Erm...these people are real. It was pretty much confirmed with the cultivation arc. these people live in what I would call a "pocket dimension". By "real" I mean are sentient and free will, which they have that at least while she is in the story.
As much as I would like to simp over crown princes it annoys me that they make it so utterly obvious that the crown prince is main lead. Kiel is my favorite guy character in here but he really is too normal to be main lead(from a readers standpoint but as a fan he would be best boy in a heartbeat)
