i understand your sentiment.. i also feel so sorry for him, but i guess if i was in RSB’s shoes i would similarly be guarded against LJL. she knows she’s being biased, with him, she breaks all the rules and she rebels. she lets him indulge and pays special attention to him, gives him food, special medicine beautiful clothes. she even gave him an attendant!! hahaha.. she herself has inner turmoil of trying to avoid her emotions to run her life, she tries to convince herself that they’re not meant to be together, she takes into account for his interests as well (also as a watcher i only realised this after following xmy’s logic) that if he marries her, his career will not be able to take off. but LJL himself feels that rsb is the one who can make him feel at home after losing his mom, adoptive father, his benefactor and his teacher. she knows that LJL is smart and crafty, so she also tests him and her own feelings. after rewatching a couple of times and trying to understand both views, i appreciate this couple’s push and pull more!!! it’s very well written

he’s not stupid. he investigates well. but RSB has years of experience with Linji government officials and lots of spies and informants, so naturally she knows more. LJL just came. RSB prepared this plan well. there’s a lot of hidden details like there is actually two factions, the emperor and empress dowager. LJL is emperor’s favored, but he’s still relatively a new official. and he justtt came to Linji. RSB’s character is written to be slightly older than him. you can say that RSB is a better strategist but LJL is a great tactician. both are highly intelligent, and realistically, LJL deals with problems as they come.

so many great details, it has wonderful rewatch value!!

yea it was in hengdian

yes they’re so precious! hahaha 😂😂

hahaha same.. i just rewatch everything he did from end to end 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 most other drama feels light and lifeless compared to his

does anyone know whether he will have a special performance tonight like last year with Tanggula?

random question, when are they continuing the sequel for “i am nobody”?

no, it’s just polarizing. different people view and attach meaning to the ending differently. this drama forces you to think deeply

love and reverence comes from a place of understanding

Hou Minghao, such vibrant energy!

"He's the person I want to be but can never be: self-disciplined, high-energy, self-regulating, not prone to internal conflict, and always striving to achieve his dreams."

"He's not my ideal partner, he's my ideal self."

I cried while watching this 😭

Hou Minghao is even more charismatic in person than in his roles.[Give me a hug]
My brother, Hou Minghao, is my sun and light, and I believe he's also an idol to many.

Because of Hou Minghao, sometimes I think the word "idol" has rediscovered its original meaning.

It refers to someone worthy of respect and admiration
, a positive role model
, someone who provides social value and contributes to a better life

i just realized something funny.
10 mins after the black campaign started the studio posted that it’s fake. hmh was doing photoshoots so they posted a video of him laughing about 42 mins later and captioned “the boss said it’s kind of funny”
and his post got flagged “this post, which involves marketing and promotion is currently under review and cannot be shared at this time”
They actually reported his post!! hahaa there was no brand mention at all. 😂

you know what I also stumbled across some comment saying that it’s because of a resource war. He won a really good script so other companies are paying a lot of money to try and blacken him. I’m just excited to see what sort of “good script” lands his way!

Who else misses Tanggula?

my XHS feed is full of tanggula nostalgia posts now, everytime I remember that fan screaming “Tanggula!” in the Glory Start of Filming Fan Meet I just laugh so much 🤣
I hope he gets another good song this year!

it’s so funny that netizens just dismissed it as well. commenting that he’s well known to be a workaholic and has no time to date anybody. 300 days in hengdian in a year! he was still working up till 3 am that day. 😂

if it passed censorship means that there won’t be any inappropriate scenes. relax, it’s just a tv series, any normal person would be able to differentiate between real life and fiction.

The boss was so sweet to him with all those thoughtful gifts and they organized so many gifts for the kiwis as well!! I’m very curious of the diary that they made where they compiled quotes of what he said to the kiwis… ! trying to screenshot and translate it but it’s a bit blurry.. can anyone help?

exactly! haha reminds me of when he was in a tencent conference, interviewed for a mango tv show and promoting an upcoming youku costume drama.. 😂😂😂 that was one of the best epic moments tbh, the crowd also went wild...

what is tencent doing? I thought they weren’t working together…??? are they warming up the stage for him? will the modern drama be with them? i hope they revive “wo+” for the international market 😭🙏🏻

he’s always so passionate about his characters! can’t wait to meet Xiao Wuyi in the Summer!!
