This drama doesn't directly connect to the others, but the plot structure is pretty much the same. Here's what I mean:
| It starts with the main lead getting poisoned – and on top of that, he's a skilled swordsman with a solid reputation in the Jiang Hu World.
| The story focuses on solving weird cases, like a mystery?of?the?week format, but with martial arts.
| The characters travel around the martial arts world – lots of wandering, visiting different places, and getting into trouble along the way.
| They gather a group of companions, slowly building a team of friends who fight together.
| Searching for herbal medicine to cure the main lead's poison, which keeps hanging over the whole plot.
| The romance is almost non?existent – the drama barely touches on love. It's almost entirely focused on the friendship between the three main characters.
| Honestly, the three leads in each drama have nearly identical personalities too – like, you've seen one, you've seen the others.

these two drama, both are directed by Guo Jing Ming (GJM) that well-known for his unique drama styles

They're basically set in the same three worlds—demons, hunters, and humans (xianxia/xuanhuan drama type) . Both are used as an vessel that 'resurrecting an evil aura' thing as the central engine. The CGI is gorgeous too—super aesthetic, very distinct. When you think you know where it's going, bam — twists you never saw coming. Oh, and they both have the Baize deity. Both of Baize deity are elegant, sharp, effortlessly smart in both. Love that
