Sword and Beloved arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The writing in Sword and Beloved treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. The drama series revolves around Wangquan Fugui, who is trained as the ultimate demon-slayer of the Yiqi Alliance since childhood, meeting Qing Tong, a spider demon who infiltrates Wangquan Manor as a spy. Qing Tong’s presence allows Fugui to broaden his horizon and change his view on demons. Yearning for freedom, Fugui’s fervor for attaining world peace is gradually ignited. Cheng Yi and Li Yitong lead a cast doing genuinely serious work here. It first aired in 2025. What elevates Sword and Beloved is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Drama fans who appreciate slow-burn storytelling will feel right at home with Sword and Beloved. Viewers who responded to The Untamed will find a lot to like here too. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Cheng Yi's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.
