Because it wasn't promoted at all and not a lot of people knows about it
Iirc AvenueX is a fan of ZYL from My Roommate is a Detective, she had only great words to say about that drama. Knowing her style, she's a bit lenient for dramas starring her faves, and this drama isn't bad. About her bias she said first and foremost that her reviews are subjective.

Not surprised, this is from the director of A Familiar Stranger and The Killer is Romantic. This director is already popular among mini dramas for his great shooting and ability to make a pretty drama within little budget.
There is lots of focus and emphasis on the bromance here much more than the movies I almost feel this is a danmei masquerading as a wuxia I think danmei BL cravers can watch this after the disappointment of A League of Nobleman. Just ignore the romance line if you don't like it
Caught up to episode 12 because so many recommendations from other sites, I have to say MZY owns the drama, I enjoyed her performance. Will there be more fight scenes for her? That one fight scene has cringeworthy choreography.
Unpopular opinion, I think ML looks too old to be in a costume rom-com like this.
I heard this drama is by CCTV and Tencent. CCTV drama normally don't promote until it's about to air. It seems…
Lol fine up to you. Just for record Xianxia shows always have the highest budgets because they have lots of CGI compared to wuxia or palace. Fox Fairy use the latest LCD technology.
Wuxia with highest budget recently is Blood of Youth and it's only 200 million with all the CGI and costumes(this is S level) so 300 mil for wuxia is quite expensive.
5 years in real life
10 years in the series
5 years in real life (WL born 1999, ZYT born 1994)
So ZYT is 2 years younger than DLRB
and 4 years older than ZLS
