1. Ashes of Love

Like many fantasy series released in China, this one is based on a Xianxia novel. Sixty episodes of heart-wrenching drama about a girl whose mother gave her a pill to never feel love for any male figure in order to save her from future love trials.

3. Eternal Love

Eternal Love is also an adaptation of a Xianxia novel. The series revolves around an immortal being named Bai Qian after she sacrifices herself during a war. The thing is, that was exactly what her fiancé did many thousands of years ago to stop another war.

4. Legend of Fuyao

Legend of Fuyao takes place in a universe similar to ancient China. It has five kingdoms united by an imperial city: Tianquan. At that time, a woman named Fuyao was formed from a lotus flower and immediately enslaved.

5. Love Between Fairy and Devil

This is definitely one of the most recommended Chinese fantasy dramas. The story is full of action and dark twists. Thousands of years ago, the God of War defeated the Demon Lord, and he was enslaved. But the unstoppable happens when a little fairy accidentally sets him free.

7. Till the End of the Moon

The 40-episode series was released in 2023, and if you haven't watched it yet, now is the time: the series follows a devil god, Tantai Jin, who is about to unleash evil on the world, and it's up to Li Susu to go back in time and stop Tantai Jin, then a human being, from becoming immortal.
