Chosen as a Top Chinese Drama for 2023

The drama is great. Justifiably ranks high among my favorite dramas of the year.
I suggest you be patient and focus on the plot since it moves slowly at first. It becomes more and more addicting the more you watch.
The action sequences in this play are enjoyable, despite the editing issues. The Shangqing Temple and the jail sequences in episode 20 are very breathtaking.
Zhang Linghe and Bai Lu have fantastic chemistry. Their flawless performances elevate this drama to a whole new level.
