I'm not gonna lie, I was really looking forward to his drama. I'm a huge fan of Ju Jingyi, and when I saw the trailer that she was going to play as some bad, evil character I got so excited. Little did I know that she plays that bad character for like 5 minutes in the first episode. Ju Jingyi's acting skills literally haven't improved. When Ju Jingyi plays as Yang Caiwei, it's very obvious that she plays the role differently. Like it just doesn't feel like. As the original girl who played Yang Caiwei, she did a way much better job. If Ju jingle had stuck to her original Shuanguan Zhi, maybe I would have liked it a little better.
The drama started off pretty interesting, and as I continue to watch, the show starts to get really boring. They add to many characters and bring up lots of past stories of side characters that aren't relevant. Ju Jingyi's acting is just unbearable and it's really not worth your time. Your better off watching Novoland Castle in the Sky, Ju Jingyi's acting skills were way better other there.

I’ve seen a couple of clips of this show on Chinese tiktok and it really made me want to watch it so I did. The story moves pretty fast and it’s also a it confusing as to what the plot of the story is really telling. I love how Hua Qian tries her best to turn the tables and change how the story ends. The drama does a really good job of adding in some mysterious parts like why Hua Qian keeps smelling that scent even though there is no I sense and then we learn that this entire drama was honestly just a dream. The drama also does a really good job of explaining that once you change history. Change anything, change everything.
The ost of the drama is actually pretty good. This is probably one of those dramas where I really only had to hear the song once or twice to really enjoy and like the song. The costuming is a little strange, I’m not used to seeing how these people are dressed. But overall a pretty good and short drama to watch and love.

I didn’t know what I was expecting at all, the story was vey well designed and everything flowed perfectly, there were scenes where it needed to be happy and scenes where it needed to be sad. The cast was wonderful, I don’t think it could have been any more perfect. Costuming, props, effects, was great. The story is designed in a way where it is very simple to understand. The comedy only made this show even more enjoyable, I’m very impressed that most of the main leads didn’t have a voice actor but used their own voice. I really appreciate how they made the backgrounds and settings look beautiful. There were lots of crying scenes for me personally. And I don’t think I can move on from this drama for a while.
Complaints:
1) I personally don’t like how in this fantasy drama with different realms, the mortals are involved in this. Most shows like Ashes of Love or Eternal Love, the immortals don’t bother with the mortal because it’s not proper since it could cause chaos, so most immortals don’t stick into business of the mortals. However, we got mortals entering the heaven and demon realm, which makes me kinda upset.
2) Even after the 2 sisters entered the wrong realm, I still don’t understand why the heaven realm and demon realm wants mortals as their princess consort, like mortals don’t live long, and immortals and demons like for long periods. So it doesn’t make sense to me why they are being betrothed to realms when people live for a very long time.
3) Because the princess are mortals, it makes them powerless. They can do anything when people bully them because they have to cultivate powers, and we barley see them use their powers, even though they are learning how to cultivate.
4) The costumes could have been better for Qingheng and Ziwu. They looked so thin and skinny wearing their clothing, and what makes me even more mad is, those 2 people are immortals yet they are weak. I rarely see them use their powers either, even though they are literally immortals. Qingheng is only powerful when it was during the war, but other than that, I felt like the show just made those 2 siblings weak.
However, I think this show is a drama full of laughter and tears, I really love their love story. I think Chen Xingxu really pulled off his acting skills as Shaodian Youqin and I'm very impressed.

The cast and acting was great. I have to give a lot of credit to the acting especially. Since the king played a very good role when he swapped bodies with Da Xi, I think both roles did great acting the body switch roles. Costuming was the best. They mostly wore one outfit throughout the entire show, and idk what’s up with the maid hairstyles, I don’t think the show put a lot of time into the costuming.
The ending is also a bit confusing, I don’t understand the entire situation with the controlling dreams and Da Xi being the queen of another tribe, and Ji Man not remembering who Da Xi is, that part didn’t make a lot of sense.

