After watching five episodes, the cinematography and special effects are decent, but the storyline doesn't have any particularly fresh elements. The male lead is the only true son of a god with sealed powers, but in the early stages, he's dumbed down to the point of being annoying. The female lead was previously a phoenix and later became a mediocre water condensation beast. She forms a master-servant contract with the male lead, and together they embark on a journey to collect immortal elements... These are all elements that we've seen before.

The initial setup of having two mediocre characters was refreshing, but these days, having a male lead who can't tell time and is constantly late is really off-putting. He's both useless and stupid, and it's really painful to watch. He doesn't deserve the adorable and cute beast Ah Yin at all. Surprisingly, the character design of the future Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress is almost identical to that of the ancient drama "Eternal Jade Dust." The rest of the plot is also predictable. I dropped it after 10 episodes.

Just for the fact that the script finally has a male lead who is not the typical naive and sweet character, but rather the female lead, I think it deserves some encouragement. The female lead, supporting female characters, and even the female antagonists are all focused on their careers. The deities, demon kings, and even the villainous peacock princess are all ambitious women who strive for power within their clans, rather than simply being willing to settle down and get married.

Zhao Lusi is still adorable with her elusive charm. She nails those heart-fluttering little expressions. However, this is a female-oriented storyline, and seeing the male lead's character development and face-slapping moments feels somewhat disconnected from the essence of female-oriented literature. Ah Yin is still lovely, and I hope that in the later episodes, the female ghost and Feng Yin can return to focusing on the main storyline of the female protagonist.

The plot is very predictable and cliché, giving me the same feeling as watching Korean dramas years ago. It's filled with outdated and unoriginal storylines. But Ruth is still beautiful. Why is Shanjian once again the second male lead? Even though he grew a mouth this time, he still didn't get Ruth. Sigh.

Finally, Zhao Lu Si's makeup looks somewhat better. This drama, from what I remember, took a long time to premiere. My friend, a big fan of Zhao Lu Si, had been talking about this drama since I was in my junior year of college. Now I've already graduated with a bachelor's degree, and it's hard to imagine that the production quality of dramas released in these past few years is so disappointing. The aesthetics of the set design are a mystery, but Zhao Lu Si manages to do decently, perhaps because she hasn't acted in a fantasy wuxia drama before. I find her performance to be average. However, I have to say, I don't understand why the male lead is paired with her at all. They have zero chemistry, no sexual tension, and no romantic spark whatsoever.
Also, let's talk about the male actors' looks in this drama. It's really...????♂️????????♀️????
I'll give one star to this drama for being slightly eye-catching and another star to the female actors. I'll give a star to Teacher Xing Ling. By the way, if this drama wasn't an adaptation of Xing Ling's book, do you think I would have even watched a single episode? Speaking of which, why are all the dramas adapted from Xing Ling's books so...? ??? I feel like "Qian Gu Jue Chen" was somewhat decent aside from the looks, but this year's "An Le Yao" had nothing except for good looks. As for this drama, it relies on makeup and plot twists during the defense scenes.
