Synopsis:

Twin girls are born to the mortal realm's Emperor.  

The elder sister, Princess Qing Kui, is beloved by the Emperor and betrothed to the heavenly prince. She is gentle and kind. The younger sister, Princess Ye Tan, is loathed by the Emperor for being inauspicious and betrothed to the demon prince.  Although she is also kind-hearted, Ye Tan has survived the last 18 years on her wit and cunning, and her prickly exterior hides a vulnerable heart. 

Despite their upbringing, the sisters share a close sisterly bond.  

On the day they are due to be married off to their respective grooms, a mix-up occurs and Qing Kui ends up in the demonic void realm, whilst Ye Tan ends up in the heavenly realm.  But perhaps some mistakes are meant to be as Qing Kui finds herself falling for the devilish 3rd Prince Chao Feng, while Ye Tan finds that sparks fly between her and straitlaced heavenly prince Shao Dian You Qin.

However, just as Ye Tan and You Qin begin to know their hearts, they are parted, and Ye Tan must return to the mortal realm to find the shards of You Qin's soul. This in turn leads to the revealing of a secret tied to the twin sisters that threatens renewed chaos in the four realms...

First thoughts:

🐼: The Starry Love (2023) gives us the "wrong carriage, right groom" trope in a xianxia setting. 16 episodes in, this is really enjoyable.  What's more, despite the relatively serious tone of the trailer, this drama is surprisingly funny! 😆
