Wu Xuanyi/ Betty Wu 's new drama 'Rising with the wind' will be broadcasted on iqiyi and Dragon TV on 30th October 2023.
Wu Xuanyi plays the character of SFL, Xiang Zhao Yang.
(As per her character poster released by Iqiyi)
She is described as : A designer who only wants to design good shoes. At this moment, she is a shoe designer as her main job and an internet celebrity painter as a side job.
Do you think she’s going to divorce him as her final good deed? Because I don’t see her killing the uncle.
I guess the script writer is trying to compare and contrast jiu ling with the new princess... Probably we will be shown that even though jiu ling was immature in the earlier episodes she was not manipulative and selfish like this new princess may be.
More stills and posters released... New pictures are uploaded in the photo section of this drama's page....Thanks for uploading.
I always like this preheating stage before the release, viewers get so many new goodies... The character stills and individual posters for this drama are very high quality...
Looking forward to them releasing the airing schedule and hopefully we will get two episodes daily...
Do you think she’s going to divorce him as her final good deed? Because I don’t see her killing the uncle.
I would call you more realistic and from the few dramas, I have watched it is evident that c-dramas don't hesitate to give sad endings... Actually sad endings 'Immortalises' characters.... I like to cling to hope till the very last episode, so at least in my heart, I wanted the characters to have happy NORMAL lives....
It's more fun watching airing dramas, atleast we have each other to talk to when things turn bad for our favourite characters..
Do you think she’s going to divorce him as her final good deed? Because I don’t see her killing the uncle.
Thats very grim, hopefully the screenwriter will give good ending to their story... I hope that after separation and making her country safe, jiu ling can enjoy a peaceful life, that is what her family members wanted for her the most.
The new princess is quite obsessed with Rong Yu, she may bring her own set of difficulties for the couple... Did you notice, she also dresses in red clothes like jiu ling did earlier.
It would be a pity if Rong Yu is not able to save jiu ling with his abilities. Rong Yu's uncle should die accidentally or trying to save a family member.
Do you think she’s going to divorce him as her final good deed? Because I don’t see her killing the uncle.
In my opinion, they will separate for some time... I hope the ending is happy for them because atleast in a fiction world, I would like to be optimistic, giving the characters a happy life ahead. Rong Yu's ability to foresee would help Jiu Ling stay alive in the end.
Killing Rong Yu's uncle herself would make it difficult for the couple to reconcile later, I hope the screen writer takes pity on Jiu Ling writing an accidental death or a death saving a family member from the regent for Rong Yu's uncle.. That will help the uncle gain some redemption.
Let's see what the screen writer has actually planned.

Episode 4 - Lu Zhi/ Lu Yuanbao/ Lu Zhong
Past timeline (1589 AD, 20 years ago) A mysterious man writing an account. he contemplates that if he doesn't tell (about it, no one will know) Though he reflects that he doesn't aim to let people know. It's simply because, he wishes to convey information that he is writing.
The mysterious man continues to narrate. Lu residence is deserted in Du County, with no women, no children and not even a single dog. In this house Lu Yuanbao is living with his servants.
Lu Zhi, a young boy of around 16 to 17 also an attendant of Lu Yuanbao sees Chen Wang a servant of Lu residence sneaking back inside the residence using a ladder. Lu zhi points out that if anyone encountered Chen Wang sneaking back, he would be thrashed. Lu zhi inquiries if Chen Wang had gambled the previous night. Chen Wang who is a compulsive gambler confesses to have placed a small bet and in the process lost all his money. Lu zhi taking pity on Chen Wang suggest he should nap for sometime however Chen Wang can't as he has to purchase some items for the Lu residence. Lu zhi offers to buy them on his behalf and also volunteers to purchase medicines for Chen Wang's sick mother.
Mysterious narrator says Lu Zhi is a good man, everyone in Lu residence likes Lu zhi. However Lu Yuanbao loves him the most. He sent Lu zhi to a private school. It is rumored Lu Yuanbao has taken Lu Zhi as his adopted son. The servants at home call him master Lu in private.
There is calligraphy competition held in Cuihua Tower, a brothel. Master Wang sits outside to judge the writings that are rolled out from brothel's window for his judgement. Lu Zhi running in and out of the brothel inquires of Master Wang if the results are oit. Master Wang sitting out the brothel on a stall bench praises everyone's calligraphy. He awards the first prize to the last calligraphy out of the four hung outside the window and inquires if it was written by Lu Yuanbao. Lu Zhi replies in affirmative. Lu Zhi declares the results inside, everyone compliments Lu Yuanbao to flatter him. All competitors leave for a celebration drink.
Lu Zhi pilfers some leftover snacks by the competitors to share with his orphan friend living and working in the brothel, Xiao Baozi nicknamed "Turtle". Both Lu Zhi and Turtle enjoy the pinched snacks while engaging in small talk sitting outside the brothel. They discuss Lin Siniang, a courtesan who is escorted by Turtle. She can exclusively accompany only Lu Yuanbao, she cannot approach other men.
Later, Yuanbao at his house is happy after winning the competition. Generously Lu Yuanbao tells Lu Zhi that if he works hard, he will send Lu Zhi to take exams so that others can praise the elevated status of Lu Yuanbao's attendant. Thereafter Lu Yuanbao leaves with Mr.Zhong his mute housekeeper. Chen Wang and Lu Zhi continue to discuss Lu Yuanbao and why he left. In the conversation Lu Zhi reveals Lu Yuanbao wants to take advantage of land dispute among heirs and take over their property by employing stealth and underhanded methods. This method was suggested by Mr. Zhong.
Sometime later, Mr. Zhong is fishing with Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi us distracted so Mr. Zhang wants to know the cause. Lu Zhi has a secret to confide in Lu Zhong. The secret is related to Lu zhi's school teacher Master Wang. One day Lu Zhi had left his Inkstone at Wulei school when he went back to get it in the evening, he saw Master Wang being spanked in the school room by a student with a wooden ferule. After the beating Mr. Wang came out. He started conversing with an idol placed in the school's courtyard. Mr. Wang seemed to be asking for forgiveness and trying to pacify someone anger. He implores that 'someone's to stop bothering him and promises to mourn for that person again after few days. After Mr. Wang goes inside the classroom, Lu Zhi digs up the place near the idol and finds a wooden box buried inside which a human skull is hidden.
Lu Zhong is not happy to hear this revelation and advices Lu Zhi not to tell anyone else about what he had discovered at the school. Lu Zhong wants to know if Lu Zhi trusted him with this secret because he was a mute. Lu Zhi refutes that and confesses that Lu Zhong is the kindest person in Lu residence to him and would never harm him. Lu Zhong warns Lu Zhi that knowing other's secret is dangerous. Lu Zhong confides that Lu Zhi is a child and likable so others are unguarded around him so Lu Zhi by chance knows many secrets. Mr.Zhong cautions Lu Zhi that in Lu residence knowing secrets is dangerous.
Lin Siniang visits Lu Yuanbao at his residence, Xiao Baozi "Turtle" accompanies her. Turtle tells Lu Zhi to wait for him at the temple outside the South gate, while he has an errand to run. Lu Zhi secretly follows Turtle and finds out Lin Siniang has sent a secret message to Captain Leng via Turtle. Later Lu Zhi and Turtle enjoy a playdate bathing in the river. Lu Zhi notices prick marks on Turtle's wrist and inquires how he got hurt. Turtle informs him that he had stolen from Hongyu's room some snacks, she has bad temper, pricked him with a needle. Lu Zhi probes wouldn't it be better to steal from a kind person, even if they find out they won't hurt Turtle. Turtle answers if it happens to good people, it will be unfair. Lu Zhi says the whole world is unfair. Can Baozi change the world? Turtle agrees he can't but he insists not to steal from good people.
