If you came here for Bai Lu and Zhang Linghe, I suggest you leave right away. The show didn't really focus on the love between the 2 which I didn't really mind. I'm at least glad that the entire drama didn't revolve all around love. You don't really see any chemistry between the main leads until like past episode 20.There are some characters that I just loved throughout the entire show. Not only their looks but they managed to pull off the acting of their characters so well. I love the princess's personality and this is my first drama I've seen her act but she did a really good job, and her personality is pretty hard to despise. Yan Lin also did a spectacular job. It just such a pity that they didn't end up together. I feel like Jiang Xuening shouldn't have wasted so much time with Zhang Zhe if she was going to end up leaving him.
The story also took a lot of time to explain what was going on. Basically it's a simple and basic plot. Empress Dowager's family has a lot of power in the court, and wants to take over. That is literally the plot, and Jiang Xuening gets reincarnated will all her knowledge in her past life as empress to stop all bad things from happening.
The show was mid, wasn't super good but not too bad., there are like literally 2 kissing sceneces betwwen the main leads and that's about it.

The main leads did great on acting. The support leads were also fun to watch. The drama ends how it starts. Not too bad. There wasn’t any music to it, and I loved how the main leads started off with hating each other but then ended up falling in love.
However during the late teens episodes, the story is kinda slow.

I wanna say I'm fairly kinda disappointed at this show. The first beginning couple of episodes were decent but then it gets boring. The story moves fast and everyone thinks Wei Lingyue is the phoenix. After we figure out that it is actually Wei Zhi, I don't know why she went to hide away. Instead of figuring out why the demons were "hunting her", she just runs away with her master.What makes the story a little worse, is there is no explanation to anything. I'm still confused what Hua Rong, I'm still curious as how this phoenix even started. In one episode Mu Nan tries to kill Wei Zhi, to force Wei Lingyue to come out the door. Like if Mu Nan likes Wangyue, and Wei Zhi and Wangyue have the same appernce, then Mu Nan should have already known that Wei Zhi is the phoneix.
The story is a little complicated and the ending makes no sense. And I'm so tired of seeing Ju Jingyi wear literally the same style every drama.

I feel like I have wasted my time watching these 7 episodes, I have suffered enough pain. There is no structure to this drama at all. The drama is honestly just crashing on Peng Xiaoran’s popularity after “Goodbye my Princess”. You can see the costumes are very similar yet even the base of the story is similar to Dong Gong.The biggest complaint I have is the cast. Now I think it’s the age gap between the two leads that male it very hard to continue to keep watching. Um like 12 years, really, I don’t know what’s going on in Chinese dramaland nowadays. I would have shipped Peng Xiaoran with the second male lead.
This is just a no for me, I wish I didn’t continue to watch this drama.

Not sending any hate to the cast, the cast was pretty good. For an example, Dilireba is one of China's top actresses, and so is Yang Yang, so putting these two top stars will most likely put this show on trending. I don't hate either of them, but I also don't watch a lot of their dramas. They aren't my favorite actors, but it's just the storyline and everything else was really bad to this show.
I will most likely not come back to watch this. I am more of a historical drama watcher, as it is more interesting to me. I will also say that, so far, to all the Dilireba's drama's I've seen, I'm kind of disappointed. My first show of her's was Eternal Love (Three lives, three worlds, ten miles of peach blossoms) that show was very good, then I watched Eternal Love of Dream, The Long Ballad, and this show. I didn't like any of those shows, so I'm disappointed, this drama wasn't really any different.

And what on earth does it mean by "immortals", these people are not immortals at all, in my opinion it just seems like a small sect learning to cultivate powers to get rid of evil. Because real immortals don't interfere with mortals, and its impossible for a mortal to become one. Pfft, all you got to do is take a test and you can become an immortal and learn powers. They are not immortals but just a sect that's learning to cultivate power.
For some reason, I've watched 2 dramas with Yang Chaoyue, this being the second and I don't have anything agaisnt her, but she plays the role that somewhat just makes me hate her role. There's nothing special about it, and I've watched about 14 episodes and nothing makes sense to me what so ever.
Not a good drama.

This is a rant
Ok wanna start off with, wth happened. Like I know I’ve only seen like 5 episodes of the entire show, but this entire part 2 is just so absurd.To start off the cast was absolutely trash, alright I’m not a fan of Yu Shuxin, but her acting as Tian Jingzhi doesn’t give me the same vibes as Wu Qian. The cast is different, like we’re adding in new characters that we don’t need, Xuanxuan and aye Chen disappears.
What’s up with Mike Angelo acting skills, he portrayed Xue Lingqiao so poorly. Like the entire “call me father” and “call me grandpa” scene between Xue Lingqiao and Yun Zhen is so fake like the Xue Lingqiao from season 1 would never ever say anything that cringy. From what I know Xue Lingqiao is a very serious person and doesn’t like to joke around, I don’t who Mike Angelo was playing as, but it’s definitely not Xue Lingqiao.
Also what’s wrong with Yun Zhen, like he’s begging Tian Jingzhi to date him yet he’s partying and has like 10 other girlfriends. The only thing that I was impressed was getting the original actor for Li Yanzhi and Feng Dongdong back, and the house that Tian Jingzhi lives in, though on the outsides it looks completely different but on the inside it’s completely the same just with a few modifications.
Other than that, watch season 1 and make up a story for season 2 on your own, don’t even bother watching this show. Never gave a drama this low of a star rating.

There wasn’t too many roles and not a lot of outfits. There also weren’t many crew members which can be seen on the last episode, so you wouldn’t really expect a lot from this drama. The story picks up a bit around episode 7 and then it story starts to head down around episode 15.
There’s no need to watch this drama again, unless you just really like the main leads.

Now the cast is great, but right off to the start, we have Luo Yunxi’s character who loves to play video games and I have absolutely no idea what Cheng Xian’s character is doing. Like I would like a good background explanation, but this might just be me being very biased, since the beginning of the show didn’t interest me and seemed confusing and about businesses and corporations.
