I dont understand how the side characters have more screen time than the leads in this show. That is why Yang Zi wanted to get away of this mess. Very shady directing

I agree with everything you said.

And it seems he is as bored as us with broken lamp

I didn't watch the clips, but I have this theory, and it makes sense with what you say, that the marriage showed by the mirror will happen but the FL does not look like a happy bride, so I think she will marry him to save the ML or the Moon Tribe...It can get annoying if it happens...

I don't think he is afraid of the Emperor because of him, but because he knows he can't protect her from him, but, yes, I do agree with you that he is heavily brainwashed and follows the heavens rules with eyes closed. It is really too soon to judge both the ML and the SML, we still have only one or two dimensions of them explored in the drama, maybe in the future we can understand the prequel of the current state, maybe the SML can also discover the truth and open his eyes, we don't know yet...since it is very different from the novel, we can only keep watching and see for ourselves.

I do think trying to seduce the Heaven's Sovereign is a big crime, but the Emperor seems to be using her and purposely gave her a "lighter" punishment. Zhixi was really stupid tho, to let her keep her memories means she would also keep means to get strong again. But as we seen on this drama, Zhixi is not exactly a very smart fairy.

There is many Chinese novels with the ML being the bad guy, domineering, easy to anger and so, but Chinese dramas usually adapt these characters to a more cold than bad type of guy, and I’m happy they didn’t do it here, the ML is bad, he is domineering, it’s like the wolf and the sheep, and I like it a lot.

I see a little bit different than you. The ML is the devil, domineering, some yandere vibes, and I love that. He can destroy the enemy camp because he is the bad guy, he does not care for other people only for himself and his girl. The SML is a hero, he is righteous, although he loves her very much, he can’t let innocent die, the ML knows that and uses it against him. I don’t think this is about love less or more, it is about being righteous or not. I wouldn’t feel like a guy killing everybody to be with me is love, I wouldn’t like the guy that love me to let people die if he can save them. The SML has boundaries the ML no, because of his evil nature. I like the ML to be the bad guy, is very refreshing and I’m shipping him with the girl, but I feel for the SML because I know he is suffering and he loves her too.

I was looking forward to see more of Tang Zhou and Yan Scenes, or at least a little progress in their relation, but I think too much screen time to Yumo turned me off. I don’t dislike the character like some people already do, but I think his scenes are boring, and now to make it worse the Lamp will be with them too so we will probably watch even less scenes with the leads alone...

Honestly, being very honest really...I didn’t like today’s episodes very much because...

Ngl the CGI here looks better than Marvel’s movies. Best CGI in a Cdrama I can smell the money they spent on this, truly feels like S+++ drama

ME! Wow someone thinks like me! Hahahahaha I thought “maybe is the same director or designer or something” the aesthetics really gives me Bloody Romance vibes

Tang Zhou why so sour? Hahahaha

Even the whales are becoming a trope in Xianxias now hahahaha

Second lead syndrome is hitting hard here because they gave the "male lead path" to the other guy. He is like "Baijue" here

Why the sword spirit can’t be more specific? I mean, just tell him straight “boy you are here on a mission forget this sect bullsh*t

Count me in! Because Xianxia is the best genre and I don’t care who says otherwise 😂

I said before in another comment, the guy that play so the sword spirit, he is so interesting with so little screen time, imagine if he was Yumo, what do you think? And he gives me fish vibes hahaha
