This drama is great, if you pretend the last 4 episodes do not exist. The last 4 episodes didn't make much sense tbh. The story starts out with our great demon Zhan yuanzhou who goes to the demon catching agency to help them out.

wen Xiao doesn't have a problem with this but our beloved Zhou yichen doesn't like it bec the demon killer his family. however Yuanzhou gets his way by offering that he'll teach yichen how to use the cloud sword to the fullest and be able to kill him when he does. yichen agrees and went Xiao makes a seperate contract with him to make sure he doesn't do anything out of line.

This show is pure comedy, the snark comments and funny moments makes you laugh. it's very enjoyable. the leads form up a team with Bai Jiu and pei Ying and later on our little mountain wanna be chef god ying lei. Bai Jiu is a kid who's an excellent doctor.

They all love teasing each other and having fun together. they eventually become like a family. they take on many cases of demons who kill or harm people only to eventually face off against the true villain of the show.

on this journey they discover hidden plots and a hidden agenda by none other then Bai jius own master. He manipulated Bai Jiu into betraying his friends all to save his mother. he eventually learns the truth about his mother and his friends give him another chance.

the man was after Yuanzhou's inner core because it contained the ever burning wood. Many people have died for this. Yuanzhou is a vessel for all the resentment energy which can sometimes make him lose control especially on a red blood moon. once yichen learns this is why he killed his family, his own feelings start to torment him a little. he wants to hate him but he really can't, they have become a bit like soulmates. truly best of friends.

in the end Bai Jiu gets taken over by Li Lun an old friend of yuanzhou he turned evil. To be able to save him they had to repair the cloud sword that had gotten broken along the way and get rid of Li luns inner core. this causes the death of ying Lei. Bai Jiu was saved but once he learner Ying lei died he was very sad.

Li Lun didn't die as per Yuanzhou's request and they had him return to his original form a bagoda root so he could start anew and recultivate his human form. then the time finally came for them to face off against the true villain of the show. we all thought he was dead but surprise surprise he wasn't.

this is where it starts to really not make any sense at all. yuanzhou was already weak from getting rid of the ever burning wood and using his own demonic energy to help restore the cloud sword. still he and yichen faced off against the man who now possessed the innor core of the phoenix.

along with the ashes of the ever burning wood he could be reborn as many times as possible. pei Ying faced off against one of his lackeys, they used to be colleagues as she used to work this agency in the past.

wen Xiao was deadly poisoned and couldn't really use her baize goddess powers without getting more poisoned and closer to death. she finally managed to retrieve her full power and then that happens?!

yichen and yuanzhou struggle against him and guess who comes to lend them a hand? none other then Li Lun! he forcibly took on a human form to help his old bestie yuanzhou. during the fighting he decides to sacrifice himself for yuanzhou and his new bestie. he gives them each half of his power. he couldn't stand yuanzhou being a weak mf cuz he was literally one of the strongest demons out there.

then he tried to buy some time by having his natural form appear to lure the fire of the ever burning wood which is his archnemesis. yuanzhou and yichen work together to finally sly him only for him to be alive again.

on the other side in a different place another fierce battle was going on. it eventually ended with pei Ying being the winner and Bai Jiu going off to find the ashes to destroy them. they were protected by a barrier, Bai Jiu did not give a shit and forced his way through this very painful barrier for his Zhou gege who he admired so much. it ends with him destroying the ashes and ending up dead.

yuanzhou gets all the demonic power from yichen as he was caught by the villain and the same type of barrier was set up there. yichen was always protected from his one word spells (except for the time he had a portion of Li luns power) so he used this to break the barrier and kill the villain. however it doesn't end there!!!

the evil guy had given everyone an inner demon core and the only way to get rid of this was to active the baize goddess full power. yuanzhou had already taken away all the poison from the baize token secretly and now he decided to let himself get killed so all the resentment energy gets released triggering the full power of the baize token to save everyone. THE FUCKING END.

we get little consolation with a special episode where yichen is searching for the last remnant of Yuanzhou's soul because he had seperated a piece so he could be reborn.

top tier acting, loved the chemistry between the actors and the characters. romance was really only a minor thing it as was a bit comedic at some points too, but their love for each other was pure and cute. yuanzhou and wen Xiao were very cute together. so besides the crappy open ending. it's definitely worth the watch and very enjoyable overall
