Destiny and Saving

Plot Overview

Fate in the Past:
A thousand years ago, little immortal Nihuang (played by Zhang Yuxi) from the Feather Clan enters Lijing Heaven in search of her sister Yuqing, who destroyed her own primordial spirit. There, she accidentally awakens Bai Yan (played by Han Dong), the Dragon God of War. The two fall in love but are forcibly separated due to interference from the Celestial Realm. To protect her, Bai Yan conceals Nihuang's aura with a spiritual orb and sends her to reincarnate, planting the seeds of their destined reunion.
Conflict in the Present:
In the modern timeline, Mo Xiao (played by Tong Mengshi), the young master of Shushan, and Feng Lixue (played by Zhang Yuxi), the daughter of the Sword Lord Feng Yue, stand on opposing sides of righteousness and evil. Feng Lixue is betrayed and pushed off a cliff by Demon Lord Chongguang (played by Fu Fangjun). She is reborn as "Wuchen" and becomes entangled in a fateful reunion filled with love and hatred with Mo Xiao.
Unveiling the Truth:
As the mysterious "Phoenix Masked Woman" (played by Chen Zihan) appears, Wuchen's true identity is revealed. During their investigation into Feng Tianxing's (played by Huang Yi) tragic death, Mo Xiao and Feng Lixue uncover Chongguang's schemes to manipulate two generations of conflicts. Ultimately, they join forces to restore order to the immortal realm.

Character and Destiny Dynamics

Zhang Yuxi’s Dual Roles:
Zhang Yuxi plays both Nihuang and Feng Lixue. Nihuang is portrayed as cold and resilient, while Feng Lixue is consumed by vengeance. Zhang distinguishes the two characters through subtle expressions and intricate martial arts performances.
Tong Mengshi’s Breakthrough in Martial Arts Drama:
From The Journey of Chongzi to this series, Tong Mengshi’s portrayal of Mo Xiao blends the stern authority of Shushan’s leader with deep emotions. His on-screen "tragic romance" with Zhang Yuxi has been praised as a "tear-jerker machine" in the xianxia genre.
Mirroring Fates:
The thousand-year devotion between Bai Yan and Nihuang mirrors the present-day conflict between Mo Xiao and Feng Lixue, reinforcing the theme of "karmic cycles."

Production Highlights

Visual Design:
Huanrui Century continues the xianxia aesthetic established in Love and Redemption, creating visually stunning settings like the "Lijing Heaven Galaxy Barrier" and "Shushan Sword Array," with costumes blending Dunhuang-inspired color palettes and Taoist symbols.
Innovative Storytelling:
Departing from the traditional linear revenge narrative, the story employs a "memory fragment" structure, connecting two generations of grievances. Each six-episode arc unveils a layer of the past-life causality.
