Line #2 YMMV/QinsMoon


1	* {{Adorkable}}: Shaoyu, when he's trying to talk to Shi Lan. Also, half of Tianming's scenes, especially in the fourth season.
2	* ArchivePanic: The show currently has been running since 2007 with over 100 episodes. It doesn't help that season 5 at first released new episodes at the end of every month, then it eventually became bi-weekly and there are still side story specials that explore the backgrounds of other characters. Each season has been getting longer and longer as well; season 1 had 10 episodes, season 2 had 18, season 3 had 34, season 4 had 37, and season 5 had ''75''.
3	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Even though the soundtrack is very limited and can occasionally become MoodDissonance, it's still very beautiful.
4	** The opening theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKUOO6TENTg Moonlight]]" by Anson Hu.
5	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n98M0wGcug Snow Jade Flower]]", Xuenu's {{Leitmotif}}.
6	* BaseBreakingCharacter: Tian Ming, the protagonist himself. A lot of fans don't like him for being [[BrattyHalfPint too annoying]], [[{{Jerkass}} being disrespectful to everyone around him]], and [[SpotlightStealingSquad taking up screentime for characters who deserve it more]]. But others find him [[{{Moe}} adorable]], [[PluckyComicRelief hilarious]], and has shown [[TookALevelInKindness genuine]] [[TookALevelInBadass character development]]. It's no surprise that [[http://weibo.com/p/1001603914566986794080 he doesn't rank very high in popularity polls]]; even Yan Lu beats him by one place, [[EnsembleDarkhorse despite not even having half the screen time as he does]].
7	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
8	** Shao Siming has placed very high on popularity polls and has a lot of fanart even though [[TheVoiceless she has zero speaking lines]] and is only a minor villain at best. [[ADayInTheLimelight She even starred in her own [=OVA=].]]
9	** Yan Lu, for being an Adorkable NiceGuy, he even beats Tian Ming in the popularity poll.
10	* FoeYayShipping: There's ''lots''. There will be at least some fanart for every rivalry ship possible, which can range from Wei Zhuang/Ge Nie, Chilian/Xuenu, Baifengx/Dao Zhi, Zhang Han/Dao Zhi, Dao Zhi/Shao Siming, Xing hun/Tian Ming, Shen Qi/Yan Lu, and it goes on.
11	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The promotional trailers and specials.
12	** The end of the trailer for Season 5 has Ge Nie and Wei Zhuang look like they're going in for an intense battle as their allies watch... only for it to cut to them playing the Qin's Moon mobile game intensely on their phones. Chi Lian, Yingfu, Xuenu, and Dao Zhi look shocked, while Baifeng and Gao Jianli look completely unimpressed.
13	** Zhang Han has a mock interview about the events, which include a lot of retakes with Dao Zhi's arrest, to Zhang Han's annoyance.
14	* GottaShipEmAll: Especially in the Chinese fandom, doesn't help that the show has a large cast. It even went as far of having a popularity poll category exclusively for ships.
15	* HarsherInHindsight: In the first episode, Ge Nie encourages Tian Ming to be strong so he can walk his own path should he be no longer in this world to guide him. In December 2021, his voice actor Liu Qin passed away, shortly after the remaster of season 1 started airing.
16	* HoYay: Being a series where the majority of the cast are male, it won't be surprising to see some HoYay here.
17	** Zhang Liang and Yan Lu. The many moments of them having long conversations with each other heavily shows how Zhang Liang trusts Yan Lu the most. Yan Lu almost always knows whenever Zhang Liang is up to something and Zhang Liang usually confesses without a second thought. When Fu Nian finds out that [[spoiler:Shaoyu and Tian Ming are wanted criminals and are hiding in the Confucius school, Yan Lu tries to take all of the blame for Zhang Liang. Fu Nian then threatens to punish Yan Lu by expelling him from the school, so Zhang Liang starts showing a lot of concern and attempts to argue back with why they should not be punished despite Yan Lu trying to tell him to stop.]]
18	*** The manhua adaptation also included Zhang Liang requesting Li Si to let him team up with Yan Lu to fight against Sheng Qi, despite Yan Lu telling him he can handle him alone, which [[AdaptationExpansion did not occur in the show]].
19	** Tian Ming once kissed Shaoyu on the cheek in TheMovie. In the season 4 finale, after they crash landed onto the Mirage, Shaoyu cradles an unconscious Tian Ming on his lap, and when Tian Ming woke up, he smiles at him.
20	** Although it's {{Twincest}}, the token females of the Six Sword Slaves, Miehun and Zhuanpo, are featured in a [[http://images-fast.digu365.com/81f611293129dcd6b0742472950f11ae_0011.jpg promotional image where shows them touching each other rather seductively.]]
