It could've been a great drama but it got ruined by too much silly stuff, and that horrible tragic ending.
Chemistry between the leads wasn't strong, they felt more like friends than lovers.
Bingzhou having the power to kill three ancient, powerful demons, it was just unbelievable.
Making his sister come back alive inside the body of the woman, that he was in love with, is so messed up and bordering on incest.
Especially, since they are going to live together and she has said before that she never plans to get married.
Feel sorry for Bingzhou to get such a bad ending.
Hong Ye & Xiao Yao's ending was the worst.
ML is selfish & stupid too. Abandoned the FL to a life of loneliness & broke his promise to be a good husband, as being a martyr mattered more to him.
Dumb move, as the Gods have said that they like to cause chaos & feed of the desires of the humans trying to attain immortality.
When another human prays well enough with devotion to get another God's attention, they may be granted another immortality spring or elixir, or another Kunlun mirror.
The Gods have the power to make another one & there's no guarantee they won't, so the ML's sacrifice is pointless & meaningless.
Hong Ye should've just sealed the mirror with protection spells inside the demon's valley, & lived happily ever after with Xiao Yao.
Very sad that Xiao Yao is abandoned & alone, living the life of a widow, all dressed in white & isolated in the demon's valley, as she wants to avoid the human realm.
Now she's stuck in a sad, desperate state, as she's put herself in a kind of a magical coma as she mentally re-lives the memories of the past, when they were together and happy.
ML has always been a selfish, weak coward. Power got to his head as emperor, & he beheaded people over trival matters without a care.
He's never loved A'mai, just sees her as his object to keep & forced her to be a consort.
Making A'mai empress, will not erase the fact that the ML married & slept with someone else before her. That's what broke A'mai's heart & the ML's sociopath brain couldn't understand, cause he has 0 empathy.
No hesitation in killing officals & casually talking about killing his 1st wife, if it'll provide a quick fix.
He killed Tang Shao Yi , a loyal soilder, simply because he was jealous of his friendship with A'mai.
He didn't have the power to do anything to Chang Yu Qing, so he could only beg her not to leave with him.
Pretty sure ML would rape her if he could, but he knows she's stronger than him & if he used drugs, he'd be killed by her in the future. Fear of being assassinated by A'mai is what kept him from physically forcing her, so he forced the title of consort on her & decided to kill all males that show affection to her.
He's happy for her to remain as a single soilder in the corner of his country, as long as she does not get close romantically to another man. That is a selfish, weak coward of a man with too much power and 0 empathy.
ML even made secret deals with her sworn enemy Chen Qi.
Although tragic, even the enemy Chen Qi & A'mai had a better love story than A'mai & the ML. Not much dialogue but the emotions between them were powerful & raw.
I think there was a real risk of Chen Qi being able to kill her, but by allowing her to kill him, he proved that his feelings of love & care for her were sincere, even if he did kill her father.
She's better off with the Beimo general, they have better chemistry, he actually respects her as a person & never really forced her to do anything.
Kind of an open ending as they don't show us where A'mai went. I'm sure she's going to Beimo to marry Chang Yuqing.
Clues hint to this, she's wearing white & polishing her sword, like Chang Yuqing polishes his long spear. At 39.31, she even wields her sword in a way you would wield a spear. Her sword handle is extra long too, and looks like a long spear on her back as she rides her horse.
Also, when he proposed with his army, he told her not to be so final about saying no, and to think about it. She smiled a secret smile and went back inside. Because she does not want the crazy ML to know she's going to Beimo & start a war. Chang Yu Qing said there will be years of peace now & no wars. So she decided to go get married to a worthy man and enjoy some years of joy in her personal life.
Her trusted men know where she's going & she instructs them to contact her in emergencies. After how she was treated, there is no reason for her to be loyal to Nanxia's royalty, but she will always make sure Nanxia's public are safe & will always defend them in wars.
In the novel, it actually ends with her meeting up with Chang Yu Qing, I'm so annoyed that the drama cut this.
After the drama ended the cast did a live stream together, where A'mai was sure her & the Beimo general end up together. Below is a link to the segment of the live stream, it shows Chang Yu Qing (Wang Rui Chang) saying he will come back to find A'mai and then he laughs embarrassed.
Link below for extra scenes - (at 16.25 there is a scene of them sleeping together in a cave, after he rescued her and he still had his bearded look, lol ).
Some people are being overly sensitive about age gaps, and the real life ages of the FL and the ML.
If it bothers you so much, then don't watch the drama.
There are no laws being broken here, and no one is being forced. The actors willingly signed up to do the drama, and they are just acting.
Age gap is no big deal in a relationship if the couple themselves are okay with it, anything else is just age discrimination.
They even poked fun at the age gap in the drama in episode 11 at 15.30.
Where the FL says if ML wears the black robes, he'll look 10 years older and people might mistake him for her father, or think she married him just for his money.
Zhang Jun Ning, the ML is one of my favourite actors. He works really hard and deserves more lead roles.
Other actors that are 40 and over 40 are playing 20 year olds, despite Zhang Jun Ning's real age, he still looks youthful.
On his weibo, you can see, Zhang Jun Ning, has was been working really hard in the gym.
His body is real, he does not use body doubles, fake silicone body suits or CGI.
He has been working hard for many years in multiple dramas, and on himself too, and he does not deserve to be discriminated against due to his real age.
Top-secret assassination mission intertwined the originally unrelated lives of the righteous heroine Ming Xiao and the sinister leader Yan Changyun.
The heroine failed in her mission and turned into a amnesiac, and was forced to get involved in the hero's revenge plan. The two work together step by step in the undercurrent of the court and in the crisis-ridden areas, clearing up the old injustices.
After all the dust settled, they went from being disgusted with each other to becoming a couple.

So far I am loving this drama, sometimes there is too much comedy involving the side characters, but the main leads and their chemistry is great.

Bisexual exists, I don't mind watching drama that's Bisexual.
I watched Pledge of allegiance (2323), it was a Bisexual drama with the ML in love with the FL and the 2nd ML. The 2nd ML loved the ML and the 2nd FL.
It can work, as long as the plot is good and the ending is decent.
To see the subtitles better, go on the subtitle settings, and increase the background transparency to 100%, and add border to the subtitles.
You can watch here, it's eng subbed.
