Months of wait came to a bear a fruitful end. The story was heart touching, with great cast, good production. Everything about it was pure perfection. Haven't really seen any cdrama that resolved everything this well.

Characters: Be it supporting characters or mains, there was a lot of character development. My most favourite characters were Baijue, Tianqi and Yuemi. Baijue, oh what do i even say about him? He looked cold but was soft inside, and his love was purer than water. As much as i loved him, Qingmu was more lovable. He and Qingmu were total opposites. He did so much for Shanggu in silence that it hurt me. Tianqi was hands down the best character. He was the most precious little bean, just like Yuemi. They looked like Shanggu's parents lol. I loved the two of them very much. But such a pity that she died so early, and i teared up when in that ep her statue called to Houchi... so many of the dead characters came back to life why not her? Then even my Tianqi would've gotten his well deserved happy ending. I feel so bad for them. Gujun.. i loved him as Houchi's dad and tbh he suited the heaven king position more than that stupid Muguang. Hongri (matchmaker), Fengran, Zihan and Jingjian (how could he be Wuhuan's son? He was adopted i bet!) were some other good characters that i liked. Fengran and Jingjian's love was sad like Yuemi's. Thankfully Jingjian was reborn, so one day they'd be together again. Xuanyi was a complex villain, it took me a long time to figure him out. Xueying was straight up annoying and i felt like she set fire to the wick of vileness in Wuhuan. Wuhuan was a f-ing disgusting and horribly evil bitch, like i can't even explain in words how much exactly i hated her, to think i pitied and liked her when she first appeared. In the first few eps of Wuhuan i couldnt understand why she'd turn that horrible but then i did. She was too greedy and jealous and didn't know her place. Jingzhao was better than her, but i hated her. But she wasn't as vicious as Wuhuan. She was a spoiled and bratty princess used to having things her way and blindly loving her mother. Sometimes I'd just feel like getting inside the screen and kill wuhuan. Ugh.

Acting: I think Liu Xueyi outdid all his previous performances. Never watched Zhou Dongyu before but her portrayal of Shanggu and houchi was perfect. Xu kai.. his Baijue was different from all his previous roles that I've seen, and i loved him as a serious, calm and mature character. It's just that he looked too young as Baijue, but perfect for Qingmu, and his acting was on point. Although the two roles here were opposite to each other, he nailed them both. They had a cute chemistry, not a burning one. Lai yi was as always great. Jenny Zhang had that blood boiling thing about her acting as Wuhuan and she looked really good. Zhang Yaqin is a really good actor and she did a good job here too as Fengran. Everyone's performance actually felt really good and convincing.

Story: The story was beautifully written and well executed. It had 3 arcs:
1. the falling in love phase where the FL also attains her full power,
2. the reincarnation of the leads post destruction of god realm and their love in full bloom with the villains running rampant,
3. the god realm is back and the main leads are back in power, but trouble in love and the final sacrifice.
It never bored me for even a minute. It kept me interested and wanting more throughout. I cried buckets while watching it lol. Shanggu and Baijue's love was really touching. Starting from their falling for each other to him protecting her with his life, it was wonderful. Their love bloomed beautifully as Houchi and Qingmu. As Qingmu, he did everything that he couldn't as Baijue, and they could resolve a lot of their old regrets. True that it started off really slow in the first 15 eps but that was necessary as it was setting the plot. But it was beautiful too, i personally loved their falling in love phase. Oh and how the tables turned when they incarnated lol. It explained most of the important things in the later eps. Tianqi finally moved on from Shanggu but kept being the best to her. It was soooo satisfying to see Wuhuan punished like that, better than death. The ending was beautiful. All loose ends tied up, and everything explained.
Something that I didn't like is that he kept hurting her after getting back his memories, to be a sacrificial lamb to save her, unlike Qingmu and Houchi who were a really well coordinated couple. Why was Jingzhao kept alive? I wished Yuemi came back but she didn't didn't appear as such. Apparently she was reborn as a mortal (bai shuo) and her story is in progress ;).

Production: The production was extremely well done. The backgrounds, cgi, sets everything was absolutely breathtaking and magical. The osts were so soothing and the timing when they were played made it even more emotional. The lyrics synced perfectly with the story and were very meaningful and touching. This album was also one of the best that I've heard in the cdramas. The costumes were wonderful and grand, not dramatic. And why is nobody saying anything about the opening theme visuals? THEY WERE MESMERISING.

I'd definitely come back to rewatch it. I just finished it and my emotions are still raw. I laughed and cried with the characters, it was that emotion invoking. And i highly recommend it.
