Adapted from the web novel "Ancient Godly Monarch" by Jing Wu Hen.
Filming was intended to take place during the summer but due to rainy days in June, the director decided to film in the rain. He praised the cast for their professionalism and thought the rain added a piercing beauty to the scenes.
Peter Sheng's filming schedule would often last 12-13 hours each day, but he still kept to his workout routine.
For both Peter Sheng and Olivia Wang, it is the most fighting that they've done for a production. They tried to avoid using stunt doubles as much as possible and insisted to do their own fighting scenes.
Following The Legend of JADE SWORD (2018), it is the second high fantasy costume drama by Beijing Joy Eastern. There are many crossovers from the costume, the props, the set design and the special effects as both have the same production team.
