Hey guys, is anyone interested in reading a fan fic about Xia Jingshi? Don't come at me ok π but I'm seriously obsessed with him. He's my guilty pleasure ππ€ͺ
(P.S. This fan fic that I want to write is purely for fun and to beta test my writing skills. Constructive criticisms are always welcome π
Those who are too serious about the character or hate him, kindly do not spam me with hate post, ok.βοΈ)
Wow! The writers didn't disappoint. I'm loving Xia Jingshi and his personality that's being revealed to us in layers. ππ I'm in love with his villainess π
He's going to use Princess Feng Xiyang to keep Feng Suige under control, maybe even try to get Fu Yixiao back to him.
I knew FSG & FYX will have to endure hell, but it's going to be even worse this time because now they're going to hurt for each other. The sister will also add to major pain for FSG if they take that aspect from the book. π€«
I love Fu Yixiao. She's my champion. ππ Damn! Haven't been so enraptured by a female character since a really long time.
Also, 'Da Hongza, Wo Aie Niyaaa'... πππ Damn! This man is pure husband material. That punch to the face of the Death Camp leader, it was delivered at such a perfectly timed moment. π I'm in love with FSG's ruthlessness. I would've punched that leader a few more times.
And I've suddenly realised, I'm in love with all the main characters here. This show has officially made me a fanatic ππ
Awesome analysis π§! As for XJS, I donβt think FXY stand a chance to have an affect on him. My guess is that…
Yeah. That guy has a lot of potential. He plays difficult characters and delivers each time but I wish those characters to be well written. I don't mind if Chen He Yi portrays negative characters, but at give him fully-fleshed characters. He deserves it.

Thanks for patiently reading my analysis ππ
But um, that poisoning thing is another mystery. Who poisoned him and why?
I wish Xia Jingshi is not typecast as a cardboard cutout villian. The more interesting the 'Antagonist' , the more agency the main characters will have. π€
Chen Zhe Yuan finally got a script + character that lets his acting skill shine. OMG!!! He's so perfect in his imperfections - the ruthless 1st prince, valiant warrior, cruel task master, strategist extraordinaire and yet his vulnerabilities make him so humane, his imperfections resonate with 'US', the target audience. His childhood trauma, the pain, loneliness, constant conspiracies and all the betrayal - It's a miracle he's turned out to be such a strong person. Anyone less fortunate would've become insane long agoππ.
I watched Li Qin for the first time in 'WAR OF FAITH' and I was very impressed with her acting. This is her second show that I'm watching and I think she's even better here. This lady rocks as Fu Yixiao - 'The Red Clad General' whose only mistake was to trust her saviour. She literally goes to hell and back, being saved by her enemy, tortured, broken, yet learning to swim against the current, again. ππ
And about the major conflict of the story - 'The consequences of one's choices', which brings me to Xia Jingshi.
This character was introduced to us as a prince of an enemy kingdom but as his layers are exposed, only this single question keeps us glued to him - What does Xia Jingshi truly desire? It is definitely NOT Fu Yixiao. He's fooling himself too.
Xia Jingshi is a complex character who fought for his kingdom for years, risking his life at every turn? He oscillates effortlessly between a love-sick, young and vulnerable prince to a cold and ruthless royal who can sacrifice his pawns anytime, if it suits his purpose.
The most pivotal scene of today is the confrontation scene between the four characters, which includes the Princess , Feng Xiyang - A character through which we, the viewers, are shown how ignorance, obsession and illusion can bring in massive downfall, not only to oneself but to everyone else who cares. She is also a major part of the core conflict in the story, the reason that will determine the choices of the main leads - FSG & FYX.
My expectation -
The Trigger - Feng Xiyang will either make or break Xia Jingshi. If he chooses her, then he gets a redemption arc, if not, his ending will be brutal. Not a physical death but something far darker.
The Resolution - Due to Feng Xiyang's choices in episodes 17 & 18, Feng Suige and Fu Yixiao will have to face their darkest fears. And those choices will leave them either permanently damaged or healed and how it will affect their world.

I'm rating the show an 8 because of the following:
1) I wish the writers would've shown us Jiang Qiao Xi's hardships in Hong Kong. It would've made the romance hit a different level. Only Ling Yin Tao realises what he faced. The audience is mostly left in the dark. Zhang Ling He and Zhao Jin Mai have such palpable chemistry. The writers didn't utilise even One-eighth of their potential. π
2) How could they not show us the dynamics between Yu Qiao and Qin Ye Yun? Both of them are such self-sacrificing and loyal people. They're bound to be together. They missed out on such an awesome romantic secondary arc.
This show ππ ARP after episode 13 ππ And everyone else on the team. Each person of the team has a distinct personality. The writing of this show is flawless. Guys rate for the show ππ
Those two scenes where Fu Yixiao is bracing for the impact on Feng Suige after hearing her out
And the confrontation between Murong Yao and Feng Suige.
Devastatingly perfect!!! Can this show get any better ππ I'm so spoiled now.
They gave every character a well-rounded arc. Secondary characters are not just for enhancing the Main Characters journeys ππ

I love Fu Yixiao. She's my champion. ππ Damn! Haven't been so enraptured by a female character since a really long time.
She's intelligent, skilled, capable of great tolerance and also has very strong protective instincts. That speech she gave to the courtesan, it was incredible. Most people when they get hurt or betrayed in love, blame themselves or their fates. But it isn't the fault of the victim, it is always that toxic person at fault, who hurts you. Thanks Fu Yixiao π€©π
Also, 'Da Hongza, Wo Aie Niyaaa'... πππ

Feng Suige and Fu Yixiao have me completely enraptured. ππ
Such well written characters, hats off to the writers π€©
