I definitely think it deserves high rating not 10/10 but close 99.5% . It is close to TMOP ,dream pillow standard with different insights of xian xia aka fantasy world.. instantly caught my attn right frm 1st episode , the interactions make me laughed , baique character is mysterious as he was the coldest of all. Female lead draws question mark of her being the youngest, most pampered , most highly ranked yet most incapacitated , with her mischievous character & strong sense of justice.

The drama sees her grow into a capable, strong leader that put her people needs ahead of her.
The story plot gets me fun moments, touched, sad , teared. I couldn't have cried more for even the side characters in other drama
Many of the characters got some screen time n development whether for good or worse.. and strong character shines like feng ran, the good yue mi. The scenes are very beautiful, actors great acting esp when look at they play multiple character/ personality .. HC serious , SG playful, kinda little girl but both kind, amazingly loyal , brave, tough

The stand out about this drama is the #Contrast. Life is never easy for any1, tests and choices come at certain point of time or a number of times. Some people will destroy everything for their desire/ unrequited love/ greed/ power while others will give everything to protect & stands for justice, peace & love <3 It really bring a lot of emotional coaster.
Love strong Feng Ran , loving jing jian , adorable Qing Mu, icy Bai Que but melted by FL, super daddy GJ !

Ohyea saw a lot critisism on FL, with "Ugly" really she is not the MOST beautiful even in the drama, i think is intentional . Maybe the novel/script FL wasnt that beautiful but ugly is too judging.
The beautiful WH yes beautiful but does she have a beautiful heart?? Capable ppl ?-many but giving or taking? powerful ? are u doing right things with yr power n responsibility.
I think these are the strong messages behind this series.
