Can I also say how charming Yu Shuxin personality is.
She's super friendly like XLH that many famous personality supported her by reposting her XLH poster / commenting to show support before LBFAD airs. Artists are THE9 members, Bai Lu, Bai Jingting, Lin Yi, Angela Baby, Ren Jialun, Song Weilong, Zhang Xincheng, Fan Chengcheng, Yang Chaoyue, Ding Yuxi, Zhang Binbin, Chen Jiabin, Wei Daxun, Ouyang Nana, Li Chen, Lin Gengxin, Li Jiaqi, Wu Xianyi, etc.
I like the body swap of DFQC in Xiao Lan Hua's body because it grants Yu Shuxin's wish to play villain in some sort hahaha. Because when she says this on Play Fridge with Jackson Wang, Gong Jun, He Jiong and other, they tease her of what will happen if she plays a killer/antagonist and they tease her (no harm meant). So funny because in China, her being cute, coquesttish, bubbly, milky voice, fun and naughty personality is deeply rooted to the netizens there so it's hard to believe. So as a fan, this is very satisfying to me. (1:21:00)
Gong Jun even said that she's like those female protagonist in the idol dramas (1:19:44). He Jiong even said if he would trade with Shuxin, he wants to get her her sense of drama is just right and don't give off the feeling of faking it..
COPY PASTE FROM MY COMMENTS BEFORE IN LBFAD TO PROTECT SHUXIN SINCE SHE’S GETTING POPULAR AND TRYING TO BREAK THE STIGMA ABOUT CUTE GIRLS.
I'm doing this since the drama is popular and I'm afraid some people keep attacking Esther Yu Shuxin especially her voice. (I also know some passerbys are just giving their honest opinion so I'm acknowledging it, just don't result to ad hominem and fake analysis in order to score the drama low. To her fans like me please don't join nonsense fight, we all know that it will only affect her since she's the one who is known. Defend her reasonably. I'm not here to fight, just to clarify some misunderstandings about her. Let's all have peace of mind.
1. Is it her voice in Love Between Fairy And Devil? - From what I know, she's the only one confirmed who uses her real voice (the cute one and the one when she body swaps as DFQC). DFQC is dubbed by a voice actor, I don't know if Dylan Wang dubs XLH when he body swaps. I know this because the one who supposed to dub him is they said a famous voice actor but I forgot the name, but they change it to another dubbing actor because it's too deep and mature for Dylan Wang face value or age (That's what I saw before on weibo when they release the first trailer). Both voice actors were great since I can't judge it critically since I'm not professional voice actor. I'm not sure about supporting characters. I have no idea if they dub themselves or not.
I also believe that producer and director won't let her dubbed Xiao Lan Hua if it doesn fit. It's a big plus if Shuxin dubs it will make her fan happy because almost of her dramas were dubbed by her except in Amazing Boyfriend 2 (Since she's not original voice actress in Season 1), As a fan, I know her voice and I'll be uncomfortable if I hear other voices especially if I hear so familiar voice actors who dubbed so many characters in CDRAMA that in my mind I'll be imagining other person.
Also, she was given a chance to mandarin dubbed in MY LITTLE PONY. A proof that her dubbing is recognized. Her first ever movie voice acting job. So means it's just her voice and not trying to sound like a child. Also, there's rules for dubbing. Not every actors in China can dubbed because of a certain srtandard.
Aside from that, she was praised by a famous dubbing actor when she dubs a little lines of Baoqing Fox (A Sassy Character in White Snake)
And I believe there's someone to guide her while dubbing Love Netween Fairy and Devil because in My Little Pony dubbing vlog, there's someone to guide her. It doesn't mean that it doesn't suit your preference, it doesn't mean it's childish. You have to know first what the character do like is the character being unreasonable in work or being petty when it comes to her friends. Just don't immediate jump into conclusion that someone is childish because of her voice. Please know that in real life, we have different characters, pitch of voice and mannerism. I also acknowledge that some of us have ear sensitivity and character preferences, but we should also know the word respect, and the difference between giving constructive criticsm from just throwing hate on someone.
At first, I really don't get why people are pinpointing on Shuxin's voice and suddenly says it as childish without giving as an explanation. People telling act her age. I'm super confused. It's supposed to be cute and coquettish and some people want her to talk according to their preferences,
2. Which of those voice is her most natural ones? Why is she the FL? - It's definitely without a doubt her natural cute coquettish voice that everyone questions to the point they question if she is faking her personality and trying to be cute. It's so funny how can people easily judge, You can watch her interviews, vlogs, variety shows especially behind the scenes of Cang Lan Jue and you know they chose her as the female lead.
-Since she always given role of cute characters, aside that her voice is naturally in high pitch and need to act cute and soft, people immediately judge it as childish.
-With this, I just want to point out that why we always stereotype Strong female character and portray it to be always to be tough, fierce, bad@ss, sassy, diva. It is really satisfying to watch because it looks like it represents equality. In reality, strong female are multi-dimensional who undergoes different phases and experiences. So if you encounter someone who you hear talks in high pitch and naturally cute voice doesn't immediately mean they are childish. You just lack understanding, because you already judge someone without paying attention to manners and actions .
3. Why she always play cute roles? Why her character always annoying? A. It's so hard for her to get out from cute role since she's been stereotype since she got recognized for her acting as Cai Minmin that even got her nominated; and especially when she joins Youth With You 2 that people see her personality as cute, coquettish, bubbly, naughty. Since YWY2, some think she's an idol turned actor and uses it as an insult against her (Although I see nothing wrong if you change career as long as you're passionate in you're craft. In fact she's an actor who joins an idol group.
B. Another answer based from one of her interview, She learned from one of his mentors that you need to be known first for a certain role (for example cute role)than to keep on jumping from one role to another without being known to prove versatility.
C. Last thing is, not all actors can choose script especially if they're just starting, and they sometimes many compete for the same script or if the company will allow it.
So it's not her fault, depends on the character. She just always landed on cute roles because it's one of her branding image. Another thing, xianxia dramas love to use cute voices a lot. If you are used in watching Hollywood, it definitely isn't for you.
Copying my comments from LBFAD page to show appreciation for my love, Esther Yu Shuxin
Yu Shuxin is really good at choosing scripts. She’s breaking the stigma in cute sweet girls. Her cute sweet characters can prove is another type of strong woman who fights when there are mistreatment and not stupid just like in her dramas Moonlight and Love Between Fairy And Devil.
Although in Love Between Fairy And Devil she portrays many personalities or characters, and not just being cute. Her character Xiao Lan Hua is the best Xianxia female character I’ve watched so far. She is the character that can convey true compassion and empathy. She have the best character development from being naive and coward to learning how to be strong for the people she loves. It’s rare to meet this kind of character who will just grow on you.
I find it funny that both in Moonlight and Love Between Fairy And Devil, they both use moon as symbolism and also both 2nd FL in her dramas is not petty and even become her friends.
And her next drama, A Romance Of Little Forest male lead is a botanist. Why her dramas seems to have a connection to each other.
Add on in Love Between Fairy And Devil. I also love their Yin Yang acting and their character personalities. Esther Yu in more subtle acting while Dylan Wang in intense acting. You cannot see that they overpower each other. They both highlight each other, and I think that’s also the reason why their chemistry works. One character is more of power while the other is about healing that creates a wonderful love with no boundaries.
It’s not that I’m pertaining about the used quoted “opposite attracts” but because the characters understand and both compromise each other despite of different views that shows a great love story. The title makes sense. It’s really indeed “Love Between Fairy And Devil”.
Also I notice Yu Shuxin have epic and memorable kisses in her dramas.
I’ve Fallen For You - Tumbling down with Thousands of Fireflies type of Kiss. Moonlight - Snow, Fireworks kisses, Award announcement cheek kiss projector.
