I only watched this drama because of 白鹿 (Bai Lu) as I watched her in 周生如故 (One and Only) and I loved her acting in there. I waited until the series was done as I only binge watch and hate waiting for eps to come out so I was able to watch this series in 2 weeks. YOUKU really should have broke this drama into 2 seasons like The Blue Whisper. It would have had a much better ending. Be sure to have a tissue box if you're watching this drama.
The drama starts of where 魔神 (Original Devil God) is taking over the world and killing everyone in the way. He's after the 過去鏡（Mirror of the Past/Divine Mirror) to go back in time, but fails to obtain the mirror. 黎蘇蘇 (Li SuSu) blood drips on the mirror and realize that Devil God was mortal that didn't hate/ want to kill. He later on turned into the Devil God. Li Susu's clan tells her that she must be sent back 500 years back to Sheng Kingdom to find 魔神 (Original Devil God) before he turns into a Devil's God. She must do this in order to protect the four continents and three realms. Before she leaves, she see Devil God killing everyone she loves and making an oath that she'll find him and kill him.
黎蘇蘇 (Li SuSu) goes back 500 years and wakes up realizing she's 葉夕霧 (Ye Xiwu), who is the younger daughter of General Ye of the Kingdom of Sheng. She doesn't remember who/what she the real XiWu did before taking over her body nor remember marrying 澹台燼 (Tantai Jin) who is just a mortal at the time and also a prison at Sheng Kingdom as he's original from Jing Kingdom and the youngest prince.
Li Susu realizes that Ye Xiwu was cruel and mean person to Tantai Jin and always beats him before bed. She realizes that she's going to better and make sure Tantai Jin doesn't become the Devil God and be good.
You see, Ye XiWu become nicer to Tantai Jin but teaching him what feelings are (caring for him, loving him and teaching him how to love) and how to feel as he didn't have any emotions before or know how to love/care/feel for anyone.
Through some misunderstanding , Tantai Jin starts getting some his demon powers and looks for other demons to be stronger. In Ep 12, Tantai Jin found a Dragon God/Demon and woke him up to steal his powers, but by waking him up, Ye Xiwu, Tantai Jin, Xiao Lin and Ye Bingchang fell into 般若浮生 Bo'Re Life and reliving a life time that happened 10,000 years ago.
In 般若浮生 Bo'Re Life
Tantai Jin becomes 冥夜 (Mingye) who is God of War and leader of the Upper Immortal
Ye Xiwu becomes 桑酒 (Sangjiu) who is a clam princess of Mohe
Xiao Lin becomes 桑佑 (Sangyou) who is Sangjiu's older brother and also a clam prince of Mohe.
Ye Bingchang becomes 天歡 (Tianhuan) who is a daughter of Mingye's predecessor and loves Mingye.
Mingye getting hurt during the war with the Devil God and Tianhuan took the Mohe crystal, which was the life energy of the Mohe people, to keep Mingye alive. Sangjiu uses her divine essence as energy to restart the Mohe crystal. Sangjiu's dad wants Mingye to marry Sangjiu due to this cause and because she doesn't have anymore divine essence, she can become a demon anytime if she doesn't cultivate and have divine essence.
Parts of ep 15 and 16 was my favourite part of the dream as they finally became a happy married couple and didn't have any misunderstandings or anyone bothering them. When Sangjiu treated MingYe's eye and he pretending to not able to see but can just made me smile and laugh.
Ep 18 is where the dreams ends and everyone comes out of Bo'Re Life.
Later on the series, TanTai Jin and Ye Xiwu gets married (again) but then Xiwu breaks his hearts... this is where I got so upset as TanTai Jin was becoming good and not wanting to become bad. But there was just so much misunderstanding between the two and no communication, but that's how drama is. It's does reveal the truth of the misunderstanding down the series, which is good.
When you watch to ep 28, this is where you'll cry and cry. This is where I think they should have stop season 1 here and started a season 2. Would have had a much better ending and not rushing some of the ep or the whole drama overall.
500 years passes and Li Susu wakes up after finishing her mission but it's also 10,000 years since the death of the Devil God. She realizes it's that the last 10 years she was in cultivation and it's a different timeline as everyone is alive.
TanTai Jin tries his best to find Li Susu and wakes up 500 years later and is now 滄九旻 (Cang Jiumin) who is a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect's leader Zhaoyou.
He finds Ye Xiwu and realizes that she's now Li Susu and everything made sense why when they actually met 500 years ago, she was so different than the real Ye Xiwu.
There's a part of Li Susu and Cang Jiumin super happy and talking about them being together forever where I think they could have ended the drama there, but of course they couldn't. Li Susu and Cang Jiumin does get married in this timeline as well before everything ends to what us viewers didn't like.
At the end of the drama, it kinda reminded me of 三生三世十里桃花 (Eternal Love/ Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms) as Li Susu/Ye Xiwu/SangJiu & Tantai Jin//Ming Ye/Cang Jiumin had 3 lives with different timelines too.
At least in all 3 lives they lived in, they got married. Ye Xiwu - Tantai Jin. SangJiu - Ming Ye. Li Susu - Cang Jiumin. My favourite wedding would still probably be SangJiu and Ming Ye cause they were so calm and happy, like not hate.
The OST was really well done for this drama. I've been listing to 只你 (Only you) + 要不然我們就這樣一萬年 (Or Forever) + 黑月光 (The Black Moonlight) on repeat. The rest of the songs were great too, but these 3 stood out the most for me.
I love how Luo YunXi 羅雲熙 + Bai Lu 白鹿 sang 黑月光 as a cover as well - https://youtu.be/ndJ-DkvxSZs
As well as Luo YunXi 羅雲熙 singing a cover for 要不然我們就這樣一萬年 (Or Forever) https://youtu.be/k2W6Jn5UKOc
There was a special reunion after episode 40 on the playlist for the drama. I'm not sure if it's posted, but you can see Bai Lu still crying even long after finishing a scene from the last episode. This special reunion did give me closure of the ending drama as at the last 2 minutes of the 40 minutes special, They ask Luo YunXi 羅雲熙,
“If Tantai Jin were to be brought back to life and see Li Susu, what would be the first thing he would say to her?”
Luo Yun Xi 羅雲熙 said, “Your man doesn’t die that easily”
Afterwards they asked Bai Lu 白鹿,
“Would would LiSusu say to Tantai Jin if they were to meet again?”
Bai Lu 白鹿 just smiled and it went to Luo YunXi and Bai Lu talking as Li Susu and Tantai Jin
I do want to post it here, but I'm not sure if it's allowed, if it is. I'll post the video link.
