Sorry but meng ziyi has such a proud aura,I mean it fits her and this role but I don't really like it outside…
Maybe you haven’t seen much of her personality outside of dramas. I actually started liking her because of who she is off-screen. I’m someone who watches a drama, then checks out the cast in real life and just respects everyone for their work. That’s how I came across Meng Ziyi.
But what truly made me admire her was her real personality. She never gives up. She’s kind, straightforward, and stands strong even when facing backlash. She accepts her weaknesses openly—like when she says she’s not good at singing or dancing—but instead of avoiding them, she tries to learn and improve, no matter what the outcome is. That courage to try, even if she might fail, is something I really respect.
She also seems loyal to her friends, supportive of her co-stars, and carries herself with dignity around male actors without creating unnecessary drama. That resilience, honesty, and determination are what made me like her even more.
Hey like this any drama is there where the novel fans protested hated about casting ?
Yeah I saw post where they mention Rongzhi I felt familiar name but i didn't get it know you mentioned i remembered wher we have xu kai,bailu,zhou lusi right that dram where song wei long first debuted...bro but really so much hate for both of them from this drama ... I kinda worried about their friendship they where fine till now ...after this what will happen i kinda worried about that ...so much controversy
Yes, it’s yet another sad case of a novel being sacrificed to the traffic. I absolutely hate it when they re-write…
I am accepting she is a raising star but not traffic actors ..I searched traffic actors are yang mi ,yangzhi,zhoulusi,bai lu etc they are set to be traffic star in china right and she is taking route of trafic star ..idk about her last two dramas where with lin yunrui and heyu both of them are also raising star right then come she become traffic star ..coz her dramas are not yet aired ....I will definitely accept her as rising star not traffic star. ...rewrite
No one is saying she can’t act. most of the things you wrote probably applies to almost all the actresses because…
Bro, that message was not about the drama or the novel itself. It was only for the people who keep saying, “She can’t act,” “She’s a crown princess,” or “She only has popularity.” That’s it.
And when people say she’s popular but “not that popular outside China” — okay, fine. But that’s not the point. This novel was always going to be controversial if it got adapted into a drama. No matter who they cast, the actress would face backlash.
If they cast a traffic actress like Dilraba Dilmurat, people would say she’s too old or too overexposed. If they cast a younger actress like Ai Mi, people would question how she could handle a romance-heavy role.
It honestly depends on people’s mindset. They’ll always find something to criticize.
As a fan, I actually don’t even want her to take this role. She already faced so much hate from the novel fans before, and I don’t want her to go through that again. But I also know she may not have full control — managers and agencies sometimes push these decisions.
If she does take it, I know she’ll face hate again, especially from CP fans and other fandoms. As a fan, I can only pray she gets less hate this time and stays strong. That’s all.
