Yesterday they wore the same brand to Hengdian… Heyu wore a Protocol Index sweater / hoodie and Esther wore a Protocal Index jacket. They’re gaslighting me at this point

Nono just blurbs fans wrote themselves haha

Yeah that’s fair… I think it’s still worth reading but if it’s too tragic then I understand :)

Huh?

Oh yeah haha sorry wasn’t trying to defend the actors, more so trying to sell you on reading the novel 😂

I read the novel first, so I think it helped fill in a lot of the blanks as I was watching the show (if you ever wanna rewatch 🥺)

Fwiw, I think the leads did a great job of bringing the novel characters to life

10000000%. Got me wishing it happened in the show lol

Vibes: 100/10
Plot: ?/10

😎

No one asked for this, but this author writes some seriously good SAL fanfic (all rated PG) 😁

My favorite below, parts 1 & 2:

This comment made me choke on my food 😂

I saw this 😂

I’m cracking up at a Rednote comment about Esther’s new historical drama with her male lead (37 years old irl):

“If she makes him do tiktok dances, haters will say she’s committing elderly abuse” 😂

Yes! Her fluidity made her fight scenes look like poetry 😭

Lmao The Editing strikes again

Yeah haha I didn't mean to say it did poorly. I think all in all, it did well (AB28's comment provides more context).

He's now #9 on VPulse for global actors!!! His upcoming drama with Meng Zi Yi seems to have a lot of potential, so I think he's on the up and up!

And yes!!! I love these little details. He knows her family is well off but he still chooses to give her so much. It makes me tear up thinking about it LOL

I also randomly thought about marriage vows... "for richer for poorer, in sickness in health" -- he cherished her the most, above himself, while he was poor AND rich, and while he was health AND sick omg I'm gonna cry

LOL l tried but I was not successful. Lmk if you figure it out haha

They're colluding to keep us in the garage 😭

from ChatGPT (for context, I think SAL stabilized around 8500 which is pretty good):

iQIYI Heat Index = how hot a show is right now, combining views, completion rate, engagement, and buzz (not just clicks).

Levels that matter

< 6,000 → quiet / niche

6,000–8,000 → some buzz, modest success

8,000–9,000 → hot drama, clear commercial win

9,000–10,000 → breakout hit

10,000+ → rare, cultural phenomenon

Key takeaway:
A stable 8,500+ already counts as success.

Yeah I saw these comments but didn’t wanna bring the negativity up.

I’m gonna message you my thoughts haha
