HAHA I get you, I also usually spend a good amount of time watching his real-life clips after watching his dramas 😂

Me too!!! Cheng Yi attended a forensics program as a guest and he was really good at it. I'm sure he'll excel in a crime thriller or psychological drama!

I did actually 😂😭 but I skipped the suffering scenes 😅

That is what I keep hearing from the fans in weibo. Not 100% confirmed though because I don't have any first-hand source.

Yes, that's right, which is why "idol-like" romance dramas are not really his priority right now. Liang Jing Shi Wu Ri's novel is written by a very well known writer and the director is also very established. Cheng Yi wants to work with these people!

I understand that many fans may be sad to see him suffering with so many sad endings but well as long as he is happy in real life, I'm good 😂

Actually Cheng Yi is quite "stubborn" in a good way. He only accepted Vendetta of An after they made revisions in the script and he also only accepted Liang Jing Shi Wu Ri after 2 years. He tends to choose scripts that promote overall good life values and strong morals :) even though they somehow end up with his character suffering 😅. Hoping that he'll get a modern "non-idol" drama like Draw the Line next, at least modern drama won't have much suffering I hope 😂

No worries! Yes I agree too. His contract officially expires on January next year which is why I mentioned it. I just hope there'll be good news and he'll have more freedom in choosing his projects and activities! Happy holidays to you and family too ❤️

Err I think you read it wrongly? I said terrible company haha

If this drama can air, I'll be the happiest person alive 🥺😭. This is my most anticipated drama.

Nope. This is an original script, not related to that drama or any novel.

For original scripts (non-IP), it's normal for producers to want to make more money with a second season if the first season is successful. The thing is whether Cheng Yi wants to accept or not. Cheng Yi will consider it based on the script itself. If Cheng Yi doesn't accept, the producers/screenwriter may try to use another actor as Xie Huai An and maybe give a reason like his face was disfigured or burned and he had to had face surgery or something lol. Or the they might say that the person in the special episode is not Xie Huai An at all.

I feel like the special episode was set up to be vague on purpose so that it paves the way for Season 2. They can twist this vague special episode into anything. Personally, I cannot imagine Season 2 without Cheng Yi.

Interesting detail that I saw some Chinese fans mention. In the earlier episodes where Qing Yi and Liu Ziyan (Huai An's uncle) were talking, they mentioned a doctor who treated a swordsman. That swordsman is Ye Zheng, that we know already, but that doctor is the beautiful lady doctor that appeared in the latest episodes.

This is my guess if that person is indeed Xie Huai An. Xie Huai An is an extremely dangerous person due to his intelligence. Many characters such as Xiao Wuyang, Yan Fengshan, and Wu Zhongheng have said this before. In times of peril, Huai An's intelligence is of useful to the Emperor but in peaceful times like the ending, Huai An's intelligence may be a huge threat. It's just like when Wu Zhongheng was "imprisoned" by Yan Fengshan. But I don't know if this makes sense lol. My other guess is that Xie Huai An self-detained himself.

Regarding the letter and bottle, they are probably setting it up for Season 2. The bottle may contain medicine to heal Huai An's burns on his face or something.

Some other theories I saw on weibo is that despite the voice sounding like XHA, the person being imprisoned is not XHA but Season's 2 MC. Xie Huai An and Wu Zhongheng both perished in the fire.

Yess the OSTs are so beautiful!! I'll actually keep listening to them even after the drama is done.

First, it is unlikely that Cheng Yi will choose to act in the sequel (if there is one). He seems to me like the kind of actor to move on to new works. I could be wrong though.

Second, the special episode purposely did not show the face of the person being detained. If that person is indeed Xie Huai An, I feel like they might set it up as Xie Huai An got disfigured in the fire and had to change his face or something. Then another actor will take the role.

It very much looks like they are setting up for Season 2. However, most likely Xie Huai An won't be the MC anymore or there'll be a different actor for XHA.

The reason for cutting down the episodes is censorship related.

LOL A Chinese fan edited this show to the Zootopia 2 OST, "Zoo". 🤣🤣

The creator captioned this as "This is Zoo's original MV" 🤣

Yep unless a miracle happens and whatever issues that Hero Legends has will be resolved. Liang Jing Shi Wu Ri is still filming now so most likely it will only air in 2027.

This year has been extremely busy and difficult for Cheng Yi. Even though there's no drama of CY that'll be aired next year (unless Hero Legends receives approval), I'm happy that he can finally take a break from the spotlight. I wish for Cheng Yi to be able to leave that terrible company, receive more good scripts and act in dramas of his own choice! Hope that he can also have a good break after filming Liang Jing Shi Wu Ri.

I also believed that Xie Huai An died T_T. Him on the chair is like an illusion or past or something figurative.
