The most beautiful Xianxia you'll ever watch, with golden comedy and a starry love story.

This is not your typical Xianxia, it is much more than that.
You'll laugh and cry in this drama. This drama is a comedic gold, with really really great humour. But it also manages to hit you in the feels every now and then. From episode 1, I highly sympathized with the fl Yetan. She was treated as a harbinger of doom for all her life. You'll understand her pain really well, Li Landy portrays her so beautifully. As the drama went on I started to love the second fl too. She's so calm and rational, opposite to our fl but compliments are perfectly. Can I just say I love He Xualin 's voice. Then comes the two male leads. Chaofeng, at first he's a tiger in a sheep's costume. But you can't dislike him. Luckily he resolves himself fairly quickly and becomes this adorable third prince you'd want to protect!

Now the best part of this Drama - Chen Xingxu! Oh man where do I even begin. He's just soo good. He portrays a total of five characters in this drama. The reserved and cold Emperyan; the three soul shards- innocent and kind Lamu, money obsessed Mei Youqin, the flirty and elegant Wenren; and finally the reborn Shaodian Youqin. I'm so astonished by how he managed to portray these very different characters while making them feel like they're the same person at the same time. I've nothing but praise for his voice work here, he managed to change the way all five characters speak while not changing his voice! Impressive can't even express how good his acting was here.

I loved, loved the chemistry between the main leads. It's sooo sweet I wanna cry. The second leads had a great lovestory too. I love how different they are yet they compliment each other. I'm so glad the twin sisters stayed loyal to each other till the end and never once betrayed each other, unlike most other Xianxias.

Every single side character is soo soo good in this drama. The Prince of the beast realm Di Lanjue, Ziwu, Qingheng and everyone else. I love how this drama has the kindest heavenly empress of any xianxia ever. Oh and really adorable immortals lol. Both the male leads have adorable attendants. Feichi and Hamo for Youqin and Sushi and Hachao for Chaofeng. I love this supporting cast love stories. Even the supposedly evil characters are not bad. Wudai appears to be a brute at first but oh god is he adorable and so is Jialuoluo. The Emperor of the mortal realm may appear to be just another bad dad but thank God he's not.

By the end of this drama you'll be left wanting more. I cried and laughed a lot watching this drama. I wonder if the heavens will fill the void in my heart after this drama ended.
