Funny and Romantic
If they are any users looking for comedy, romance fantasy, badass female lead, cute couple, reborn, revenge, reincarnation, female lead, romantic, xianxia romance, then this is the right show for you. I recommend this because the story plot is 10/10. This show is about a girl who choose to be kind, save those for good deeds and ended up saving a demon also, known as “demon king’s son”. In the end after saving him from almost being killed, others were against her and told her that she was saving someone who could ruin the entire sects. Although the ending was a little push-over, we can’t blame these hard workers. Once again, have a good day and enjoy this wonderful show!❤️Was this review helpful to you?

Great acting but seriously bad editing
I create an account just for this review. Drama had seriously big potential to be a hit drama with the base storyline that they had until you suddenly get slapped by the really2 bad editing especially in the last few episode.Let's face it, we don't have much of a great badass female character and Lu Zhao Yao just happened to be my favourite. Bai Lu embodied Lu Zhao Yao that I can never see other people play the character. She just has that aura and natural charisma. I wish show had treated that better.
Our Li Chen Lan is, well. I love Xu Kai, deeply throughly with all my heart but wtf did they do to the character???
They had all this awesome pairing by half of the series only to ended up none by the end.
Last few episode would make you wonder wth just happened. Even with the last episode, I was like what???
Some people said they had planned for different ending only to change it at the last minute but what the heck is that? I'm just gonna pretend the last episode didn't happened and we ended with episode 54 in the sword tomb.
Lu Zhao Yao and Li Chen Lan has all the possibility to become the most powerful couple but we don't even get that. After episode 35 or something, Li Chen Lan just become a damsel in distress who often need to be taken care of and Lu Zhao Yao is the caretaker.
And while the drama revolved around Wan Jun sword, we never really get to see what happened to that thing at the end. Like all the powerful power just went away like that????? Seriously??
This poor direction just rob us of all the possibility that could make this (of the drama not the acting) drama a successful one.
I'm saving all the compliment for battle moment of episode 54 when Lu Zhao Yao alone battling with Li Chen Lan demon. Doesn't that make you cry?? The love was overpouring in her eyes, trying to save the man she loves who no longer recognized her. That moment alone, deserved a standing ovation. I feel the hurt she felt. And when she stabbed him, God... The looks on her face is just ... Make me feel all the bad editing and execution quite worthwhile.
Drama worth to watch if you want to see some good acting (and if course Bai Lu and Xu Kai) but please be open to every possibility of getting confused and frustrated over the editing and the weak execution of trying to potray whatever the drama is trying to tell you.

Acting - Main actresses were excellent and rest were good.
Production was excellent with good direction, costumes and fight scenes.
Skipping scenes - Skipped some scenes towards the final third as the story dragged a bit due to the love aspects.
Overall - A good wuxia drama - not too serious. Worth a watch to pass time.

Ok for passing the time.
It started out as boring but I managed to pull through. There are too many unneccessary fillers that I felt made the entire drama long and draggy whereby it actually didnt need 55 episodes to run. FL Bailu, as always, nails her roles. Xiao Yan is also an underrated actress, she was able to switch roles and pull off Bailu’s character. Editing was not very well done towards the end. The last episode was really confusing, lots of missing links from one scene to the next. Also, it would have been better if they actually hired other actors to play the main leads’ children instead of themselves.Was this review helpful to you?
Chemistry the leads share is outstanding❤
I really wanted to review this drama becoz its soo good, this is the first time i m reviewing so please bear with me????...Ok some people might find me biased regarding my ratings but this drama indeed deserves it☺.First of all, the real reason i started this drama was only because the drama's posters looked extremely gorgeous....i had no idea who the casts were since i never saw their previous works but they looked extremely good in their posters photos..so i just started this drama out of blue but who knew that this drama would become one of my most fav dramas of all time.Story: I love the light hearted story of zhao yao, it was not much complicated, everything was smooth....the story is very fastpaced so it got me hyped up without any boring moments, it is one of the rarest drama that i havent fastforwarded because mostly costume dramas i endup fastforwarding...before completing the drama i already read the novel so i knew what was coming, although the production team did change a lot from the original novel but its still good although i would much prefer if they stuck with the original novel at the end,, anyways still it was ok...so i am giving it 10/10 points because i love this story about Demon kings son & demoness unlike many dramas out there who mostly focuses on heavenly stuffs....
Acting : Omg the leads performance were on point..i fell in love with the main lead guy, he is extremely talented...the love he has for our demoness could be seen right through his eyes,there was no need to utter any words, he was that good....The female lead what can i say...she is stunning.....what i love more about this drama is the strong female lead as most of the drama end up giving us weak female which has become intolerable for me now......must say zhao yao is my most fav female leads ever....All the other actors have performed really well...huge round of applaus for all of them????
Music : i saw many of the reviewers gave music very low ratings...but i personally loved all the songs,it really fitted them very well & the opening theme bgm is my fav❤ but they could have added more so i removed 0.5 ????
Rewatchable value : omg yes 100% ❤ i m rewatching it again becoz the leads chemistry is sooo amazing....they looked asif they were indeed in love with each other☺gossshh i get butterflies???? they r one of my most fav couple ❤
Although the editing team screwed up in last few episodes but it didnt bother me much since what i m concerned was my CP's happy ending which they got..So, despite the flaws this remains my fav drama of 2k19 so far❤❤❤❤❤if u havent started or wondering whether it is worth it, o man it definately is worth the watch, go and start now????

