It mainly tells the love story between the witty and cute Cui Xiao Xiao and the sinister and handsome demon Wei Jie in a chaotic time and space zone. Master once said to Cui Xiao Xiao, who has a ten-injury fate, is actually very lucky. If she had been born two hundred years earlier, according to her Yin destiny, she would have become the nemesis of the evil master Wei Jie. If that happens, frail Xiao Xiao will be hunted to the end of the world, her bones broken and ashes raised.

Xiao Xiao secretly calls out: "What a close call. Wei Jie is a cold and cruel person. Fortunately, he was killed by his cowardly disciple Qin Ling Xiao two hundred years ago. There is no such devil in the world anymore! Leaving only his notoriety to last forever. Later, Cui Xiao Xiao accidentally travelled back to two hundred years ago and took a handsome and unruly young man as her apprentice.

Cui Xiao Xiao was very happy and secretly prayed to her Master’s spirit in heaven: Our Lingshan Fu Sect has finally blossomed! I will definitely train my disciples to become talents! After praying, she turned to look at her tall and well-built beloved disciple and asked with a smile: "Disciple, I forgot to ask, what is your surname?" The disciple looked into the master's shining eyes and said slowly: "My surname is Wei, the name is Wei Jie."

Although their dream worlds are different, they both evoke similar feelings.
Both series have a similar strangeness and appeal.

I feel that these two dramas share many similarities, especially in their love that transcends centuries. Although the story unfolds mainly in the present, the past plays a crucial role in the protagonists' destinies. Both dramas blend romance, humor, and mystery, and the chemistry between the lead couple is simply amazing.
Another similarity is that in both stories, the protagonist’s own family tries to harm him because of inheritance issues. As a result, he distances himself from that environment and has a complicated relationship with his father or grandfather, depending on the case, since he favors someone who is not his direct blood relative. However, despite the conflict, he is still expected to inherit the family fortune.
Another similarity is that both female leads display unusual behaviors at first—one because she comes from a different era, and the other because she is a mermaid. Even so, they adapt wonderfully to the modern world. Both protagonists are physically strong.