To begin with the storyline was very good overall, I loved the characters, especially He Lanjun’s personality. His sarcasm and his and the fact he’s really bold really makes the cherry on top to this whole show. I love the scene when he see Pei Yuntian and they are enemies yet they are very very sarcastic around each other. Su Lianyi on the other hand was kinda like she was gluing herself to the male lead and I didn’t really like that.I also love how this show revolves on around mini stories. When it started with princess Yong Ning’s problem to The Yun family, to Tai Ping, and competition with another state/country on makeup and beauty. It makes the show a bit more interesting to watch.
Why it wasn’t 10/10:
The ending was that good, although it was sort of like a last episode thing where a bunch of things happen right before the final episode and you don’t know if all problems will get solved on the last episode making it look like there might be a season 2. I hated the fact I didn’t get to see them get married tho.

It's scary but not scary at the same time. Like it's not scary because it, not horror, there's no monsters, demons, ghosts, etc. but what makes it scary is that there's a lot of crimes and murder, and we don't know where this girl comes from. She is like the half-human, half-demon. I'm someone who gets scared VERY easily and hates scary things, but this show isn't as scary as it seems. This girl is basically representing karma.
The only thing it lacks is the storyline. Every episode is like a new book. Like episode one has nothing to do with episode two. So there's not really a specific storyline because of that. I really enjoyed this show. Like everything I watched was nothing as I had expected. Another thing it lacks is the ending of each episode. They are all cliffhangers. At the end of most of the episodes, it just leaves us hanging, it doesn't really tell us what will happen next.

What I think happened at the end (read if you want to)
So in the comic, Xiao Wu dies, but I think since it left us with a cliffhager, I think that Xiao Wu might have killed herself, so Tang San could get anothersoul ring.
My questions:
Is it possible for a person to have like 5 soul rings, and lets say they have 2 yellows, 2 purple, and 2 blackish-blue, is it possilbe for them to like get rid of a yellow one, and get a better soul ring? Cause when we saw Bi Bi Dong's rings, she had 1 red one on the top, and the rest were all the blackish-blue ones, so how was she able to not have a limit?

Bei Weiwei's fashion sense in this movie is horrible. Xiao Nai isn't that good-looking. Even Meng Yiran's character is so different. In the show, Meng Yiran is a shy girl who is scared to go to Xiao Nai because she's scared of what he will think of her, Meng Yiran is also a rich girl. As the Meng Yiran in the movie has no sense in fashion either and she is straight-up obnoxious and is full of confidence and tries to get Xiao Nai's attention which I find very disturbing.
The biggest thing that makes me so mad is the settings. The movie looks like they didn't care for the setting at all. The backgrounds look like they didn't give enough effort. The Place where they had the dinner, when the characters all meet Weiwei for the first time in the show, that place looks super expensive. The one in the movie just looks like a small bar place.
I don't know why I even watched this. It was just a copy of the other show and overall wasn't good.

The show started out kind of slow. This show is like a combination of Eternal Love and Ashes of Love. I honestly really liked it. My favorite characters would either be Wu Zhiqi or Tengshe. I feel like those two could have honestly been biological brothers. I think that they had too many misunderstandings which caused them to break apart multiple times. The only thing that didn't make sense to me was, the fact that I originally thought that as a Dijun, they are supposed to have more power than the Heavenly Emporer, because in Eternal Donghua Dijun had more power and his status was higher than the Heavenly Emperor. I don't know maybe that's just a "Love and Redemption" thing. I had a few questions about the ending.1)Whose child was Sifeng holding? If it's theirs, then how did Sifeng and Xuanji have a child before Linglong and Mingyan?
2) Where in the world were Wu Zhiqi and Zihu, like I didn't see them at the party at the end?
3) How come I didn't see Ah Lan (the girl in red, who took care of Sifeng after Sifeng left Xuanji, and she went to find him) at their wedding either?
