An epic original xianxia, and a beautiful love story with perfect chemistry between the leads

An epic original xianxia, comedic with a dark undertone, and a beautiful love story with perfect chemistry between the leads, both great actors, Totally underserving the bad reviews, which are mostly weird and unsubstantiated …

I can’t fault this xanxia, and I have watched so many I easily get bored …
The story is very original, both serious and balanced with light humorous/comedic parts
with great actors playing characters, no unnecessary secondary plot,
served by beautiful decors, very poetic outdoor sceneries, awesome special effects for the genre … and a great OST
The details are down to the choice of fabric for the actors' costumes, whose patterns and embroideries match their characters...

What a cast of great actors making a perfect team…and serving a great love story
Special mention to the amazing and very versatile female lead, Jing Tian, who was also awesome in Wonderland of Love with Xu Kai and the Legend of Zhuohua with Feng chaofeng (epic Ming Lan). Her acting is flawless.
Zhang Ling He is as usual very good at playing a very ambiguous character, very expressive with his looks and subtle expressions, a great actor.
The way they look at each other when they fall in love is really telling. Contrary to what some wrote, the chemistry is there between these two and it is absolutely heart warming and charming. I recommend watching episode 13 ;-) and in general, the way they look and smile at each other makes you believe they are actually in love

Also, I liked very much the fact that the main leads are not two pairs but 1 pair (note: people looking for skinship and great kids scenes should not watch the xianxia genre, not coded for these),
+ 2 very endearing male characters supporting the main couple …(hence the absence of useless side story to the main plot)

I really don't get the bad reviews... i suspect they didn't fully / really watch the drama
