Honestly, this is one of the best first episodes I've ever seen from the Xian Xia genre. We just right into the action and. the tension between the two leads is off the charts. There's a dramatic escape, multiple battles, diabolical evil and even a freaking kiss scene... like what more could you want? Plus, the two leads are both powerful baddies and have loads of chemistry despite the fact that the setup is one-sided love. Usually I dislike FLs who go grazy over the ML from the get go, but MXL is different. She's decisive and clever and has so much agency; it's really refreshing to see. Honestly, I the sense that the ML is the one out of his depth here hehe

Although half of this episode is basically just wrapping up the opening arc and therefore less-exciting than what we've been seeing, we get a lot of great development from our couple, a lot of scenes to drive home the concept that the XXC is really starting to soften towards MXL and sypathize with her more. I'm really impressed with VZ's portrayal, how he manages to infuse so much emotion into his character while still being his cold, holier-than-thou self. His sublte facial expressions and obvious discomfort with his new feelings are so fun to watch. Of course, MXL never tires in her pursuit of him and finally convinces him to allow her to join him in Snow City. Hell yeah girl, you go!
