TL;DR this anime maybe only for the book readers. Note that this review is only after watching first two episodes.

Watching the first episode feels like watching 10th episode of something, a lot of unfamiliar concepts: ghost marriage, ascension to heaven, gods, generals, heaven's realm, heaven's official, none of them explained, even in the second episode. Because I tried to learn a bit of Chinese culture before, I know that ghost marriage is a marriage between someone and dead people, but this is just one of the many concepts. Maybe an average Chinese person, the main target audience, maybe, don't need explanation of these things, I'm ... not sure. Because of these many unknown concepts, I cannot relate with the characters, I cannot relate to the situation they are put into.

I see this title got recommended in my Netflix home, and I saw the MAL rating was unusually high, then later I found out that the high rating was given by the book readers (I don't even know if it is a LN / manga / novel, it must be a book, I'm guessing). One nice thing about the anime I can say is the animation itself is good -- it's on the same tier as the others 8-rated anime in MAL, so if you read the book, maybe it's a good go.
