The only one I felt sorry for was his wife, his unborn child, WenXiao’s dad, WenXiao and the co-worker. This…
They were indeed the innocents in this and died because of his bad and selfish choices.
I think Wen Xiao was chosen because she lost her father to a demon, but still wasn't prejudiced against them. Hence showing that her heart is kind and pure. It's similar to how Zhu Yan saw a human hurting demons, but still chose to believe that not all humans are that horrible and vicious. His heart is also very kind. That's one of the biggest similarities between them. It's even more evident when you see how others around them react to similar situations. Zhuo Yi Chen starts out very prejudiced against demons, because a demon killed his father and brother. Pei Si Jing is also the same, because of what happened with her brother. And so is Bai Jiu. It's their eventual interactions with Zhu Yan and him showing them that not all demons are evil that they turned around and changed their opinions. Li Lun went completely off the rails as well and started hating all humans.
I was fully prepared to at least feel a little sorry for Wen Zong Yu, even though he's a despicable human being. Turns out his hate for demons is completely misplaced. He blames Long Yu for killing his wife and child, but is failing to see that it was his fault to begin with. He tried to scam Long Yu so she would give up her scale while fully aware that it would kill her. What did he expect she would do when she found out? Thank him for playing her and willingly die?
I'm pretty late to give an answer and you probably received much more interesting points of view, considering…
I'm currently on episode 28 and I think it was episode 27 when I decided to stop overthinking.
I wholeheartedly agree that his specialty is characters and the bonds between those characters. He also has a talent for building worlds, but plot details tend to take a step back. It's all about which plot holes you can ignore and still enjoy the story. Some people will not be able to ignore them and drop the drama or hate it, but others will overlook them in favour of the multitude of positives about this drama.
I'd say I'm in the second group. I've become attached to the wonderful characters, so I'm ignoring the plot holes.
lolol to me it’s a plot hole. I still don’t understand why he didn’t go after Fei for hurting his ShenNv…
As I mentioned in my comment, I know that killing Fei would not cure the plague , but seeing as even Fei didn't know that, means that Cheng Huang would also not know it.
Cheng Huang is a demon much more powerful than Fei, if he wanted to find him, he should have had no problem to. Also, Fei was only locked up much later, when a new Baize Goddess was in power.
I have that same question, the tree grew for 300 years but she never aged, she is human, not a demon or mountain…
I thought The Classic of Mountains and Seas was basically like an encyclopedia. So it does mention the mythological beast Bai Ze, but the fact that it basically killed itself to turn it's powers into a token and grant it to a human and a demon was an original idea for this drama. It's not like a detailed novel with explanations. If anything, it's even less detailed than any dramas based on it.
I wonder if there's a translated version of that book.

Or to heal her. Because even Fei thinks that breaking his demon core will heal the plague. So instead of killing a bunch of innocent demons, he could have just killed Fei. It would not have helped, but logically should have been his first demon kill.
Q26"The End of the Year Drama Challenge is back for its fifth year! This is the 2024 edition with new and old…
I've mentioned this before, but I'll say it again. Strong Girl Namsoon. It's a 2023 drama, but I only watched it this year, so I guess it counts. I didn't even finish this one and it says a lot, because I've watched a lot of dramas, but I have only ever dropped 4 dramas.
