What can I say about this??? This is SO GOOD!!! It has become in my favorite Wuxia so quickly and undoubtedly!!! Ashes of love have been always at the top ( Deng Lun may have or have not A LOT to do with that) and I still love it but after watching this I am just OBSESSED.

My absolute favorite thing about this drama is the female lead, her character is SUCH A BADASS. And I think thats why this has taken the crown as my new favorite against many other Wuxias. Usually female leads are written as such useless characters, waiting for the rescue of the male leads, this one is not waiting for the rescue of ANYONE!!! She is strong and so ready to fight everyone to save everyone she loves!!! She has ideas and is smart and witty!!

Also! She is so brave and feisty!!! Love her so much.

I never watched the actress (Zhou Ye) playing Yanhui before but I am a fan! She is absolutely killing the role! And she has so much chemistry with Neo Hou as the Dragon King I have been following him for a while and watched him already in a few dramas ( my faves when we where Young, and a Girl Like Me)

My least favorite thing has to be the dead fish kisses, but im so used to about them in asian dramas, I don't have tears to cry anymore.....

Everything has just so much quality, but specially the story. Is so original, fresh and absent of clichés.

Filled with multiple characters with different personalities which gives to the story a lot of angles and flavors. There's a lot of comic moments and lighthearted scenes between the drama so it doesn't get too heavy.

Also, there's not just one plot, there are so many different ones, and when one finishes another one starts and there's subplots and backstories as well. Nothing repetitive at all. Is just so entertaining. Not like other dramas dragging the same plot over and over.

Effects and CGI are awesome too and main leads have loads of changes of clothes and costumes which are beautiful, you can tell is not a low budget production.

No rushed ending and no cliché either!

Watch it! You won't regret it.

It's refreshing to watch a drama where the main leads actually work together as partners to overcome their adversaries instead of killing or betraying the other for the sake of fate or destiny, or some mission they have to do.

I love how open and honest the female lead is with her feelings. I love that she's not this fearful and coy female that needs to be rescued or to be protected all the time. There are times when she even does the saving or rescuing.

The side characters and second leads are likeable as well. The main leads have great chemistry and all in all, a very good looking cast.

I just found the series a little bit too long though. Otherwise, it's a really good show.

After a lover's betrayal, the ancient dragon Tian Yao found himself badly wounded and heartbroken. The woman he loved betrayed him by dismembering him and stripping him of his dragon scales and then sealing his body parts in five places. Only by luck did his soul escape. Now reborn, he encounters Yan Hui, who vows to protect him as he retrieves his missing bones.

Tian Yao, the ancient spirit dragon, falls victim to betrayal by the deceitful Su Ying, who steals his heart and scales. Dismembered and dispersed, he encounters the dauntless Yan Hui, forming an uneasy alliance where he becomes her demon familiar, a dragon koi. Yan Hui pledges to help him recover his body parts, discovering the challenges of training the dangerous Tian Yao.

A mysterious cupid named Bai Xiaosheng comically influences their romance, eventually becoming an obstacle. Together, they embark on adventures, gaining lifelong friends along the way. Despite some typical xianxia tropes and one-dimensional villains, the friendships and adventures shine as the drama's highlights.

Zhou Ye once again showcases her talent as one of the most promising young actors in the industry. Her portrayal of Yan Hui is truly enchanting, radiating the effervescent enthusiasm and passionate idealism of youth that often eludes more seasoned actors. Her on-screen chemistry with Hou Minghao is undeniable, even though his acting is a work in progress. Hou Minghao's remarkable good looks occasionally distract from his performance, as he sometimes appears a bit stiff in inappropriate moments.

Interestingly, Hou Minghao's casting works well for his role, portraying an uncomplicated character who experiences love and hate with equal intensity. While his character may make some less-than-smart decisions, his pure-hearted nature makes it difficult to fault him. Despite occasional rough patches in their acting, this on-screen duo captivates viewers and had me wholeheartedly cheering for them throughout the series.

I want to conclude by mentioning that I approached this drama with no prior knowledge of the actors or the novel, making this review as unbiased as possible. However, the cast won me over completely. The remarkable chemistry between the two leads was not only convincing but also exceeded my expectations. The acting was top-notch, and I couldn't believe that Hou Minghao, who played the majestic dragon king and the milky dragon simultaneously, could deliver such a stellar performance. Zhou Ye's versatility as an actress truly shone, and she had me shedding tears along with her character on numerous occasions.

Furthermore, the entire cast demonstrated a deep commitment to and genuine connection with the viewers. They tirelessly engaged with fans, answering questions on Weibo and hosting live sessions. Their dedication and hard work deserve all the praise in the world, not just for their exceptional performances but also for their unwavering commitment to their audience.

Highly recommended. Definitely worth watching.

Romantic-comedy in xianxia setting, with a good plot and decent acting. The series offers a light-hearted romance with a sense of adventure and themes of equality, friendship and looking beyond the already established prejudices of a world where the lives of spirits/non-humans is taken for granted by the mortals/humans. The nemesis of our male protagonist, a centuries-old dragon immortal is a well-trained and strong-willed female who is the head of one of the sects, willing to do anything to abide by her understanding of the world and love. The female lead is also depicted as rational, strong and independent, who leads the plot of story.

It's a light watch if you're not looking for some heavy drama and romance, like TTEOTM.

This has become my favorite xianxia.. I laughed l, I cried, I love so many characters here.

Tian Yao and Yan Hui are the epitome of true love. Their devotion and loyalty to each other are unmatched by anyone else. They would do anything for each other, even sacrifice their own lives. Their love is so pure and powerful that it transcends time and space. They have a bond that connects their hearts and souls. You can feel their emotions and their pain as they face countless obstacles and enemies.

You can also feel their joy and happiness as they overcome them together. You admire their love and wish you could find someone who loves you the same way. They are your role models and your inspiration. They are everything to each other. They are not just lovers, but also best friends, partners, and soulmates.

I hope there will be an additional special episode ^o^
