I don't view him as a priest nor a demon hunter.

I came across the episodes on You Tube

She's actually not the cute and flirty type. Her cute and flirty appearance if that's how it comes across to some is merely a tool. Ep. 1 opened up with Cat Lord fighting demons, then returning to Ruyi Pavillon as Wu Zhen, who can beat up any man and does. Her character is quite unique in Chinese dramas. She's so many things. She's actually having a very nice side to her too, in the novel, she is very kind.

actually, Xu Kai has amber eyes. There is reddish tone to it but the amber really shines in the light. Depending on the light, it may look brown or light brown, but in the light, the color is more magical. Also, he has played comical roles, not just cold ones. AMA is not a cold role at all, an extremely impulsive and romantic character, like he's rich and he has a grand piano outside, and he plays for her and wishes her Happy Birthday but it's not her Birthday, it's a secret code of love.

I don't' know if you read the novel but the subtle details you picked up on Mei Zhuyu matches the novel describing his presence around her so well. That means Xu Kai is doing a good job then.

It was truly love at first sight. In the novel, he stumbled upon her bathing outdoors—perhaps in a spring—while chasing demons. The moment caught him off guard. He was completely struck by her beauty, like being pierced by Cupid’s arrow. But he never told anyone.

Perhaps it is replaced by the dramatic moment in Episode 1—when she kicked the Marquis out the window, causing a commotion. Mei Z. stood up, turned his head, and looked up at her. His stare lingered, like he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

I love how some viewers notice the subtle shifts in the meals Mei served when Wu Zhen came. At first, the dishes included meat—something the Taoist likely didn’t eat before. The food spoke volumes about his emotional state, his sacrifices, even if he was not physically showing it. But then she stopped coming. The meals changed. He had spent all his money fixing the road so she would come, and now the meals are worse than before because he spent everything he had, on the meat, on the road. That’s why I don’t pay attention to ratings. Some people really watch. Others just want to rate and move on.

how tall is snake lord?

I found it on Douban. perhaps if you have a way to watch the variety show, it was discussed. I'll try to watch for clip of it. I'm sure someone will upload it and add subtitles.

I wonder why he's so easily startled, but at least he's very cute and charming when he is

I love cute comments like yours

I don’t view her role here as comedic, even though there are funny moments. It’s primarily a serious role. The comedy is carried by Mei Si and others. Don’t let the humorous or flirty scenes fool you—she’s not playing comedy in the traditional sense. This role gives her the opportunity to showcase her acting range.

Wu Zhen is a multifaceted, complex, and deeply layered character. The actress has to bring out all these different sides, and she does so brilliantly. Wu Zhen is fascinating precisely because of how her performance reveals the character’s depth.

he said more than a year

What planet are you from?

I don't' know which scene or what context, but could she be saying something similar to "follow your heart." Sometimes in life, you look back and wished you took some risks and do what you really wanted to do, whether it be relationship, job situation, education, with your children or parents or just yourself.

Oh I found out something interesting but not surprising because Xu Kai has been like this since Story of Yanxi Palace. The actress Qin Lin who played empress said of Xu Kai in an interview in 2018, "Xu Kai has his own ideas."

Episode 6|The famous scene of "Both Secrets" was designed by Xu Kai himself
the scene where she wanted to trade secrets of Wu Zhen if he doesn't kill her

The concept of the "six desires" (六欲, liù yù) originates more explicitly in Buddhist thought but is sometimes referenced in Taoist texts like the Qingjing Jing indirectly. In Buddhism, desires are often linked to sensory experiences, but the Qingjing Jing focuses on desires as disturbances to spiritual purity without enumerating them. Based on Taoist and Buddhist traditions, the six desires are typically understood as cravings or attachments arising from sensory or mental engagement, but their exact definition varies.

Six desires” (六欲)might be sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and thought or eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind and are rooted in Buddhist philosophy. Many classical Chinese texts—especially those from the Tang and Song dynasties—blend Taoist and Buddhist ideas. Moonlit Reunion is set in Tang dynasty period.

The above version is from drama which I used google translate (it mentioned six)
The below version is closer to the original Qingjing Jing,
Desires do not arise,
The mind remains still,
The spirit is purified,
Heaven and earth align,
The formless transcends form,
All things rest in harmony,
The mind is clear and calm.

I think Mei Zhuyu was still having trouble even after reciting it over and over again, he can't get it out of his mind. He thinks he had a dream.

Mei Zhuyu trying to suppress his disturbance after Wu Zhen gave him mouth to mouth treatment, recite Tao scripture

The six desires are not born
The mind is not disturbed
The human heart is naturally calm
The heaven and earth are one
the form has no form
all things are not disturbed
the mind is pure and calmed

it's expected. it happens every time

the little girl who looks like she just came back from the dead sitting there lifeless and looking ghostly on a swing with no expressions, it's haunting like what a neighbor would up in their front porch to scare kids on Halloween night and with eerie music

no not late! every day they filmed during sleeping hours like they leave set when people are getting up in the morning, they do it for 28 straight days, then switch back to normal hours;
I think they look amazing without makeup and being filmed super close up too.
