A short but sweet palate cleanser.
As far as Cultivator x Demon wuxia romances go, this short film does a decent job of delivering its own take within the confines of its budget.
The title removes any surprise that the plot twist may have provided, so the story ends up being less about a hidden identity and more about an underestimated woman trying her best to prove herself in a male-dominated trade. She may be childish and naive, but she has a big heart and a strong will that never cracks. Watching her play off the demon cult leader's more stoic personality is a treat and it's a shame that there wasn't enough time to really develop their budding relationship.
The ending leaves behind more questions than answers and the holes in the story are glaring, but overall it is worth the watch.
