Indeed he was. Remember the time when he purposely lost to A'wu so that she could request the Emperor for having…
Indeed but ultimately he was disappointed in Zidan. He asked him if he wanted her because marrying Wang clan means obtaining the universe. And he said she is his universe; ie he she is his end in of itself and he is not ambitious. So in the end he had no son worth rooting for. He just satisfied himself with revenge against Wang clan and he even used Wang Xuan to take them down. Checkmate. Maestro.
He is the true mastermind in this show so far, he is much smarter than Wang Lin. He is never quite helpless and is able to pull the strings even from a position of weakness. His scheming is diabolical - he even deals a crushing blow to his queen on his way out by playing on her insecurities and exposing her. And the way he created doubt in the second prince's mind - "Are you sure you are not my son? Because someone told you? You are just like me...(ie ruthless and ambitious)." I am gonna miss the crafty old goat. I hope a better antagonist steps up going forward because if this just devolves into an inter palace harem kind of show of Wan Ru vs the dowager empress vs Wang Xuan it would be a real pity. Neither woman are interesting villains or worthy opponents of Wang Xun. Even if Xian Qi saves Wang Lin surely he cannot come back from trying to seize the throne.....
I see what you're saying, I seen lots of her ranting because I love to rant myself....... but I must say.....…
Mary Sue is one of the most widely mis-used and lazy ways to describe a character because it can apply to most FLs out there in some way or another. Its like saying oh there is a FL in this drama, which is a matter of fact but hardly interesting.

Well she didn't make any points that were incremental to what is already widely said about the drama. I found it a waste of time and pointless but if it helped you your time was well spent.
As a God of War, normally they would cast an actor looking angry with no smiles to make him look fearsome. Not…
Chang Chen also has remarkable chemistry with ZZY but just like A'wu and Zidan, that was first love and ZZY and ZYW's Wang Xuan and Xiao Qi is a true, grownup love. It is a totally different vibe and I think both roles/couples are iconic in her/their acting history.
Yes, couldn't agree more. I liked L&R too but there was too many fillers and too much blood coughing.
I agree completely - I loved the plot and the way the backstory was revealed in L&R but not so much the characters. Funnily even though I mean to, I haven't been able to re-watch the Wolf because I am not ready to go through that again.
Awu wearing sneakers in Epi 20! Another round of ZZY roasting.....
Wow that is the kind of attention to detail that floors me... do these people have no life that they are watching every scene in slow motion and literally frame by frame???
Its really cute it made me smile even though its kind of juvenile. But I wish he wrote Wang Xuan repeatedly instead…
Indeed it does signify that he is family and intimate with her now so I can definitely live with Awu also... In fact when she was surprised and delighted he knew her nickname that was a great scene.
Its just that if he calls her Wang Xuan or Xuan'er its a name that is uniquely his and reflects her personal growth from that brave girl to a formidable woman.

Let's just say that if we were to review AvenueX's review, the quality of her review is much worse than what she thinks the drama is. It is a completely pointless rant by a reviewer who wouldn't recognize a Mary Sue if they slapped her on the face. It was also very nasty she took a sharp elbowed swipe at Marcus Sim (no worthwhile English speaking reviewer likes the drama or something like that).
Well hopefully you didn't post that you unsubscribed unlike some poor user that she just named and shamed. I also unsubscribed her some time back bc I realised she mostly wants to watch and review the modern stuff which is fine but not what I am interested in. I just think if modern stuff is your thing, watch Western dramas (which I do) no one does it better. But her videos still keep popping up on my darn YouTube I can't seem to mute the videos or the posts....

The English/translation is iffy and they are described in the bottom paragraphs.
Xiao Qi's character was inspired by:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hou_Jing
It appears in history he did have 3 heads and 6 arms. Wang Xuan is supposedly the Liyang princess that he married.
Its just that if he calls her Wang Xuan or Xuan'er its a name that is uniquely his and reflects her personal growth from that brave girl to a formidable woman.
