Our take
A betrayed, half-blind Daoist sect leader is picked up by a demonic lord who wants to prove anyone can be corrupted. Slow and philosophical, heavy on martial-arts politics. The romance arrives late and earns it.
Synopsis
Shen Qiao heads a Daoist sect and believes in the good in people. Yan Wushi leads a powerful demonic sect and is sure everyone, underneath, looks out only for themselves. After a fight leaves Shen Qiao hurt, blind and hazy on his memories, Yan Wushi takes him in, meaning to wear down his patience and faith until he turns to the demonic path. The plan does not go as expected.
