Sometimes if the comment is really vicious and out of nowhere, I check the poster. The worst are the ones who act like passer-bys but you check their Weibo page and they’re a fan of someone with an interest in hating on the show. Like could they try a little? At least get a dummy account 😂
This reminds me a little of the clown show for JJL and it ended up doing okay.

The male lead is the emperor played by FSF. The second male lead is Yi Wuyou who is played by Zhu Zhengting. Both like the female lead, Ye Lingshuang and both want to rule.
The story is about Ye Lingshuang who is a young girl with supernatural powers. She is best friends with A’Rui, the princess of her country. Through a series of events Ye Lingshuang falls in love with the emperor but their relationship becomes complicated when Ye Lingshuang finds out A’Rui is dead. Wanting to save A’Rui, Ye Lingshuang uses her powers to go back in time to try to change things.

Don’t really know as it’s not really close to the novel.

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).

Ah, that makes sense. I guess I’ll just contribute to the view count with a rewatch then.

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.

I heard about the break and it did say no entertainment but I thought that was in relation to only promotional stuff and internet posting.

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.

Is it 2 episodes tomorrow? I can’t seem to find the original broadcast calendar and the wait is killing me.

It’s from the same world.

I’m fine with personal opinion and saying you don’t like things or shows and even Tucao to some extent, but I hate how people weaponise it. 😭

Happy Birthday, Xiao Ran!!! May you eat all the hotpot you want this year without getting fat🎊

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.😩

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.

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.

It was originally supposed to be 36 episodes so 11 were cut.

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😂😂

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