I was surprised. It really came to smack us in the face with some plot! I really can’t wait for the next few episodes.

This was based off of a novel but after editing, it doesn’t really follow the original novel very much. Originally, no Ye Zi doesn’t end up with Yi Wuyou but it’s hard to know in this version what happens.

For some strange reason, a lot of people outside her fans think she was born after 1995.

I did some picture hunting and I don’t know why they didn’t give him a beard. If they gave him a full beard in Yebei and thinner one in Tianqi, we wouldn’t even be having this argument of if he looks good or not. FSF with a beard is foine af.😩

Congrats to Shining Just For You for making it to the Top 10 on Datawin!!!

The show had to be cut to pass the censorship trial. I’m not sure if Youku made further cuts. The first episode is the roughest but it’s okay by the third episode even if there’s cuts.

I’ve fallen into the FSF pit. Before the show, I was like meh but now every time I see him, I’m like why is he becoming more and more handsome!?😩

I love it too! It’s been living in my head rent free for several days.

I’m just gonna ignore Douban. The editing can’t be helped if it’s what the censors want. Douban is full of haters anyway and there’s a lot of parties that have an interest on hating on this drama. I wanna know what sins this crew committed in a past life. I feel like I’ve never seen such a level of hate. People telling PXR to quit the industry, saying ZZT is not good looking, FSF is a beast…it’s so annoying because the show has barely just started and there are shows and actors worse than this that get blown to the sky.

To me, her suited role is always her next performance because she is an actress whose skills are always growing. There will always be something about her acting that surprises me.
Right now besides Ye Zi, I think her best role was Li Binghe. She’s really good in To Our Dreamland of Ice and Snow which is essentially a modern drama. Absolutely gorgeous in looks and since it’s one of her later roles, the acting is really great and she’s dubbed it herself.
Maybe it’s different for foreigners but I actually think she looks just as good in hanfu as the exotic styles but that people just have too big a filter or are too affected by marketing. I’m not sure what period GMP is set but before I saw it I never liked that eras hairstyles until I saw them on PXR. Even with Jun Jiu Ling my family members wanted to know if she was a doll when they saw her.
But its true Jun Jiu Ling is just weirdly filmed. I’ve seen some Reuters videos and photos and she looks really good but then the same look in the drama is no good.

I’ve left a review on all of her major dramas with my old account and I’ll probably write one for this as well. If you’re wondering what to watch in terms of beauty, I’d say Goodbye My Princess and To Our Dreamland of Ice and Snow are the top for completed shows. If you’re watching for acting skills, I’d say To Our Dreamland of Ice and Snow and her cameo as Tian Yu in Refined Steel. If you’re looking for an independent heroine, then Jun Jiu Ling and To Our Dreamland of Oce and Snow.

She’s a noblewoman in this story.

Zhu Zhengting is indeed an idol and is a trained dancer.

She’s actually played quite a few roles including mainstream dramas. Most people think her acting started with GMP but she was in Win the World and had done a number of cameos and small roles when she was on IQIYI.
For now, I think she may be typecast into the foreign princess look but she’s been very smart about the roles she’s choosing . It’s more like she’s figured how to use what’s been a sort of “curse” over her to her advantage and as a fan I am willing to put up with the same visuals if she can get better scripts and production values. Look at this drama, she’s a young non class actor with no backing acting with a recognised actor. She wouldn’t haven’t have gotten such a role if she didn’t have the visual advantage. Plus, she’s very good at shaping characters and her roles really don’t feel the same. Ye Lingshuang is nothing like Xiao Feng other than in looks. I’ve been watching the show and there’s never been a moment when I’ve seen Xiao Feng in Ye Lingshuang. So if it works for her to be the undisputed foreign princess for now, I’d play to that strength to produce good works or upgrade myself until I can branch out.
She’s also got 3 dramas in stock and she plays a head-hunter, a police officer, and an ancient businesswoman respectively so there are still more roles to come.

I don’t and I caught a ban already for too many posts so I dare not do anything more on this site. I know there’s at least one twitter account that does try to post about her regularly but I don’t know it’s name.

Yeah, I see people complaining about her acting but seeing as she’s recognised as being a decent actor, I feel like it’s the same problem as JJL. The dubbing doesn’t stick to the face or always match the mood.
About the editing, I guess when the censor makes cuts, if you fix it, it must have to be re-examined and it’s possible production didn’t want to risk it and aired things as-is. Youku might have also made cuts, I remember GMP got panned for some plot points until the directors cut. I’m grateful to see this cut but I totally understand and agree with the fans on Weibo saying they want to see the master tape.

Better late than never!🎊🎊🎊
Happy watching!

I can’t wait. On second watch the bones of a good drama are there, it’s just the editing (and dub) getting in the way.

Just did a rewatch and the more I watch it, the more I really love Ye Lingshuang’s character design and understand why PXR chose this script. So far Ye Zi really is the rare and independent heroine. Thankfully, the show is showcasing her brains, which is becoming a highlight to me because Cdrama really needs more female characters like her.
Not even the heroine kryptonite of the big handsome general coming to flirt fazes my girl and I gotta respect that 😂😂😂.
Also really loving the astrology bureau section!!! Haha Ye Zi is really all about her career. Her first day of work is such a cute scene and it’s cool to seeing her working her brains to find a solution to the emperor’s problem.

The show does get better with each episode. I feel like I was a little too loud in the beginning 😅.
I heard up to episode 8 has been released on domestic Youku. Hopefully we’ll get them this week for English subs. I think the next release isn’t for awhile, like next week.