Lu Zhi finds out from Turtle that Captain Leng and Lin Siniang are having an affair. Lu Yuanbao has a bad temper if he finds out then it would be bad for both. Lu Zhi with the intention of finding out more takes over night duty from Chen Wang. Captain Leng comes to Lu residence to meet Lin Siniang as per their assignation. Lu Zhi overhears Captain Leng and Siniang's conversation. Lu Yuanbao is a particularly cruel patron who likes to inflict pain. Lu Zhi accidentally makes some noise, captain Leng catches Lu Zhi eavesdropping and forcibly takes him out of Lu residence with the intention of silencing him.
Taking Lu Zhi to a deserted place, Captain Leng tries to strangle Lu Zhi to death but Lu Zhi cleverly convinces him to spare his life and in return he will help create opportunities for Captain Leng to meet Siniang. Captain Leng and Lu Zhi form a reluctant alliances and as promised, Lu Zhi helps Captain Leng meet Lin Saniang.
Detailed summary of episode 4 below in spoiler tag, also posted in the discussion section of this page.. Contains major spoilers so read only if you are ready for full disclosure.... please don't hesitate to point out any significant error from my side or add your points/insights in the comment section of the discussion thread.
This is a poster I found on MangoTV and the drama's Weibo accounts I uploaded on the Photo section. The poster…
I personally think Rong Yu and Jiu Ling should have a happy ending... But before they get to that part they will experience heart wrenching sorrow, loss and even temporary separation... From the poster it looks like they have a baby girl... I just hope Mgtv gives only one ending and doesn't go for two alternate possibilities, letting the audience choose which they prefer.
understandable Uncle Rong has such great hatred. RY is his beloved bloodline. Hope we'll have HEA for RY.
I always admired Lord Rong's dedication towards his nephew, in one dialogue he tells jiu ling that he has raised Rong Yu after Rong Yu's father's death... After knowing jiu ling had poisoned his beloved nephew, him wanting to reprimand and berate her was understandable though I personally did not approve of his spanking her but I could look past it because elders in that time used the method to discipline their wards.
However plotting to kill jiu ling's whole family is a point of no return in my opinion.
I really liked Rong family's tight knit bond as well as He family's dynamics... I feel nostalgic looking at the beginning episodes... Rong Yu's uncle was indulgent of jiu ling before he became aware her role in his nephew's poisoning.
Well let's see how the scriptwriter chooses to move forward.
Episode 17 and 18 The end of 18 OMG 👀Rest in spoiler tag
Episode 17 and 18 thoughts
* Lord Rong, Rong Yu's uncle is helping regent hence Rong Yu cannot devine regent's destiny... Lord Rong's hatred for jiu ling is so strong that somehow he was responsible for their downfall and death?
How would jiu Ling overcome this betrayal, would Rong family split up? I liked the He family and the Rong family.. It seems He family was destroyed due to Jiu ling's mistake of giving an untested medicine to Rong yu and Rong family will also split up because of that same medicine...
* In the games arena, Rong Yu is the strongest of all... He jiu ling cannnot be voluntarily defeated by anyone except Rong Yu... Their love is so sweet, I fear it wont last forever.
* what's up with zing ping and cheng bi... Does zing ping like her?
* I have never heard cheng bi speak is she really mute or just stoic... Cheng bi's character has grown on me, hopefully she will remain faithful body guard to jiuling.

As far as I know, he is pretending to be childlike only to keep the FL by his side, so he has concealed that he is cured from people around Jiu Ling
The new princess is quite obsessed with Rong Yu, she may bring her own set of difficulties for the couple... Did you notice, she also dresses in red clothes like jiu ling did earlier.
It would be a pity if Rong Yu is not able to save jiu ling with his abilities. Rong Yu's uncle should die accidentally or trying to save a family member.
Fingers crossed🤞
Killing Rong Yu's uncle herself would make it difficult for the couple to reconcile later, I hope the screen writer takes pity on Jiu Ling writing an accidental death or a death saving a family member from the regent for Rong Yu's uncle.. That will help the uncle gain some redemption.

Difficult choices ahead for all characters.
