The action scenes are fantastic, the romance is well-developed, and the writing is excellent. I love it and have been following it for a long time. The only downside is that it's not finished yet. ② Ye Linglong versus Ye Qingxuan – the romance is a bit lacking, more comedic, but still very enjoyable. ③ Liu/Baili Fuxi versus Qing Qijing – the female lead is arrogant but has the confidence to back it up, while the male lead is a bit simple-minded, but she's incredibly loyal to him. ④ A quiet and gentle female lead versus a confident and lively male lead who excels at arguing.
