One of the best & refreshing fantasy drama of 2021!

The story starts with our main characters eventful meeting, Si Teng, our strong, badass female who is a plant-human hybrid and charming architect Qin Feng. The story progresses as Si Teng tries to discover the mysteries of her past. During this past demons reappear in their life. As time passes Qin Feng and Si Teng develop feelings for each other way above life and death. But the situations weren't in favour of this beautiful couple. At a point only one of them could live. Qin Feng, sacrificed the power of Yi tribe bestowed on him by Si Teng in order to save Si Teng. As a result Qin Feng becomes bed ridden and Si Teng also losses her memory due to transfer of power. Luckily Si Teng finds Qin Feng again in the form of Xixi and the couple has a comparatively happy ending.
The plot itself was interesting. The animations were satisfactory. Both actors and production team did a great job. Zhang Binbin and Jing Tian was a treat to watch as a couple.Qin Feng's character transitions were smooth. He could be a soft person and in a moment a domineering person to protect loved ones. Traditional dresses of Si Teng were gorgeous. Yan Furui added the funny moments. Child actors as Xixi and Wafang were adorable.
Not to mention Shen Yiding's story. Though she just wanted to lead a normal life with the love of her life, her obsession and lies made her a demon that even her love feared.
Hands down for the OSTs. They were so lovely and soothing. Even Zhang Binbin and Jing Tian sang for this drama.
The dramas ending was enough perfect for me. The alternate ending was beautiful too. The only reason I deducted a star was this drama was adapted from a novel and the alternate ending could not justify some facts from the novel. Otherwise everything was beautiful.
I didn't feel bored while watching this fantasy drama. It could easily maintain the mystery and suspense. For me it was one of the memorable fantasy drama of 2021.
