Is this drama worth watching?

This drama takes place in a fantasy world where there are gods, devils, demons, humans and immortals.

The drama has a naughty sweet chief of Chaos and a coldly reserved God of Fire as the main CP.

Storyline: The plot is tragically abusive and amazingly beautiful. The couple faced setbacks and inner conflict with their goals. It can be described as, you are the only one who cannot die. The plot was stretched a lot near the ending and some scenes were not really necessary. There were many loopholes and there were few logical points. Shanggu, as the chief of chaos, was to shoulder the three realms and be responsible for the peace. Shanggu is upright and sympathetic to the lives in the three realms.

Music: Honestly, the music is amazing and brings emotions to life. The lyrics are not bad and the timing that the music is inserted into the drama is lowkey. Not much to say because I'm not an expert in the music area.

Acting: Zhou Dong Yu (Shanggu) portrays Shanggu as a childlike god who was naughty growing up with Yuemi (Luo Qiu Yun) and Tian Qi (Liu Xue Yi). She shows how Shanggu changes throughout the story and how she deals with incoming obstacles. Xu Kai (Bai Jue) plays Bai Jue, one of the four true gods who is coldly reserve. During the beginning, his acting was stiff but as the drama continues, his acting felt normal and even a bit endearing. His character had noticably changed as the episodes go by. His eyes were the key part in every emotional scenes. The two actor's chemistry was respectfully amazing with the drama casts.

One thing I liked about this drama was the tragic scenes of the tribulation of chaos. The emotion of sadness and heartache was terribly bad but their acting was very convincing and well portrayed. The long lasting effect of the tribulation of chaos made me feel like there was nothing that could've changed the outcome. This felt like a huge weight was pressing down on my heart as I watch Zhou Dong Yu continue acting in the drama.

One thing I disliked was the ending. (Not gonna spoil it but I felt that the protagonist halo was so annoying and the ending wasn't really happy or satisfying.)

Honestly, this review was a bit critical because I just finished episode 49 and the ending has influenced me to write some disturbing loopholes/negative side of the drama.

I do love their storyline and character development. I still do recommend this drama if you enjoy watching Xianxia dramas and Ten Miles of Peach blossoms. This is like a shared universe of Ten Miles of Peach blossoms which was a nice to reminisce and remember some familiar names.
