i was wondering if there are xianxia short length dramas out there when this popped up in my recommendation. for a low budget drama, this one surprisingly had a good setting, costumes, and decent CGI.

honestly i decided to watch it because of the ML and ended up liking both ML and FL.

the trope in this drama is not new and nothing particular to remember. the ML had to go through three lives/tribulations in the mortal realm in exchange to be the Heavenly Emperor, and the FL took initiative to pass the trials with him (without him knowing about it).

i have mixed feelings about this one because it started so good but went downhill in the latter half. here’s my verdicts:
- their first life was memorable and the story was good enough to keep me going. the romance between them was believable.
- their second life was a mess. i’d like to blame with the writing. unlike their first life, there was no build-up to their love story and the romance wasn’t believable for me. i don’t believe with their love and it’s just so sad. though it had a little plot twist in the end, it felt kinda bland.
- their third life happened in the last episode and although it was short, but for me it was a nice surprise. it’s a happy ending.

this drama revolved around the main leads and i didn’t remember much about the supporting characters, though there were some whom i found annoying.

regardless, this one is a good short escape if you wanna watch light xianxia drama, but remember to put your expectation to zero.