21	** When Tian Ming is trying to grab the Black Dragon Scroll from Zimu in his sleep, the rope he uses snaps and he falls onto the ground, Zimu unconsciously rolls over and starts ''cuddling him''.
22	*** After Tian Ming takes the Black Dragon Scroll, he grabs a sleeping Zicong and makes him and Zimu snuggle each other. When Fu Nian catches the disciples sleeping, they woke up screaming at each other's faces.
23	** Meng Tian and Fu Su during season 5, when Fu Su gets banished by Ying Zheng to the northern region and is poisoned, Meng Tian happens to be the only person to show concern about him. Not even Ying Zheng, Fu Su's own ''father'', bats an eye at him collapsing.
24	* JerkassWoobie:
25	** Chilian spent her life locked inside the Han castle and later watched it burn down after failing to assassinate Ji Wuye when she was arranged to marry him.
26	** Baifeng is a cold blooded assassin but at the end of ''Birdsong in Hollow Valley'', he witnesses the deaths of his friends and could not do anything about it, and Wei Zhuang had to tell him how weak he was to rub salt onto the wound.
27	* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Everyone to an extent is this, however the one who has the most ships is Baifeng, he has been shipped with Chilian, Shao Siming, Nong Yu, [[HoYay Wei Zhuang, Moya, and Dao Zhi]].
28	* NightmareFuel:
29	** Yue'er's past, a young girl witnessing her kingdom being massacred before her eyes.
30	** Xing hun's unsettling interest in Yue'er, and [[spoiler:then taking control of her in season 5.]]
31	* PortmanteauCoupleName: For just about every ship:
32	** Ge Nie/Duanmu Rong is Nie Rong
33	** Gao Jianli/Xuenu is Gao Xue
34	** Tianming/Gao Yue is Ming Yue
35	** Shaoyu/Shi Lan is Yu Lan
36	** Wei Zhuang/Chilian is Wei Lian
37	** [[HoYay Zhang Liang/Yan Lu]] is Liang Yan
38	** Moya/Baifeng is Mo Feng/Ink Phoenix
39	** And so on...
40	* StrangledByTheRedString: All the canon couples with the possible exception of Gao Jianli/Snow Lady have little to no build up.
41	* TakeThatScrappy: Detractors of Tian Ming were ''very'' satisfied when Xuenu threatened to decapitate him in [[EstablishingCharacterMoment her introduction scene.]]
42	* TearJerker:
43	** Yue'er's past, not only did the poor girl witness the Qin Empire massacring her kingdom, but she also witnessed her father being killed by Wei Zhuang. [[spoiler:And to makes things worst, it is revealed that her father is still alive but dies before he was able to see his own daughter again.]]
44	** [[spoiler:Duanmu Rong's HeroicSacrifice and falling into a coma at the end of season 2.]]
45	** [[spoiler:The death of Ah Gang, who was sent to find reinforcements only to be told that the King of Yan has abandoned the kingdom and gets taken hostage by the Qin soldiers. He gets taken back to Da Tiechui to tell that there is [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption no hope left for the Yan army to fight back against the Qin]]. Ah Gang then gets stabbed by Meng Tian and dies in Da Tiechui's arms.]]
46	** [[spoiler:Dao Zhi's breakdown in response to the prison guard's sacrifice, which was over a lie.]]
47	** [[spoiler:Zhongli Mei's death. Although the next episode it turns out to be a DisneyDeath and he somehow survived beyond all odds.]]
48	** [[spoiler:Xiao Ling's death, even though he initially tried to blame the girl who would be named Shao Siming when they were caught. He entered the Yin-Yang School to find his missing sister, and when he asks to know about her status before he dies, he only gets [[{{Troll}} played with by Xing Hun]]. When the girl finds herself unable to beg for his life and is pressured by the Yin-Yang leaders, Xiao Ling ''urges'' her to kill him and purposely draws out her full potential, then drops his guard, lets himself take the full brunt of her attack, and throws himself into the pit. What makes it even worse is the suggestion is that Shao Siming ''is'' the sister he's been looking for all along.]]
49	* TheWoobie:
50	** Yue'er. She has witnessed the massacre of her kingdom and the murder of her father. Her father has also left her heartbroken mother for another woman, she gets forcefully taken away by her best friend by Yueshen and then brainwashed into being a Yin Yang disciple, and lastly [[spoiler:her father has been revealed to be alive the whole time only to die before they could see each other again]]. Many would wish she gets a happy ending.
