XJY was a useless and psychotic emperor but I actually felt sad when he died π him and the princess really…
You should read the book.
The drama Xia Jingshi is a totally different character they wrote who has zero similarities to the actual character from the book, except having the same name.
Yeah, Xia Jingshi of this show is a sore loser but the 'situationship' between the Emperor of Jinxiu and Princess…
Yup, but the show scarred me forever. π«π«
I'm happy for the Lead Couple (FSG + FYX) π
But, what they did to XJS + FXY's characters is unforgivable. ππ
Both Xia Jingshi and Feng Xiyang are tragic characters who could have been, but missed each other due to the 'Fault In Their Stars'. This is the crux of their story, the reason why their arc remains with the readers, long after the story ends. It hurts like hell, yes, but the moral complexities of these characters make them unforgettable.
Hence, this weird, out-of-character romance with the Emperor is like 'rubbing salt to the wound'.
The Emperor hated everyone associated closely with Xia Jingshi and relentlessly searched for opportunities to hurt / humiliate / torture Xia Jingshi whenever he could. The only reason Xiyang fell into his trap was because the Emperor promised her that he would change / make Xia Jingshi exclusively hers (Xiyang's). That is how he took advantage of Xiyang's vulnerability.
And so this sudden romance in the 'drama version' is π€’π£

The original Xia Jingshi built a mausoleum as huge as a mansion because Feng Xiyang died to save him from being imprisoned by the Emperor. Xia Jingshi was offering himself as the prisoner in exchange for sparing Xiyang. But look how they twisted the entire thing. π΅βπ«π€·π»ββοΈπ€―

The Emperor? He's very nice to Xiyang at first, and manipulates her with caution so that she finally falls in his trap. They don't have that kind of a relationship as shown in the show π€’. That's why I don't like it. All Feng Xiyang ever wanted was for Xia Jingshi to consider her. And look how they twisted it π€¦π»ββοΈ
Xia jingshi such a loser I'm loving the crazy chemistry between princess and jingyan ππ
Yeah, Xia Jingshi of this show is a sore loser but the 'situationship' between the Emperor of Jinxiu and Princess Feng Xiyang is unhinged. Both are teetering at the edge of ruin. Both are too far gone in their head π§ π₯
I'm happy for the character arcs of Feng Suige and Fu Yixiao because in the original version, they weren't that likable. At least now, this couple can have a better story and ending β
already gone ashtray. XJS was never untruthful to her,he told her long ago in susha That he can't love her,but…
This is how the writers have portrayed the characters in the show. I'm not talking about that. I'm not asking why the show Xia Jingshi and Feng Xiyang are reacting the way they do.
I'm describing the authenticity of the characters.
I think you didn't understand my post.
I meant that there are better ways to show the downfall of flawed characters, without demeaning their original traits.
The show's Xia Jingshi is even worse. His handling of the situation was horrible. He's supposed to be a prince of a Kingdom, a master strategist, a very intelligent and conniving person who knows how many cards he has and when to use them. He's supposed to be the mature one.
He knew how the Princess was. He could've handled it better.
After a very young woman has sacrificed everything and burned all her bridges, left stranded in an enemy nation, which she chose to be in because of 'You' (Xia Jingshi) , and I agree she made a mistake. She still didn't deserve the way he broke her.
Xia Jingshi knew very well how easily Feng Xiyang would be manipulated by his evil brother. He knew how easily the princess could be turned into a deadly pawn. But he didn't do anything to eliminate that option.
Before he divorced Xiyang, Xia Jingshi didn't know that her father and brother were dead. So, how could a brilliant strategist and a sharp politician simply dissolve peace treaties like that?
These are plot holes and a reflection of poor writing. I have more, but then these things are for after the show finishes airing .

So yes, the writers did him 'dirty'.
I call it 'character assassination'.

I'll be writing it in my own blog. π
