So basically she's trans and gets cured of her gender dysphoria by the end of the story... which you can take as however you want to take that.. yeah... ummm... the censorship board must have been all over this one.

It gets funnier and funnier from there.

They play with indicating that their parents are related in the drama without directly saying it. You really get that indication, to the point some international viewers who never read the book, also think they are cousins, rather than not the same family. Probably because they took much of the dialogue one for one. It was to the point by the middle of the first episode, I was pretty sure they were cousins. Rather than Neighborhood Gege/meimei and I hadn't looked it up yet.

Qiang Xuan is literally her first? I think cousin. So in Chinese drama land, even if it happened historically, it's not allowed. Final shippings are fairly clear.

You could push it to sooner to make sure you upvote the trailer videos on youtube... they might be considering those as well for order of airing.

Mysterious Lotus Casebook aired instead. Be hilarious if they push it to winter.

Edit: You'll get the joke if you read the book.

That's Yu Chang Yu. He Wen Xiao does the female lead.

Basically, the original story is at the end of the story. Originally, she and her husband met at a cafe where she worked, fell in love on a more normal route, got married, were really happy together, decided to go on a Honeymoon, but got into an earthquake. During their rescue, Husband and wife spun a tale to try to keep Zhenzhen from dying, Yun Chen put a lot of effort into trying to deflect he was really hurt.

The tale they spun together brings us back to the beginning of the tale, which then played out in her coma, where it was actually her trying to remember her parents and Yun Chen and her real past, but she struggled really hard.

The reason he kept getting amnesia was because that was her struggling to remember that they were both badly hurt.

So by the end of the story, she's caring for him in a coma, and what was a flat tale, twists into an epic love tale that's more realistic and shows how they actually fell in love and the hardships they were willing to go through together. It ends with him beginning to wake up.

It wasn't so messy--it was non-linear storytelling where each stage led to the next and you got a clue, after clue something was not right, until the illusion literally broke and you found that the true love wasn't all these fancy CEOs, and actresses but smaller moments they worked hard to build together. A sweet take on love.

孙鱼洋 (Sun Yuyang) has a longer producing list.
"Knight of the Rose (2022)

0:23 seconds of the credits--around there.

Either way, the principle writer should be listed, and given a page, no?

Xuan Zhao did 你好神枪手 (https://kisskh.at/66047-hello-the-sharpshooter) not given credit on here and 天雷一部之春花秋月 (Love better than Immortality https://kisskh.at/31318-spring-flower-autumn-moon) (also not credited on here)? (Douban)
Xinran Li has no previous credits I can find in Chinese.
Xingxuan Lu has no previous credits.
Xue Leng has not additional credits.

I believe because of the way it's listed, Xuan Zhao would be head writer, and the others are probably assistant writers? At least Xuan Zhao probably should get a page at this point, given at least 2 high profile dramas. (Zhao is the surname)

Credit is given on ~0:44 on the credits, BTW, there are also script editors listed at the same time stamp, but I'm not sure how to list those.

The writer for this is occasionally the same screenwriter for The Killer is Also Romantic, particularly listed on Episode 3, but also where the characters show up from The Killer is Also Romantic. But the main screenwriter is Li Wenting (李文婷)--No page to them? The drama is so good, that I would be happy with a sad or happy ending. I'm not sure if that counts it as an associated drama or not.

The scriptwriters are: 赵玄 (Xuan Zhao) 黎欣然 (Xinran Li) 陆星璇 (Lu Xingxuan) 冷雪 (Xue Leng), but I can't find their profiles on here to add credit? There credits show up at 0:43 every episode of Anle, but also are confirmed by Douban and Wikipedia (Chinese). Are there profiles missing here? Does anyone want to add them?

It's within the first 6 episodes. But it's not a very good drama in my opinion. It's all over the place and the thing I was watching it for died when the director/writer (same person) basically told the actors to calm down. But that was the only reason I was watching. Ren Jialun acting over the top, etc. That dies by episode 6 and the cute bromance going also kind of dies. The plot doesn't really congeal at any point. The writing keeps throwing stale plot elements in because the director/writer has no clue. The psychology is 100% wrong and mostly copy-pasted from articles, without any understanding of what it means. And the first episode scene with the building jumping thing is all wrong. So I don't know if it's worth mining it for the Second leads.

Yes. It's the lead. There are no secondary relationships in that drama.

I like the plot on Wulin Heroes, but you have to have your brain turned on. It's not written linearly, which tripped up a lot of viewers, but if you've watched a ton of time travel plots then it's easy to follow. For those addicted to idol dramas and linear plots 24-7, it's more difficult. You also have to be skilled at picking up innuendo and know something about what ginseng is usually used for. The production values aren't high, but it is funny to the end.

Twilight has secondary characters falling for each other, woman falls first in that couple. But I didn't think the drama was very good.

This one and Hidden Love are the most popular C-dramas of this year (so far). But if you hate sadness and sudden change of direction, then New Life Begins is more for you.

Hidden Love had some, but it was far more muted than usual. Both secondary couples, she likes him first. Chinese dramas from this year have been backing off of secondary and third couples. I surmise because some people don't like them. I, personally, don't mind, but I think it's stronger with thematic plotting, but then I'm Korean and Koreans do that sort of thing. (Japanese too).

Divine Destiny has 2 couples running at once, but it's not very popular as a drama. It's also a lot less sugar than you're probably looking for. Depends on which you think is the secondary couple, but she likes him first, yes on one. The other it's almost mutual and at once.

Twilight also as a 40 episode drama has it, but again, not a very good drama. The Longest Promise also... but opinions are severely split on the drama due to the Female Main character's writing. If you're willing to ignore the female main character, and her general weirdness around agency and her personality (or lack thereof) then the drama is pretty good otherwise.
