You mean the reverse-harem? Lol Hmm... I'm not seeing it here after the first 8. Haha Perhaps in later episodes?…
It’s not really a harem or romance driven in a traditional sense. It’s more like who is into who. So many crushes flying around.😂 It’s a very interesting dynamic. The crushes are either being exploited (Yezi) or they’re motivators for character actions (Yi Wuyou).
Watched upto ep 8. If you're watching for romance this is gonna take a while. And Yi Wuyou barely has screen time.…
I really love Yezi who is all about her career…and occasionally annoying the emperor. The library scene was absolute gold. Every time I see the emperor’s scandalised expression I burst into laughter.
This MV shows LOTS of romantic scenes to look forward to (hopefully they weren't cut!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r24FlGWmN0
This trailer and the trailer using the op theme of Princess Weiyoung are what sold me on this pairing. I hope we get these scenes but I feel like most of the romance might come after the rewind.
Uhh. I have to disagree. Only a few times have I found him to be physically attractive. He is rather stocky and…
Haha. It’s cool. Different strokes and all that. 😂 I think it’s his aura and acting skills for me. It’s the same phenomenon as Yehua from Eternal Love. He’s really good at believably being a domineering emperor who will ends up besotted by the FML. And drama is actually doing a good job of believably showing the process which adds to the charm.😩
is this good so far? i was a bit weirded out seeing peng xiao ran in almost the exact costume as she wore in goodbye…
It’s the same makeup/costume team as GMP so that’s why her clothing has similar vibes but SJFY has heavier and more ornate clothing with a more fantasy feel than GMP but once Ye Zi gets to Tianqi, the similarities disappear. I’d say it’s worth it. The first episode is very rough but the drama steadily gets better with each episode.
Can't lie I do agree with the part that pxr costume looks so similar to gmp that I didn't realise it was this…

The show had to be cut to pass the censorship trial. I’m not sure if Youku made further cuts. The first episode…
I won’t post anymore after this but I’m not denying it’s been butchered. I’m providing context as to why. Tbf to a lot of dramas, they may know initially what works and what doesn’t but the environment of C-ent is constantly changing and what may be okay one year might not be okay the next. This can happen while or after a drama has been filmed. A good example are BL dramas. They were “okay” a few years ago and now they’re dead in the water unless the team can figure how to cut out all the BL aspects. This drama had the double edge sword of having to possibly cut content due to the book’s author, cut content due to the ML character being too much of a grey character, and cut content in Yebei because of various current factors. Then to add to that the platform may further cut content they deem too risky. I heard a few recent dramas airing this year on Youku had kiss scenes cut out. In this situation, you would re-edit to smooth things but I’m guessing a re-edit means you have to resubmit for trial and a lot of teams may not want to risk it.

Sometimes it’s about the episode limit but this show is a different case. In order for the censors to pass the drama this show had to cut content/scenes that wouldn’t pass. They cut 11 episodes worth of content out of the drama leaving 25 episodes.
Just finished watching the 8th episode. Low-key this drama is wild. We now have a love hexagon. And suddenly the plotting missing in Jun Jiu Ling has appeared in this drama😂😂
She’s actually played quite a few roles including mainstream dramas. Most people think her acting started with…
This wasn’t an attack. I understand. It’s different strokes for different folks. Not trying to change your opinion. If you like Xiao Feng best or her prairie look best that’s fine. I just stated my own opinion because I thought it was a discussion. Apologies for answering in a way that felt like an attack.

I think eyebrows are so we remember he’s actually an evil emperor and our morals don’t get compromised by his handsomeness. 😂