Good points
1. Great chemistry between two leads, both Xu Kai and Bai Lu did a pretty good job.
2. Supporting casts are pretty impressive as well, especially Jiang Wu and Qin Zhi Yan.
3. Interesting storyline, and not very bad CGI. The cinematography is nice and costumes that Zhao Yao wore are really beautiful.
4. The character build-up is really innovative. I have never watched a drama, in which both of the leads are portrayed as evil characters.
5. The sismance between Zhao Yao and Zhi Yan is really funny.
The early 35 episodes are really good but after that, the story start getting a little boring.
Bad points
1. The editing is really mediocre, especially the ending. I am not saying whether the ending is good or bad but it was edited really badly. It is really confusing to understand how the story gets from one point to another in the last two episodes.
2. There are so many repetitive flashback scenes in the last few episodes. I accept fillers but not repetitive fillers.
3. It is a lengthy drama, I believe it should be 45 episodes at most.
Overall, thus drama is not very bad considering that the first 35 episodes are impressive. If you love a badass female lead, this is the right drama for you.
You should watch a YouTube video that explains the ending, so that you will get a proper understanding.

This drama is meant for Kailu fans
For those who love to see their chemistry in Arsenal Military Academy, this one might be good to make up for what you missed.It was good on early episodes but getting really draggy on later episodes. I pushed fast forward button a lot while watching. I wish they could make it based on the novel and didn't add too many unnecessary changes to the plot and the characters.
Bailu is a good actress and Xukai isn't bad either. This drama also has a lot of good supporting actors and actresses. The most stand out one is Shane Xiao.
I can't give this drama a high rating because of these factors, but it may be good for Kailu diehard fans.

Xu Kai is so hot, his eyes and smile is to die for. Bai Lu is very pretty, she is a strong character.
I love the romance between the leads, everytime they are on screen together, its captivating and you just want to keep watching. Wish those scenes were extended. Felt like in every period Cdrama these days, leads don’t seem to get as much screen time as the other characters, even when the audience only wants to watch them.
Drama has too many filler scenes which I did not watch and just fast forwarded. The ending also has messy editing which made the drama confusing. Should have just halved the content and watch the leads on screen. Rewatching the lead scenes and listen to OST. Totally addicted to them.

Biased review
Loved it, just simply loved and have watched 4 times already (they wont be the last) . Ive spent the best part of 18 months trawling through kdramas/films, chinese dramas/films for characters and a story like this (i found this gem about 8 months ago). A powerful female not turned into a mans puppett and a demoness (or called that at least). Yeah the body double part does kinda make this show a bit hard to take but she remains at least a bit evil through that. Demons win and the so called rightous side finally bloody lose, whats not to love about this. Lead actress is stunning when dressed up as well.Was this review helpful to you?

The first half of this show was really good and quite addictive. I loved to see how Zhao Yao and Chen Lan met each other and became really close and how Zhao Yao went from a naive little girl to a powerful feared woman. It was such an interesting journey to follow!After she woke up again, it was even more interesting to watch. Though I hate any kind of misunderstandings, this one wasn't unbearable to watch, even after a few episodes. The way she wanted to kill Chen Lan but wasn't able to was honestly cute. Those moments when Zhao Yao was invisible and had no idea Chen Lan knew about her were so sweet and melted my heart. I couldn't wait until they met each other for real.
But after Zhao Yao was able to get her face back, it wasn't that captivating anymore. Both Zhao Yao and Chen Lan only cared about each other and all their actions were for one another, even when their own sect was having so many problems. And to be honest, I hate those kind of relationships. It feels like they don't think anything else matters and it starts being repetitive.
After the 50th episode, nothing made sense. The last battle was awesome to watch and I thought about raising a bit my rating because of it, but it got balanced for those flashbacks or whatever those scenes were. It's not even possible to understand what was happening without having so many doubts.
Finally, props to Jiang Wu, Gu Han Guang and Tang Yun 'cause they were the best characters here and no one can convince me otherwise.

Love both the fl and ml
I watch this because both the female lead and the male lead is my favourite character.Their acting is super good and hope to see more drama of their cooperation again.
The chemistry between both the male lead and female lead is so good.
This is one of the best Chinese drama that I have ever watch.
The supporting character jiang wu, although he is so so bad and evil, however in the end because of zhao Yao, he changed and we can see the other side of him :)
If you love romance and wuxia Chinese drama, then this is for you
