Yes! EXACTLY! the humans are definitely the biggest enemy in this drama.

I agree with everything you have said and same! I also liked how they have reacted towards the current situation they faced. I find it realistic.

This drama is definitely telling us that not all demons are bad. Some of them just want freedom. I am starting to think that the purpose of the whole baize token and goddess has turned into nothing but imprisonment and it is unfair towards the demons. It also contributed to constant prejudice towards them among the mortal world.

Li Lun wanted freedom but he was caged further leading to his resentment and he felt absolute betrayal since Zhu Yan, the one who he considered as a friend sided with the goddess.

It would be interesting to see Wen Xiao gain more knowledge about the demons and maybe, become the first goddess to allow demons to have a choice and discover a new way of protecting the realms without compensating or restraining the freedom of demons.

i think “having the ability to choose” and “choices” is the overall theme of the drama! all the demons we’ve met so far, from ran yi to cheng huang to fei and even zhu yan—the story moved because of their choices. ran yi chose to kill to be with miss qi. cheng huang chose to kill to turn back time and redo his mistakes against the original baize goddess. fei chose to sacrifice his inner core so that qing geng could have her freedom and qing geng chose to stay so that at least one person would remember that fei once existed. as for zhu yan, it’s not about him choosing right now, it’s about him not having any choices 😭

and if “choice” and “choosing” is really the theme of the drama, then having li lun as the villain—someone who is able to REMOVE one’s ability to choose—is really genius!
