**************** MEGASPOILER WARNING. ***************IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED TURN BACK NOW! DO NOT READ!I can't…
Sorry, but it will be better if you edit out the "incredibly hot ultra powerful man" in one sentence with "raped". I understand what you tried to discuss about but you will get attack by other comments later. Edit that out first.
Maybe actually what you want to discuss about is "what if you are a really HELPLESS woman in the ANCIENT TIME and there is an ultra powerful man who you LOVED and also found him attractive committed a really big mistake towards you but then felt really apologetic to you after that", right?
No matter whether a person is in ancient time or modern time, male or female, has high or low status, if you get raped violently like main female lead in this drama, it surely will give some psychological effect, trauma in your life after that compared to before that happen.
Let change "rape" to other. For example, main male lead didn't rape main female lead in this drama but what he did was he deceived her so he got to sleep with her. Like he seduced main female lead after she lost her memory and finally she agreed to sleep with him.
If that what happen instead of he raped her violently, even if he still committed other atrocities like he did in this drama, I could understand about discussion "maybe she still could work through it" because he is a high status man and this is in ancient time.
But since she get raped violently by him and then get pregnant, the only answer is she become a spirit- broken woman, give up on life, turn emotionally dead and crazy before finally committed murder and suicide. Or she could work through it by murdered him, about a week or a month after their wedding but make it like he accidentally died or someone else did that.
Wow, is Zhao Lin really the screenwriter of this short drama?! She write many good main female lead character in her romance dramas.
I'm quite confused at first because there no info yet about the screenwriter on dramawiki when I searched about this drama.
The plot on dramawiki is more suitable for this drama though: Xiang Tingdong, heir to the renowned Tangcheng family, is severely injured in a dispute with his fiancée Cheng Che and falls into a coma. To save the Xiang family, Cheng Che finds Xiang's mysterious younger brother, Ye Ran, and asks him to impersonate Xiang. Together, they uncover and dismantle the drug syndicate Xiang Tingdong was involved with. Will they succeed in completing their mission? --WeTV https://wiki.d-addicts.com/Be_Your_Knight
Wait, I'm just realized her currently airing drama, Be Your Knight and all of her drama in my list above are about married couple \^_^/ Some similarities in her dramas that I watch: Strong main female lead, green flag main male lead, married main couple Aww, I feel this is so cute >_<
Based on Thailand fans comments that I read using google translation on X, it seems she adored Cheewa character…
According to some Thailand novel reader on Tiktok and X, the Poncheewan novel end with main couple wedding. All other main couple in these Juthathep series already married and some even have children together with them when they attending Saruj and Cheewan wedding ceremony T_T
I hope so ! I want him in a police/investigation type of drama
For now, it seems many of his upcoming dramas will be costume dramas.
I hope he will quickly get established as talented actor in his next drama that not produced by Yu Zheng, Calming Waves, so he could get opportunity after this to play as main male lead in modern drama since I confidently believe Yu Zheng will make him play in many costume dramas again especially after his Duke Su character in The Double.
Sounds similar to 'A Journey To You'. I hope we can get a good ending this time. Not fan to both leads. But damn…
According to Chinese fans that get accessed to drama script, this drama will end with main couple separated from each other. Main male lead will become emperor while main female lead will wandering around the country or something like that.
According to novel reader, the main male lead is really a red flag and did some crazy thing but main couple get together at the end. There are no English translation for the novel yet.
I think the reason the screenwriter change the ending from the novel is because audiences in our time won't accept a really red flag main male lead has happy ending with main female lead LOL
Although the screenwriter for mainstream Chinese dramas need to soften main male lead character compare to novel because of their strict censorship, I hope at least they won't whitewash his character too much. They already give sad ending for him so why not make his character more red flag than recent main male lead in other romance drama to show us he deserve that haha
Some fans are indeed delusional, they feel like actors & actresses are like dolls so these fans want to dictating…
When I read about Nicky Wu on google before, his first wife is Ma Yashu, an actress. They got divorced in 2009.
I get to know about Nicky Wu because of Scarlet Heart (2011), one of the famous Chinese costume drama. He is the main male lead while Liu Shi Shi is the main female lead. https://kisskh.at/2969-scarlet-heart
They get married in 2015 and have a son together. As far as I know, for now, Liu Shi Shi and Nicky Wu are still married.