Some people claim that actresses only get roles based on current popularity, but do you actually know what Meng Ziyi went through before she became popular? She faced so much hate from C-netizens, including death threats, because of the backlash from The Untamed. For two years, she didn't have a good life because of that. You know how toxic the industry can be. She faced a mountain of hate, but she proved to those same netizens who she really is and what her real personality is like. She has come a long way from hate to love. People act like she has done 10+ lead dramas to get here, but do you know how few main roles she has actually had? Between 2020 and 2025, she only had about five aired lead roles. In Shopping Addict and Legend of Two Sisters in the Chaos, she was still facing heavy backlash and couldn't even appear properly in the media. After that, she had to take supporting roles just to work her way back to a main role. When Royal Rumors came out, it was an A-level production that C-netizens finally appreciated. Then she got In Blossom as a lead and received even more appreciation. She also filmed The Princess's Gambit before the success of In Blossom. Even then, people hated on her for her makeup, her looks, or said she just "opened her eyes wide and did nothing." Yet, that drama was popular in Mainland China and liked by family audiences. International fans often don't know what she went through. They never look beyond the "reel." If you really see her, you understand. Some call her pretentious, but how long can someone stay pretentious? She is very loyal to her friends, very kind, and very strong. After the negative feedback, she didn't hide; she stood her ground and improved herself. You can see her improvement in variety shows. C-netizens started liking her because she learns from her mistakes and tries to be better. She isn't the type of actress who is "multi-talented" in singing or dancing, and she openly accepts that she can't do those things well—but she tries. She tries to learn and improve for the fans. Finally, if you call her a "Crown Princess" or a "popular actress," you have to realize she faced everything in the industry to get there. She moved from being hated to being loved. I feel like the toxicity doesn't just come from the industry, but from toxic fans too.Sometimes I feel like not only the Chinese industry is toxic, but even some C-drama fans can be toxic too. I am not asking anyone to like or support her. I am just asking people to respect her hard work and speak politely when talking about her. If you don’t like her or her acting, just ignore her and comment on the rest. If you don’t like her acting, it’s okay because she is not a top-notch actress, but she is not as bad as people mention either. In my opinion, no actress is completely top-notch because everyone has flaws. At some point, we may not feel their acting is fully natural or real. And I request, in the name of opinions, please don’t hate or say that they can’t act. For example, if you are working or a student and you work so hard on your project for your manager or professor, and you give your best, how would you feel if someone said you are completely bad at what you do? You people answer this question. In the same way, don’t say such things about their hard work. I am not only saying this on behalf of Meng Ziyi; I am saying this for any actress in that place. We just need to be polite. That’s it.
Its not wang hedi's mistake and mengziyi mistake its the mistake of productio who wanted wang hedi from 2022 ...elders…
Her character, a doctor from the Wen clan, is actually pretty great! 🩺 But, she's getting a lot of hate online because fans feel she got more screen time than in the novel.

Actually, she faced huge backlash after The Untamed, which is one of the biggest and most viewed dramas in mainland China. In that drama, she played the role of Wen Qing, and she received an unbelievable amount of hatred. Some people accused her of getting extra scenes with the main leads because of “connections” with powerful people in the production team. There were even disgusting rumors, like claiming she must have slept her way into those scenes. None of it was proven, but the accusations spread everywhere. She was also criticized for something as small as her nail polish in a costume drama. Her nail color was just a light peach shade, yeah at that time there is rule of no nail color rule in costume drama On top of that, she was attacked with horrible comments—people calling her arrogant, ugly, and even spreading rumors that she had tumors or had plastic surgery. The online hate became extreme. Because of all this backlash, she stayed out of the spotlight for almost two years and mostly appeared in variety shows during that period. At that time, she was an upcoming rising star, but the rumors and negativity affected her career a lot. In 2021, she joined the variety show Wonderland, and through each season, she slowly proved what kind of person she really is. People started appreciating her personality, her straightforwardness, and how genuine she seemed. Instead of immediately getting lead roles, she worked through many supporting roles. One of the notable ones was Royal Rumours, a well-received A-level drama with 24 episodes, which helped her regain public support. Then, finally, she got her breakthrough with Blossom. She has repeatedly said that she only followed the script during The Untamed and never used any inappropriate connections, but back then, no one wanted to listen. After the success of Blossom, she said the same thing again. And honestly, my point is simple: if she truly had powerful connections, she wouldn’t have suffered so much after the backlash. She wouldn’t have had to struggle through years of hate and supporting roles. If she really had that kind of influence, she would have easily continued getting major lead roles without going through all of this.
But what truly made me admire her was her real personality. She never gives up. She’s kind, straightforward, and stands strong even when facing backlash. She accepts her weaknesses openly—like when she says she’s not good at singing or dancing—but instead of avoiding them, she tries to learn and improve, no matter what the outcome is. That courage to try, even if she might fail, is something I really respect.
She also seems loyal to her friends, supportive of her co-stars, and carries herself with dignity around male actors without creating unnecessary drama. That resilience, honesty, and determination are what made me like her even more.
