And to continue the theme of 'Martha just doesn't grok romance'. Despite literal romantic violins in the background, my only thought here is
"Excellent! It's possible to see how his clothes are constructed!"*
(*His undergarment is made of a rather losely woven cotton fabric - though it could be linnen or synthetic. The fabric is also crinkled before it's sewn, which doesn't bode well for his BO.)
Since cutesy-fun moments of misunderstanding between couples are lost on me* (they're tied together Because Reasons), I'm contemplating that bookstand in the background. Excellent contraption!
(*I think it's the third time I've seen a scene of this flavour in a drama, and only now I realise it's a thing that have narrative tension to a person who likes romance. In my case I'm just waiting until someone gets murdered again.)
Nope. None of us is looking at the main couple scuttling off together. We're just looking in the same direction for reasons.
Another example of 'the more bonkers the theme, the more grounded the details'. I can't say how accurate that purse is for China, but it could have been lifted straight from a painting by Albertus Pictor (Swedish 15thC church painter) or earlier sources. It used to be called cut-purse, since it was easy for pickpockets to cut its strings and run off. This version is fastened with locked metal hoops, though, so I don't think Xuanjue worries.
"A medical formation" - looks very much like Xuanjue pours a salt ring around the house. Not wrong - it works on autonomous cars after all - and it's interesting to see it in a Chinese context. I associate the method with the Anglophone sphere. Old Swedish methods involved bolting tokens to things, or keeping steel or silver for protection.
The construction of his shoes is also interesting - they're really made to stay on.
For the record: this is the first time I've seen xianxia sideburns. An underused part of character design if you ask me, but you also need to dial up the way-outness of the drama pretty hard for it to work.
Ooooooh! Those rotating apothecary cabinets are So Cool! You have no idea how many times I've planned to build one! Nevermind that each drawer usually is triangular-ish and only suitable for dried pl...
Spices! I could build a miniature version of those for my kitchen! The spice must fl... spin!
*cough*
Anyway! Let's get back at the demon crimes. This show definitely has a vibe of xianxia Midsomer Murders (so far).

I hope xianxia redshirts have more luck than Star Trek ditos. At least these two have names.
_S_ound Eel it is. While I am disappointed that I won't be able to make a Talpa clan joke (and a very obscure Swedish comics reference), I quite like that mask!
A tragic death and good acting, and I'm looking at the table... I guess the tiger never loses its spots*. In my defence; I have been looking for a nice looking model for a camping table, and that tea table is a good candidate. It's bumped to the 'may actually be made' section of my DIY list.
