Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the mobile game 'Onmyoji,' which itself draws from Heian-period Japanese onmyodo traditions—though this adaptation leans heavily into Chinese fantasy aesthetics instead.
Chen Kun and Zhou Xun have starred together multiple times since 2000; their real-life friendship reportedly made the romantic scenes awkward for the crew to film.
