plot is really different from the novel so he might be, I can't tell know honestly.

Whoever did the styling of Xu Kai and TXW nailed it, XK's hair especially so well done, suits him so well and TXW's style and difference between her demon mode and princess mode is so well done as well. Just overall the style is really pleasing to the eye

Yeh that unfortunate but there's some romance looking symbols, a couple kisses, I just hope overall the relationship stays the same. It was super supportive with no drama in the novel, would be nice if the drama was on the fighting demons side and not on the relationship side

Yeh same, pretty rare for a cdrama of this type to have the ML and FL get married early and have a relationship with no drama's throughout, would be nice if they followed that

For people that want previews, you can try clicking the Tencent video link, it takes you to the Chinese Tencent website where you can watch the previews with no subs. However, not sure if this works for every region/country. But give it a try if you want previews.

Not really no haha I don't blame them the novel was pretty low drama, low angst and only 100 chapters so relatively short. So I guess they needed to add stuff. I don't like to judge dramas based on the novel, have to watch them with fresh eyes you know. But no they aren't really following it in terms of the plot. The characters seem similar in their personalities and stuff though.

In the novel they have an arranged marriage since like chapter 2 and are married super early around chapter 30, drama is different though, not sure how early they'll marry in the drama

No problem, its her cousin Pei Ji Ya, he asked for marriage before, was rejected by FL's dad. He has demonic powers and tries to kill ML a bunch and confess to FL but she clearly rejects him and he leaves. Not sure how closely the drama will follow though but since he's in the drama, I think he will act as 2ml for a bit.

It's only available on WeTV in Indonesia and another asian country someone mentioned in comments I forgot. Linmon doesn't have a single distributor in Europe, they license differently for each drama. Sometimes its on the same platform as mainland china, sometime their own YouTube, sometimes Netflix, or Disney plus or other sites. They make great dramas but are not that great with global distribution sometimes, they make it a bit confusing.

I would but region restricted for me right now unfortunately, I'm traveling right now, I'll watch on there when I return in a week

In the novel he's not a 2ml at all, just a friend and deputy as @whoissilmoy mentioned however there is another character that tries to get with FL and break up ml and fl if you're interested I can spoil for you or if you don't want spoilers all good

Kisskh doing gods work right now having all 5 episodes up, a life saver

Hahah very true crazy airing, I'm sure the 3 days will go quickly right 😂

God damn Linmon, you produce some great cdramas don't get me wrong, but I wish your global distribution was simpler sometimes

It means they release all the remaining episodes as express, so on Wednesday they will release episode 31 like scheduled but also episodes 32-36 to buy, for those that wish to pay to view them early. Often though they end up on pirate sites like kisskh an hour or two later so the express/fast track date is often the end date of a drama on mdl.

Not to mention the hearts and the holding hands! A lot to look forward too

Thank you!
