Agreed. The characters have really made this drama shine

What I love about the ending is that everyone got or will be getting the future that they wanted.

Wudai became the Void King and even though like his father, he's a great warrior, his softer side will balance him out and make him a great and fair ruler. Especially with Lou Luo by his side, who finally got her man.

Qing Heng's abilities were recognized and he became the Heavenly Emperor. In the future, he will hopefully meet his fated Empress and be happy.

Di Lan Jue and Ziwu got married and are having that baby that Yetan was talking about.

With Wudai and Qing Heng taking on the responsibility of ruling, You Qin and Chao Feng will have the peaceful life with Ye Tan and Qing Kui that they have been envisioning for half the drama.

Happy endings all around! 😊

The bond between Ye Tan and Qing Kui was portrayed so beautifully. I was grateful to finally see a strong relationship between sisters for a change.

Agreed. 100%. The Heavenly Emperor and the Void Queen were the two characters I really wished would die and pay for their crimes.

Exactly. I think that's definitely one of the strength of this drama. It's not solely concentrated on the couple and the development of their relationship. There are bonds forming between so many people: bonds of friendship, bonds of family and bonds of love. And all these relationships evolve and change into something very beautiful to see. Chao Feng and You Qin start out with opposing goals, but as the story develops, their goals change and converge. This drama definitely did an amazing job with developing the characters.

Thank you.

Their relationship is definitely adorable. In the beginning, the Emperor seemed to be more comfortable with Chao Feng. He was more comfortable scolding him and treated him like a son-in-law. He felt more hesitant to do the same with You Qin, because of the millennia of respect the Mortal Realm had to show the Heavenly Realm. It was nice to see all of them be comfortable around each other. You Qin and Chao Feng also behave like brothers. They all make a very adorable family.

I agree that he's earning her forgiveness. He failed as a parent before, but he became a supportive father. It's a shame that it came so late, but I did love his admission of it. In one of the episodes he told Ye Tan that he should have done everything he's doing now much sooner. I was really happy seeing Ye Tan receive his affection. She always had Qing Kui. She made a lot of friends along the way who loved her very much. And of course there's You Qin and his unwavering love. But, even though she had all that, it seems that her father's love was still something she was missing. I was so happy she finally had that as well.

Agreed. He deserved a worse fate that the one he got, but I am happy that everyone got to see his true colours and decided to basically cut him out of their lives.

There was one quote from the Human Emperor that I agreed with 100%: "The Void King is ruthless. While the Heavenly Emperor is known to be benevolent, he's a hundred times more ruthless." Just shows that the four rulers were very aware of who the worst of them is.

Just finished watching it and I must say, I already know I will miss these lovely characters.
This drama made me laugh so much, but it also managed to make me cry.

It's undeniably funny and romantic, with a number of well matched couples, but what made this drama shine even more are the characters. Each and every character has their own journey and for each of them their growth and development makes complete sense.

Waiting impatiently for the special episode.

That gift scene..... Li Lan Di has managed to make me cry several times in this drama. The ones that still break my heart are the gift scene and Man Man's death.

To be honest, I wish she didn't forgive her father that easily and that fast. He loved her and there were several scenes that showed he actually cared for her, but it doesn't excuse years of neglect and abuse. However, I do understand it from her point of view and her reaction makes complete sense. She has craved his affection all her life. Even that dream world that was created by the ice curse has him showing her affection, which to me means that that's one of her deepest wishes. The gift scene broke my heart. I was so happy that she finally got to know that her father loved her as much as he loved Qing Kui. I was also happy that from then on, he chose to stand by both his daughters no matter what. He can finally start to make up for his failure as a parent.

The Heavenly Empress did impress me. I kept wishing she would just punch him, but elegant lady that she is, she hurt him in a different way and freed herself at the same time.

They definitely had to use that fruit. I don't see how she could stomach him otherwise. You Qin did a great job protecting his brother and at such a young age already showed more compassion and bravery than his father ever could. It's even sadder that a person like that had to extract his emotions, because they so obviously make him a much better leader. They should just throw the Heavenly Emperor into the Guixu and be done with him. He's not even a good ruler, just a tyrant.

Exactly. Qing Kui could have ended up a spoiled brat easily, but instead the bond between these sisters is so beautiful. I really appreciate how these characters were written.

I do agree with all that you said. He always tried to fulfill his duties while at the same time protect her, which CH would not have been able to do. That's not only the difference in power, but difference in position. Once DFCQ knew that his people would be fine without him, he was free to devote himself to her. Was that ever possible for CH? Probably not.

None of the family members deserve that. I'm not sure if the marriage was arranged, but the Heavenly Empress doesn't deserve a husband like him. Neither do any of of his wonderful children. They show how the Void King rules through fear, but the Heavenly Emperor is exactly the same. He rules through fear and abuses his power when he doesn't get his way. What's more, I can understand it in the case of the Void King. He was the one who unified the Voidwalkers and in the beginning his way of ruling may have been necessary. He just didn't get the chance to change. He's a warrior not a ruler. What's the Heavenly Emperor's excuse? Everything seems to have been handed to him on a platter, but despite that he still hangs his own duties on the shoulders of his son by giving him a title that he never asked for and clearly feared as a child, because he saw his teacher who bore the same title die while trying to repair the seal. It's the Heavenly Emperor's duty to protect the four realms, to lead the immortals and by extension keep the seal in check, but instead of being brave and doing the right thing he forced his son, who was still a child to forsake everything to take over his duties. The way he treats his wife and other children isn't all that better. He's all gentle and benevolent on the surface, but he doesn't seem to actually love any of them.

I ranted a bit too much lol. The more I see of him, the more I hate him.

You were right. After watching the next few episodes, my resentment has turned into outright hate. He's the worst father in the whole drama.

Among the many, many things I love about this drama, I really love that Ye Tan and Qing Kui despite being so different are portrayed as brave and strong. In most dramas, the strong brave character is usually a character like Ye Tan. The calm, collected and elegant characters like Qing Kui end up being portayed as wise and gentle and are treated like damsels in distress. But in this drama both get the opportunity to show their strength and bravery and do their own share of saving others.

Ugh, I wished he would redeem himself, but I guess I never really expected him to. Thank you for the warning. That saved me some stress.

Thank you. I do love interacting with people while watching the drama and sharing thoughts. Different people end up noticing different things and it elevates our experience. So thank you for replying 😊
