I thought I was the only one procrastinating watching this. I have read all the spoilers, but I need to prepare my heart. I feel like if I finished this drama, I will have to say goodbye to them. I don't want to say goodbye yet, so I am procrastinating
Are you perhaps talking about that black and white photo with LXY in tux and TSY in wedding dress? If fans saw him with that outfit, then the circulating picture might be real
What!! She doesn’t??!! Is there a reason why? Yes I’ll love a modern cdrama from them. Or they’re like in…
Actually, she never outright said that she’s against a second collaboration. She has said that she would consider it if there’s a suitable script. So far, though, she has never worked with the same ML twice.
There was actually an instance where her former ML recommended her as the FL for their second collaboration, but she had to turn it down because she had already accepted another drama and the filming schedules clashed. There was also another time when she was offered a second collaboration, but she didn’t feel the script was right for her, so she turned it down.
So ultimately, it seems to depend on the script. She has never said she refuses to collaborate with the same ML twice, if the script doesn’t appeal to her or isn’t right for her, she simply won’t take it. Plus, she only joins drama productions around twice a year at most, so there aren’t that many opportunities for a second collaboration in the first place.
Is that just an observation because she hasn’t before or something she’s actually talked about in an interview…

People call Lanxiang a “Mary Sue” with no flaws, but at the same time, they criticize her for refusing to bow at the wedding, being standoffish, and even for blanking out during the family morning greeting. They also undermine the trauma behind her behaviour.
A Mary Sue is supposed to be unrealistically perfect, but Lanxiang is clearly far from perfect. She is emotionally closed off, depressed, and struggles to open up her heart. Even her blanking out during the morning greeting is a flaw.
Honestly, if Lanxiang were truly a Mary Sue, people wouldn’t have so many things to complain about. The fact that people criticize her wedding bow refusal, her morning greeting, and her standoffish behaviour actually proves that she is not a flawless character.
Random but I know that "lan" in lanxiang means orchid there's also lan in jialan as well I wonder if they…
Yes, both Lan in Lanxiang and Jialan means orchid. Lan - orchid, Xiang - fragrance, so Lan Xiang means Orchid Fragrance. Jialan means excellent orchid. The title is Lanxiang Rugu meaning Orchid fragrance remain.
I find the ml in Ming Lan creepy. I can’t watch it anymore 😭
He used to be handsome when he was younger. I first saw him in the Palace with Yang Mi. But he plays the uncle character so well in the Story of Minglan that some might get turned off
Let it be known that My Destiny STILL holds the CCTV8 record of the year at the moment 👏👏👏. It's so weird…
They should have put ATC in the prime time slot so it could have had a chance to break Seven’s My Destiny CVB rating record. I feel like people really underestimate Seven a lot.
And like you said, she has no backing. When you put everything together, it’s honestly impressive that Seven has reached this level independently without big agency backing her, despite people looking down on her visual and underestimating her as a female lead. She had no privileges to rely on, she has made her way through talent, hard work, and perseverance. Even her first leading role was won through an audition but she was so good in it, that the character became a classic😭
I also think one of her biggest strengths is how carefully she chooses her scripts. She has said that she needs to believe in the story first before deciding to take a role. Seven is genuinely inspiring like Lanxiang/Shen Jialan🥺
Is there a necessity to put others down to praise him?
I really don’t understand the superiority complex behind “Yang Zi was offered this role but rejected it, so you should be grateful.” An actor taking a role doesn’t mean they owe anyone gratitude or that the role is somehow beneath them.
If we’re going to use that logic, then Seven passing on Flourished Peony also opened the door for Yang Zi. But I don’t see the need to frame either situation that way. I like all my girls, but stop treating Seven like an easy target just to elevate someone else.
