Thank you for sharing this. Are they shipping abroad? I understood we need a proxy buyer and only they do bulk orders. If you have ordered, could you please let us know how is done?

Blood Dove is a painful poison - non lethal that the cruel Crown Prince uses to control HY, we have seen this narrative in countless Chinese Dramas. Rhino Horns have been precious since ancestral times -now completely ban the commercialisation, so the only antidote that could neutralised the Blood Dove had to have Rhino Horns.

Arena magazine interview (printed copy) another great insight into their characters!

Song sharing - the songs that they shared with us that they listen together must have given all sort of ideas to Lagogos, if you are curious, Google them: 指纹 (Fingerprint) and 想你时风起 ( When the Wind Rises, I Miss You)
If this is paired with the magazine interview, there is a melancholic air like when Jin Jin said, "I don't know how long our love can last, the two of us will try our best to maintain this relationship" (from Google translated) . Translated like this it sounded like romantic love, but I have asked questions to the AI and there is a second interpretation that I think it is what Jin Jin was trying to say. He did not refer to the love between Xu and Jin but to the love between them and their fans, so a more realistic interpretation is:
“I don’t know how long this love and support can last, but we’ll both do our best to maintain it, and hope to stay with everyone for a long time.”
I was with this doubt because I don't know Chinese, but in English "love" is used for all kind of love thought if I refer to a friend I would not use a phrase like this I would say I hope we keep our friendship forever. In Spanish you wouldn't use the frase "nuestro amor" to refer to the affection of friends. So something needed to be clarify here - and also because the Chinese fans would had made a fuss about it and they did not. Languages are so interesting and rich anyway, and cultural meaning and context are necessary to understand properly.

Yes! - that scenes gets better and better with re watching. The chemistry is instant like from the first fraction of the second they are in the same frame.

I have added them to one of my previous post about social media accounts in Discussions.

I will do. Thank you for the suggestion.

I have made a post about this now. Please have a look.

A more comprehensive cast list - so difficult to find information:
Main / principal cast
Zhang Zhe Xu (张哲旭 / Zhang Zhe Xu) — Duan Ziang.
Mi Jin (弭金 / Mi Jin) — Xiao Shuhe.
Wang Ding (王鼎 / Wang Ding) — Huo Ying.
Cheng Fang (程方 / Cheng Fang) — Xiao Shuqian.
Yang Shu Wei (杨书伟 / Yang Shuwei) — Duan Huaiyi.
Li Yi Xiang (李一想 / Li Yixiang) — Shen Song.
Supporting / additional credited roles (from cast lists, trailers and listings)
Da Tao (大涛?) / Luo Gu Yuan — credited in some full-credits listings.
Shu Wei Yang — appears credited as Duan Huai Yi (supporting episodes).
Young / flashback actors credited in listings: Yichen Chen (young Duan Ziang), Keyu Wang (young Xiao Shuhe).
Wei Long Xu — credited as Emperor of Ji Bei (appears in episode credits).
with the Chinese characters you can find them easily in Weibo, Douyin and RedNote and then use the translator.

Don't pay any attention to the MDL cast list, it is incomplete. This site is not good. I will try to get you a link with more names.

Yes, I think so, but only his mother was killed. The brother we don't know anything about them.

The attire in itself did not give him the right, it was more representing his father acknowledgement of this son as the robe was so special/expensive.

Great reasoning Yerisina!

Thank you for the historical reference!

100% acrylic!! 😂

"Such is my parting sorrow---
A taste that tastes so odd, so strange that my heart, never ever before did know."
These beautiful verses are from a poem by Li Yu the historical king that inspired the character of ShuHe. Thank you to @Yerisina for finding them.
As we discussed before, this series is inspired by historical events, see Discussions above.
Li Yu words and the fact that Taizu of Song, the emperor of the North when defeated the South Kingdom took Li Yu with him and treat him with warm hospitality until Taizu death, have provoked the imaginary of authors that suggested they had a romantic entanglement. The truth is that there are no historical evidence to suggest that was the case. It is the beauty of Li Yu words, written in captivity, as the ones quoted above, that has triggered that fantasy in people. What do you think? Does these words also provoke in you the same thoughts?

I don't know the official narrative, maybe @Yerisna knows, but that attire represent his Royal lineage and because his father the Emperor gave it to him he was fully acknowledging his full right to participate in court affairs. Let's remember he is the 6th in line to succeed the throne. So he was not really relevant. For lack of money we did not see the other brothers in the series, and in the novel not all of them "have a voice". ShuHe in the series said that their brothers died (we do not know how many of them) defending the Southern Kingdom.

ShuHe wishes to help ZiAng gave him the last push of motivation to join the court. ShuHe was always torn about this issue because on one hand he wanted to vindicate his mother, who died at the hands of the court instigators and, on the other one, he wanted to live a free life. When ZiAng appeared he decided to make a deal with the despicable Prime Minster to get him to find ZiAng brother and also protect ZiAng (that Primer Minister was sure he was from Jibei and an assassin). It was all intertwined. ShuHe is a complex character and it was not just one reason in his decisions. This is why he come across as very contradictory person. About why ShuHe ignore ZiAng red flag signs? he wanted to trust him to make him his lover, just like women do all the time when they fall blindly in love with narcissists. It is very much real, I think.

New vblog - we have ZheXu (plus Jin Jin) disco party here. Also ZheXu give JinJin his Gucci earing (and a rose in the party?)

It does, but I guess is because they did not have money to hire assistants responsible for checking the nails, hair, noses of the actors like in other Chinese dramas. The acrylic cover their nails and is one problem sorted.

ZheXu birthday live - I was not going to make a post about this, but he is something else. I was so impressed about how much he is aware that the total of fans are not "his" but "their" : Lagogos, and rather that this make him feel awkward, he was delighted. This attitude is so refreshing to see in the individual members of a CP. During the live he could not stop mentioning Jin Jin. He has a pin that he hung in his t-shirt with the face of Jin Jin. Most gifts has reference to the CP and gave him immense joy. When he cut the cakes he fed the image on Jin Jin in his t-shirt. Jin Jin was watching and made some comments but there were thousands of people attending the live so his comments were missed. Lets enjoy this moment of true CP party. When we, particularly international fans, became fascinated by a CP like YiZhan or any other of the popular ones, the solo fans hate us. In the international community, most of us did not know who Yibo and Xiao Zhan were, we knew them through The Untamed, so what it was wrong to feel supportive of a duo? Fortunately, Xu and Jin were unknown actors even in China so their current followers are all shippers. How long will last? I don't know, but for the time being, let's enjoy the fortune of a great and true partnership. Here some super cute videos:
