Honestly, I have always been a big fan of Yang Zi ever since Ashes of Love. However, I do see that it doesn't what the storyline is, her acting is repetitive. She plays similar roles in many of the drama. I can't deny how well she does emotionally though. She's definitely the queen on that. The storyline makes since if you actually read the novel. Though it still questionable who is the actual main male lead.
Few things I think it is overly unrealistic is these four main lead all like one girl. Like seriously. I wouldn't give this a 10/10 simply because, the main heroine is all over the place. Her relationship with her cousin/first cousin/similar to a brother is actually quite gross. For the cousin/first cousin to have develop romantic feelings toward her remind me of that episode from Friends when Rachel dated a guy name Danny and he was super close to his sister which is a bit distributing. Realistically, even in a fantasy novel/drama romantic feelings shouldn't even be written about between two cousin. The female character is also selfish, her feelings is all over the place and that is what is confusing. She supposedly like Jing, but cannot see him another woman and she get piss off about it or act like she simply don't care. Then she will jump around leading the third male lead to develop feelings for her, questioning her own feelings whether or not she have feelings for him. Like she seriously rebound whenever she feels lonely or hurt, but she is also hurting the other male lead character. Was the story confusing? Not too much if you do read the novel, but per not reading the novel you will somewhat get confuse.
The writer did a good job writing the script just like it is in the novel. Cinematography the drama was shot beautifully. Some of the scene was really touching. The music are beautiful and compliment well with the drama and the scene. Acting between the characters are well portray. I do no find Jing to be boring like most people claim. I honestly felt that Deng Wei actually portray this character really well. The best of his acting I have seen so far. Tan Jian Ci is definitely did well on the personality of a cold hearted demon. Beside the unrealistic and over doing with the four male lead liking one female character, I say please do give this drama a chance. It's not as bad as it seem, but also not the best of all either.
I will love to see Yang Zi play more different characters maybe someone who can transform, different characters personality all in one drama might be interesting.
