Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'jianghu' here subverts classic wuxia—heroes are broke, schools are MLMs, and dignity is the real currency. It's part of a 2020s wave of 'deconstructed xianxia' responding to audience fatigue with god-tier protagonists.
Li Hongyi and Huang Riying previously starred together in [REDACTED: The Blood of Youth], and their easy chemistry here was a deliberate casting callback that producers kept secret until premiere week.
