An enjoyable watch, but found it flagged quite often.
Lots of action and a slow burn romance, as a General has a profound effect on the isolated and cold Ghost Queen.
I loved He Si Mu / He Xiao Xiao's character; her indifference was so funny at times, and DD played her perfectly.
Duan Xu / Duan Shun Xi (whom Si Mu, weirdly to me, called Foxy), I often found myself thinking of as too cocky. His unwavering confidence that he would thaw and win the heart of Si Mu, became a bit much, and I found the character too clingy ~ to an extent and in a manner usually assigned to the females in a story!
Being a wuxia/fantasy, there's a selection of characters, especially in the underworld, and the usual great sets, costumes and effects.
There's tragedy, too, of course and some great villains.
I liked the ending; I thought it quite neat. The journey to it was stretched, though, and I got frustrated by how weak some characters could be at crucial moments, that were strong the rest of the time.
Not a bad watch at all, however, with a cast I liked and good acting, but there have been better recent releases, for my tastes.
