I was enjoying the series until the episode where the main character (Lu Lingfeng) started shouting and beating a man that he (wrongly) thought had an affair with another man. The series, in many episodes, tries to give a moral compass, and it appears that being part of the LGBTQ+ community is not right. That really killed the show for me; I could not stand the hero anymore. I do not look for pro-LGBTQ content, but I cannot accept an anti-LGBTQ stance.
It is a pity since the acting is mostly good, the "investigations" interesting, and, in like most of these Chinese fantasy / historical movies, the sets and costumes are magnificent.
