how? why? really?

honestly if I was not 22/30 i would have dropped it. none of the story makes sense. no background story on anything. awful acting, really bad directing. bad props, the story is just silly.
-seriously if you have not started, don't. save yourself the time and just watch something else.
-some of the worse acting and directing and scene i have seen. extremely rushed. might be covid???!!







- they can fly across dozens of kilometres in the air, but need horses to travel short distances and get lost in the forest.
-powers don't match, master wu that just died was the most powerful cultivator of their time. but he resorted to a pill against 1 ok power dude, and 1 girl that is not even as powerful as the prince. but the prince and the demon prince were getting their butt handed to them by him, but some how he could not 1 shot them. really man?.
-heroine is getting stronger. never seen her cultivate once.
-somehow she beats the most powerful rival that beat her once easily, without her blood, just randomly.
-there is no character development.
-why does the queen even want to destroy this culture? she is the queen. already the 2nd most powerful person. even if she lets the demons take over, she will still be 2nd.
-literally could have just made her lose her memory and the story would have been the same. cause she learned medicine from the old man anyways.
-king tells her you can marry him once you recover your blood. but does not remember her name with in 12 hours. so she will be the next empress, but her name is not important.
-there is 8 chances(episodes)that of some of this to be explained. but i really doubt it.
i think most of the story was written around random characters and just put it together.or maybe they made it up on the day of shooting.
-only good acting is by Feng Xun and Yin Zhao Ge. only reason this even got 3 stars. might be more of a directing issue than their acting skills. i have seen over 20 custom/historical dramas that all have well over 50 episodes and this is just silly, it is even worse than legends as far as how things are happening.

-on the positive note. the clothing and custom designs are amazing looking. some of the best i have seen.
-the CGI was really good for low budget though.
