The water of the Yangtze River begins in Kunlun and ends in Dongming. There are countless people who are nourished by the river and turn into demon spirits. Sui Yuan, a scholar who went to Beijing to study, stumbled into the trap of "Mandarin Duck Hotpot" by the koi fish demon Jiang Xiaoyu and fell in love with her. The demon slayer Dongfang Xingyun rescued Sui Yuan, but found that all this was caused by the ancient beast Henggongyu. The river was boiling, the people were struggling, and a battle to save the common people and love started on the Wujiang River... (Source: IQIYI) Edit Translation

Reviews
Meant for young teens, but an enjoyable watch regardless
Look, before I say anything else, know that this movie is very evidently for young audiences. It's a cute, simple, star-crossed fantasy film with eye-catching magic graphics. The acting is a bit poor. The plot is predictable. Nothing particularly high-emotion happens. (Also, on a side note: the movie poster is very misleading.) That's the nature of films with this age demographic.That said, I greatly enjoyed this movie. The music was stunning - in the way that only wuxias can be. The magic looked gorgeous. I loved the reoccurring theme of yin and yang. And the fact that the true climax isn't the big showdown, but rather the events right after the showdown was a really interesting choice that I don't see often. I know that should this film have been around when I was younger, I would've had this on repeat so much that it would've made the list of films my parents had to hide from me.
But as an adult, the rewatch appeal is quite low because of all that I mentioned in the first paragraph of this review.
