Why do so many folks on here encourage others to support privated sites? Do you guys think dramas grow on trees? Even if you don't feel like supporting the actors and the whole production crew on their hard work, that's fine, but at least have some decency and not advertise privated sites on here.

That depends, are we talking about 'Dual Cultivation' with two swords?

Goodbye My Princess, maybe?

The 40 episodes cap wasn't implemented 'randomly'. It all started with massive complaints from viewers in China about A-list actors salaries were becoming astronomical that it is soaking up 90% of the budget from a drama. This is ultimately affecting and limiting the production quality of a drama because the rest of the 10% now covers everything from paying off thousands of crew members, staffs, extras, supporter actors, set, props, post production and etc - So to compensate, production companies had to add episodes upon episodes of fillers to increase the overall episode count so that they can sell or license the dramas to streaming platforms for more money. It was getting out of hand, these production companies were releasing dramas in the 70, 80 and even close to 100 eps. So the hammer came down and the rest is history.

"我欲乘风向北行，雪落轩辕大如席。
我欲借船向东游，绰约仙子迎风立。
我欲踏云千万里，庙堂龙鸣奈我何？
昆仑之巅沐日光，沧海绝境见青山。
长风万里燕归来，不见天涯人不回。”

—《少年歌行》

If anyone is wondering what the #1 sword looks like, just pause at 1:21 - 1:23 on the intro and you will see Xiao Se holding it - The sword's design is based off of a real historical sword called The Sword of GouJian(Dated 771 to 476 BCE)

Does anyone know the name of the Chinese version of Chen Li's 日日 sang by Niu Jun Feng in the first episode? or where to download it. It's so much better than the English version.

Kleenex.com, go there and stock up.
Remember, every time you post on this wall, the comment counts goes up making the show more popular, knowing this fact, i hope you don't lose sleep tonight.

Someone who keeps calling people brain dead and mentions the "lack of critical skills" is now talking about being provoked, what a joke. Your nonsense stems from the fact that you are offended because the FL isn't doing exactly what you wanted her to do in your unrealistic disney world. Here's your pacifier. now quit crying.

@Cdramanoob
Absolutely correct, but i am afraid that your comprehensive explanation is a bit overwhelming for individuals with half a brain cell.

You literally proved my point in your first two words.

The characterization of shaoshang shows a teenage girl who is naive, stubborn, rebellious yet righteous. For you, a girl like this who lives in an era of a man's world and depicted this way in a show must have some sort of hidden agenda? I suggest that you quit watching anything that is historical related and just stick with Disney, because I doubt you possess the critical skills to interpret anything that offends you.

I suppose the "netizens outrage" were all non Chinese righteous keyboard warriors with backward viewpoints in 2022.

Showing how things were back in the days isn't necessarily implying that such contents shown were "right" or "was okay", in fact, I beg to differ - Hiding the truth and trying to sweep all the dirt under the carpet are doing exactly what you are implying.

Historical, across the globe, that's exactly how it was.
Funny thing is, if you look at the vast majority of household patriarchs in this drama, almost all of them(if not all of them) are beta males that are submissive to their wives. - The Emperor, CSS's father, QiQi's father, Wang Ling's father, Emperor's uncle(The old price), even LBY's fake father(hes scared of his crazy wife).

That's right keyboard warrior, teach those communist how to regulate their entertainment industry. Enlighten them with freedom and democracy - Free them from laws and regulations, no person on this planet shall be subjugated by polices, laws and regulations!

31.374 million best sellers? is that the right translation?

You are you, I am me, and the eyebrows are eyebrows.

What can i say,
The eyebrows are eyebrows.
The eyes are eyes.
Aiya.
