The Blossoming Love

Centuries ago, Emperor Zhao Ming gave his life to shield humanity from the gods, and his lover Hun Dunzhu risked everything to rescue a fragment of his soul, setting a chain of rebirths that would last forever. In a far future, that soul returns as Xie Xuechen, a charismatic leader of the Immortal Alliance, while Hun Dunzhu is reborn as Mu Xuanling, a revered Holy Maiden ruling the Dark Domain. When they meet again in the mortal world their memories are gone and they stand on opposite sides of a moral conflict framed as righteousness versus evil. After Mu Xuanling finds Xie Xuechen gravely wounded in her realm, she saves him and insists they travel together, a fragile partnership built on gratitude, secrets, and unresolved bonds.

Released in 2025, the series was created by Sui Yu Er An and directed by Sam Ho Shu-Pui, and it stars Vin Zhang and Sun Zhenni in leading, multi layered roles, supported by Wang Duo, Zhang Yaqin, and Wu Yuheng.

As of its initial run, the show has not claimed major industry awards, though it has attracted attention in genre circles for its production design and ambitious casting choices.

Early viewers give the series a 7.8/10 based on limited votes, noting its recurring themes of identity, memory, duty, and love under pressure. The writing leans into moral ambiguity, and the cast’s work in multiple intertwined roles has been singled out by audiences as central to the emotional weight.

The clear visual contrasts, elaborate costumes, and the leads playing multiple incarnations have inspired fan art, cosplay, and online theory threads. Discussions often circle the show’s image motifs and the shifting definition of heroism, which keeps fan communities engaged while new episodes roll out.
