Great show!!
Awesome casts, OST, actors and plot!Love Chen Xing Xu, he was able to pull off different characters. Li Landi is great as well.
My first xianxia, and I think it is one of the best already.
Good thing is that they used their own voices, which made the show so good.
I would like to see more of the soul shards. Lamu is so cute, Heartless was cunning, Wenren is so beautiful.
The rest of the cast performed great as well.
Even their chemistry off screen is great. No awkwardness, just pure good vibes and professionalism.

Great show
- production set up is great, love their outfits and the interior of their palace/mansions.- pacing is alright for me since I binged watch the episodes. No room to speculate different scenarios.
- YangYang's look is so fitting for costume drama. His acting is appropriate with his character. He's closed off and disciplined the way a prince and a martial artist should behave. He's emotional when a scene needs for him to be vulnerable.
- ZLS is lovely and badass on this show. I respect her hardwork with the stunts. Her youthful looks does not affect her overall appeal to takeover as a queen on her state.
- As a casual watcher, BFX's character exposure is just in line with the way the story progressed. Overall story revolves around power struggle where ML's family is more peoblematic, so I expected the setting will rely more on ML's side.
- I enjoy palace politics with a mix of action so this is just right for me.
If you are one of those who will now start watching this series , you can try to set aside the narrative between the novel and the drama. Immerse yourself on the show's settings and not for the actor/actress' bias. Also, you can try to not be engrossed with the production crew's personal issue. I just noticed these factors affected the viewing experience of some viewers.
more cdramas to enjoy this year :)

Don't hesitate, try to watch it first.
I completely understand that there might be people who are uncomfortable with some of the themes that were discussed on this series, but I encourage you guys to give this a try.Li Cheng and Muren has one of the healthiest relationship I ever watched on a bl series. The progression of their relationship is enough reason to stick with this until the end. The support Muren gave to Licheng as a mentor when they started off as collegues, the way Licheng is always protective to Muren as a bestfriend, to them becoming intimate lovers.
Stepbrothers' storyline is a bit hard to discuss, but after watching the entire series, you can be sure that whatever ending they had were consensual, they both wanted it, their parents learned to accept it, so who are we to meddle?
The OSTs are also worth to listen to. They add the right amount of feels for the important scenes.
The acting of all the casts are on point. You can also see their dedication from the behind the scene footages.
I started binged watching this after ep 5 release, then I always look forward to the next episodes, and I had no regrets. Love Licheng and Muren so much :)