So, should put 'Mean FL' or 'Red Flag FL' tag... 😂😂😂
I need to watch first but I'm sure main female lead is not a red flag level in here.
Since this is the usual dramatic Chinese short Republican Era romance genre, main male lead will get slap at least once LOL
Based on my guess, the scene where main female lead knocked his head happened on their initial encounter or beginning of their relationship. She tried to shoot him because she misunderstand him since he dodged it but then he hugs her.
What is healthy relationship in dramatic Chinese short Republican Era romance drama anyway haha
Some red flag main male lead in Chinese dramas with obviously main couple couldn't be together at the end: (other than The King's Woman, their English titles already give us the hint LOL)
Question: Who is the most red flag of them all? My answer: For now, Yue Jin Chen in Love & Bid Farewell is on the top. Chinese regular long dramas have strict censorship compare to their short drama so they couldn't make romance drama with too toxic and red flag main male anymore. Not to mention, main male lead in recent Chinese romance dramas are green flag to cater many audiences LOL
I love the main couple can you guys recommend me similar romance dramas or similar male lead?
I'm late but these are some red flag main male lead in Chinese dramas with obviously main couple couldn't be together at the end: (well, look at their English titles LOL)

A Chinese short Republican Era romance drama with fake married couple.
Based on the trailer, main male lead is not abusive but there are scenes where main female lead knocked his head off until it bleeding(?), tried to shoot him, slapped him and pushed him on the bed. There are also some scenes with him get bruised and bleed which I assume from fight with other people but yeah it seems main male lead suffered more than main female lead in this drama LOL https://x.com/dramapotatoe/status/1834078733298180331?t=eH_o0-u-o2fSSCbxkd_TKA&s=19
Just saw the Douban account for this new series and they really casted HY as SML 😭
Lousy Yu Zheng is so ridiculous, exploitative and annoying. Wu Jin Yan and Wang Xing Yue couldn't reject his arrangement because lousy Yu Zheng is their boss =_=
Some fans are indeed delusional, they feel like actors & actresses are like dolls so these fans want to dictating…
Are negative and pessimistic comments on weibo about Wu Jin Yan & Liu Xue Yi themselves or about Hong Yao, Wu Jin Yan husband?
What exactly serious thing he did that make them hate him? Did he commit any crime before?
I know Hong Yao is under Yu Zheng's agency just like Wu Jin Yan, Wang Xing Yue, Bai Lu, Xu Kai. He and Wu Jin Yan got in dating rumor years before but she denied it at that time.
But, maybe at that time she feel they just suitable as friends. Many things can change in 10 years so never say never! We don't know about our future LOL
I hope if she want to take a break from drama after this, it won't be long. She already in hiatus before huhu
But, maybe at that time she feel they just suitable as friends. Many things can change in 10 years so never say never! We don't know about our future LOL
I don't care who Wu Jin Yan married with or if in the future, Wang Xing Yue also unexpectedly get married while they both filming this drama but to cast Hong Yao in Wu Jin Yan & Wang Xing Yue romance drama just after Wu Jin Yan & Hong Yao marriage news to public?
No matter what, Wu Jin Yan & Wang Xing Yue are still human being with feeling. How could Wang Xing Yue create comfortable environment for him to do skinship with Wu Jin Yan while being conscious about Hong Yao on the set? Hong Yao suddenly added as second male lead after their marriage news.
Sorry, I'm 1000% confident this is lousy Yu Zheng idea. With how lousy Yu Zheng usually give minimal screentimes to main male lead with main female lead and more screentimes to second male lead with main female lead, I could imagine how annoyed I will feel when I'm watching their second drama.
One of the main reason some people like me want Wu Jin Yan & Wang Xing Yue reunion in second drama is because we love their chemistry together. Lousy Yu Zheng is really annoying =_=
I still will watch this drama though because I like Wu Jin Yan and Wang Xing Yue.
If you don’t to be spoiled for future scenes, don’t watch it.

I hope he will quickly get established as talented actor in his next drama that not produced by Yu Zheng, Calming Waves, so he could get opportunity after this to play as main male lead in modern drama since I confidently believe Yu Zheng will make him play in many costume dramas again especially after his Duke Su character in The Double.
Actually, after reading some articles and watching some videos where Chinese actors and actresses mentioned about how hair styling like wigs and accessories in their costume dramas make them almost bald and even went for hair treatment, I hope he could take more rest from costume drama after this. I'm worried he will get bald before he is 30 years old LOL