Love Between Fairy And Devil - TOO MANY TO MENTION HAHAHAHA. AWESOME! THE BEST! BUT I MIGHT SAY BTS KISSES IS MORE BEAUTIFUL AND INTENSE HAHAHA.
Plus she both teach Dylan Wang and Ding Yuxi how to kiss behind the scenes hahaha.
Speaking of IQIYI, they had a better selection of dramas last year and this year, they barely made an appearance.…
I guess it’s because of their Light On Series this year who people have a lot of expectations because of their last year best dramas such as Bad Kids but failed this year.
I’m still wondering why IQIYI put Love Between Fairy And Devil in the Sweet On. I know they have the great love story but they also put me into sufferings hahaha. Although very heart warming and moving my heart.
This is not the kind of Sweet On I’ve watched from IQIYI last year. I’m avid fan of Tianchong dramas (sweet dramas). Not everyone cup of tea. But Tianchong dramas really show different types of female characters, all of them portrays different kind of strength, not just the stereotype cool and strong character that mostly prefer. You can find some career minded woman, a happy go lucky girl, sweet and cute charming, hardworking girl, etc. Plus it’s good to watch light hearted dramas.
And because of this Tianchong dramas, I found my sweet cute girls but my top fave is really Shuxin. I can’t stop talking about her.
I’m fan of Shuxin. I watch LBFAD really because of Shuxin. I don’t trust Dylan Wang before because of Miss the Dragon. Now he proves his acting so let give this female lead of her, Chen Yu Qi a chance. As an avid fan of Tianchong dramas (sweet dramas), Personally don’t see her suited in sweet cutesy roles but I see her clips good acting in serious roles when she’s a supporting lead. I think sweet role character is not just her genre. And maybe, she’ll be good with this one. Let’s give her a chance, same chance we give to Dylan.
Though this is still not my top priority, still hoping Xinxin drama with Binbin will air this September and other Xianxia. If not and this airs, definitely will give a chance.
dylan has another costume drama! wished there could be a better FL no offense i think she has wooden acting in…
In don’t think she’s bad. I’ve watch her clips where she is a support role, she really is good. I think cutesy sweet role is not her genre. She’s better off with more serious roles. Plus I believe let’s give her a chance like Dylan Wang.
I was replying below to one of commenters about XLH not suffering as much as DFQC... which is bullshtI wanna put…
Xiyun didn’t cry as much because she already saw the bone orchid and that gives her hope. And also who in the three realms wouldn’t know her healing power and DFQC view as true immortal. Isn’t 500 years of waiting, locked up, threatened, no freedom, being told a lie that you are just a tool and doesn’t love you by your lover isn’t suffering? I read the novel, I loathe DFQC there for all the worst thing he do in XLH. She change and suffer into different bodies because of DFQC. I cried so much for XLH in the novel. Thank God, in this drama, DFQC have more depth and setting. I like him in this drama. They didn’t just make you see the view of XLH suffering as much as DFQC.
Also I notice Yu Shuxin have epic and memorable kisses in her dramas.
I’ve Fallen For You - Tumbling down with Thousands of Fireflies type of Kiss. Moonlight - Snow, Fireworks kisses, Award announcement cheek kiss projector.
Love Between Fairy And Devil - TOO MANY TO MENTION HAHAHAHA. AWESOME! THE BEST! BUT I MIGHT SAY BTS KISSES IS MORE BEAUTIFUL AND INTENSE HAHAHA.

Chang Heng is not the weakest God of War. His power is sealed, that’s why he needs the marriage that Lord Yunzhong keep pushing. It is the promise and power made by other Gods as mentioned in the last episode. I wonder if some people skip it or did not comprehend.
I advice you to not skip it because every episodes is filled with symbolism. You really need to read between the lines. Don’t just read the lines as is. The CLJ team already said that they did not make any fillers.

I hope Shuxin can play all the character she wants in the future.
