The characters just didn't work for me

This drama is alright, and I sped through lots of it because it got kind of boring. I extremely hated how the imbalance of power was represented, as the QinQiu people seem to be so highly respected that they can ravage heaven whenever they want with no consequence (like when Bai Fengjiu stole the soul-searching lamp).
I love diliraba but I hated the Bai Fengjiu storyline with all my soul. The female character was so weak and immature that even though the ending of her storyline with the emporer was alright, everything else just set it off for me.
I also didn't like how miracles would happen and then characters would brush it off like nothing. God Zhi Yan seemed to be the overall healer and voice of reason, but not many recognized him as that, but instead the owner of the peach blossom forest and very powerful, detached immortal.
The SuSu story was so frustrating to me because of how weak Su Su was and how little YeHua did despite saying he "loved" her. The number of plot holes and how slowly the storyline was going, especially since I knew where it was headed, was increasingly agitating.
The only part about the character's acting I liked was the relationship between Si Yin, 9th disciple, and all the other disciples.
I felt like the relationship between Mo Yuan/Ye hua/Bai Qian was left too open. I also felt no chemistry between the two main actors so it was really awkward when I was trying to watch romantic or serious scenes. Lastly, I feel like Yang Mi and Mark Chao didn't protray their characters with enough dynamic and emotion to move the audience.
