When I visited WB and saw such posts, I couldn't assist Chinese Yuanbao in defending him 😭 because I don't know Chinese and couldn't create a WB account, my attempts were blocked for some reason.
I could only read translations of the page into English.
Now here it's in English, I'll do my best to protect and defend him from misinformation as much as I can. 😤
Passersby will notice that there are fans who are protecting him and verifying information before believing it. 😊

Let me do it. I can't ignore this.
The drama page should only be for discussing the drama itself, not for someone to complain or spread fault information.

Once again, we haven't mentioned anything about the first billing.
Besides, LQ has already agreed to take on this role, indicating that she and her team are okay with whatever billing position there is.
If this drama isn't suitable for her, she can reject it outright; no one is forcing her or her team to accept it.
Please refrain from bringing this up here again, or else find another place to voice your concerns.

I don't usually argue with people on the internet, but I want them to understand that CZY isn't someone who can be easily bullied here 😡

Yes, it does appear quite short, perhaps due to the genetics.
The horses in the drama usually appear stronger and have longer legs.
Anyway, they do look cute though! 😁

I completely agree with the need for equal billing to resolve these plain and frustrating billing issues. It's been a headache and is really ruining the atmosphere of the drama 😩. To be honest, we weren't the first to bring up the billing issue; someone else started and spread the false rumor. Regarding SF4, if you know how much J gets paid compared to CZY and the other cast members, you'll see that no matter who spreads the rumor, it's clear that he didn't even receive equal billing or anything similar.
I didn't capture those information from WB as that payment report was posted several months ago.

Are there any CZY fans here discussing the billing issue?
It seems like there's ONLY YOU spreading misinformation about it.
Our focus here has been on discussing the drama itself, and we're thankful that Li Qin chose to take on this role.
As real fans, you should support her and refrain from unnecessary criticism about the billing issue with no valid or reliable source as LQ chose to play in this drama by herself not like someone forcing her to do.

Let's steer clear of toxic behavior here and avoid spoiling the drama's atmosphere. Instead, let's focus on enjoying the drama together.

Talking about Twitter, thank God he has fewer to no haters there. Maybe Chinese entertainment on Twitter/X is not as intense compared to K-pop, lol.
Yep, they call him ugly because he doesn't have a tall-bridge nose and isn't 185-190+ cm tall 🤣 but he's far from ugly, for sure.
Many international fans consider him good-looking and handsome including us lol.

Sometimes I avoid CZY's circle on Weibo due to the negativity and insults from YXH and other haters.
They criticize him for everything imaginable—like body shaming for his height compared to taller Chinese actors over 185++ saying he is so short (They can't bully him for his good proportion because he is slender with long legs, but he may appear shorter when standing next to tall actresses and actors.) , calling him ugly (which makes me wonder to see the real face of them behind that posts!), posting he is bad at acting , and comparing his popularity to other 95ers actors.
They even claim he's not popular in China and post side-by-side pictures to argue he's less attractive than others.
Despite being in the industry for over 8 years, his dramas have low viewership blah blah blah. 😡

There's so much that I wish I could curse them out in Chinese on Weibo, haha. Sorry, I'm not good at ignoring these things.

WXY has a very good agency. They react very quickly which is good for him.

Good point! 😊

Based on your second point, that's also my biggest concern.
If iQiyi is inclined to push the drama aside, that could be the reason. It's okay with me if TWOT doesn't gain as much attention or popularity as HL, but it's satisfying to see him take on more serious roles like this.
As you mentioned, tragic stories aren't as popular as dramas with happy endings. People often prefer to avoid reality by enjoying romance dramas with super happy endings. When they know the ending is tragic, they tend not to start watching in the first place.

Nevertheless, I hope for the best for CZY; he still has a long way to go as an actor 🙂

yeah 🥺🥺

I sometimes wish I could ignore the toxic culture in C-ent that often spreads hate and misinformation, but since he's a Chinese actor, I can't completely ignore it. It's really disheartening. I would love to see him in a drama outside of Chinese platforms, like a Netflix original. However, that seems unlikely since he's with iQiyi.

We share the same opinion here! I completely agree, 100%. 😁

C-ents are so complicated when it comes to traffic stars. There's YXH and other haters trying to drag CZY down, almost as if they're afraid he'll become more popular.
Even though he's very popular internationally, his agency doesn't always react appropriately to everything.
They ignore bullying and misinformation from haters, remaining quiet, with only Yuanbao stepping up to protect him.
Despite being under iQiyi, which owns the platform, his agency doesn't seem proactive in finding good projects for him.
They also haven't responded well to brands that have reached out to them previously.
🙁🙁🙁

If iQiyi doesn't broadcast TWOT in Q3 as they mentioned, and since September is the last month of Q3, I'll be really mad if they push TWOT to Q4 again! 😡

That is why we show love and support for CZY here. Even with the little impact, they would realize that CZY is valuable more than they think he is.

If CZY can attract fans for both lighter and intense plots, it proves that he is a versatile actor. Right? 😉

Chinese audiences praise him a lot for his acting.
He's considered a genuine actor in China rather than just a traffic star.
Traffic stars typically attract younger fans who are more active on the internet, but ZSW's dramas appeal to audiences of all ages.
