Eighteen months in the making, the production team built a 7,000-square-meter set blending aesthetics from ancient Chinese dynasties including the Shang, Han, and Song. Its grand visuals – from the ethereal realm of "Shenzhou" to the dreamlike "Lotus Realm" – have captivated audiences worldwide.

On IMDb, the show currently holds a 9.2 rating. One viewer, Lunar_Nuage, praised it as "a triumph of design, direction, and performance – unapologetically grand in vision, yet deeply emotional at its core."
