I've been waiting for this. Great news!! Most realistic acting as Liu Chang. Looks like heartbreaking ending for him.

Hope it's true Costume detective stories are usually interesting. I really liked Miles in White cat legend. Also want to mention Word of honor drama here for the director. Such a complicated plot well directed. It took me about 15 episodes to understand the plot and various sects/clans and the characters ๐Miles played only a guest role in this but made an impact.
Miles and Zheng He Huizi wish us a happy valentine's day ๐https://youtube.com/shorts/sdSYQf5bc78?si=AGYKGhQVfeeM9tqChttps://h5.video.weibo.com/show/1034:5133902399078449https://youtube.com/shorts/AR4vPZfRCwE?si=pNhxqpmdqQtd22Ha
Sweet surprise on valentine's day. They look good together
I really don't understand how you guys call yourselves fans, but don't actually support. Then you complain when…
I think many here genuinely love Miles as seen from previous interactions/comments in this chat group. Personally I have not seen anything like this before with regards to Miles' roles in the past. Right now I feel they are unable to accept that he is in a support role (an oppressed passive role). They love him too much to bear to see him suffer and pitiful. As they are used to seeing him in dominating roles. Hopefully once the series finishes airing they will start watching.
I just want to say how pleased I am for Miles for bagging a role that allows him to show depth in his acting. Of course it is a female centred drama so the maximum screen time is on the FL. But he is already making an impact in the screen time that he has been given. Ppl are reacting to his character only because he is doing a great job acting. Very proud of him ๐ฅฐ Miles acting is really good in Flourished Peony.
Don't you all think that LC is being too Narcissistic??
Prince Ning, Liu Chang's parents are definitely narcissistic. Maybe the County Princess too. Can't say he is a complete narcissist (yet!) He does have an exaggerated sense of self-importance and is somewhat deluded about his capabilities but he is not power hungry and is shown as wanting to go up the ladder with his own efforts. He has a closed feudalistic view of the world. He wants independence, respect and success but doesn't know the ways or have the means to achieve them. He was oppressed by the patriarchy and imperial power of feudal society, yet He Weifang, achieved her independence, respect and success in the same society. Hence he envies hers.

Thank you all. That helps! While some of us older fans have seen Miles in shady roles in few dramas, some new fans and some young fans have only known him as Mr Perfect and casual kind of roles and are hesitating to watch this villain role. Trying to mobilise that group of fans. As an actor he must be bored of being Mr Perfect. It's a welcome change imo as long as he doesn't completely shift gear to the other side.

Liu Chang cannot be simply categorized as a villain or a scumbag. His bad deeds are rooted, constrained by historical limitations, and he is a complex tragic character. The bad things he did are incomprehensible from our modern perspective, especially to the male and female leads who have similar progressive thoughts. However, in the context of his original society, these actions were normal, making mutual understanding impossible. From Liu Chang's perspective, being born into an official family, the so-called high-ranking household, but in reality, it had long since decayed and was living beyond its means. From a young age, he was taught that his status was more noble than others, a thought that was deeply ingrained in his mind. In fact, the entire society was like this; although the Tang Dynasty was open, it still had distinctions of high and low, noble and humble, across the three teachings and nine streams The first crack in this worldview appeared when Liu Yuzhen and Li Youzhen fell in love and wanted a free marriage, but were rejected because Li's status was higher than Liu's. She pointed her finger at him and said he was unworthy, dragging him away in a humiliating manner. This was upward obedience, realizing his social position, and the simple worldview was torn apart, revealing the malice of fate behind the hierarchical society. The second time was when his family sold him to the female lead, treating him like a commodity in exchange. He had already begun to lose his dignity as a person. Out of necessity, the marriage was a downward compromise. In fact, his anger had little to do with the female lead herself; he just couldn't swallow his pride. He couldn't resist the power above him, had to bow for the sake of daily necessities, and was constrained by the moral standards that were most important to scholars. It was both the compulsion of parental orders and the obligation to fulfill duties. He couldn't resist anyone, couldn't fight back, and could only use indifferent, cynical drunken curses as a form of rebellion and revenge, because there was no other way. I even think he discovered the female protagonist's differences and and abilities early on, which intensified his envy and jealousy. The stronger the other person is, the more it reminds him of how inadequate he is. Ultimately, it's anger at his own incompetence. Perhaps, on some level, he envies the female lead for the freedom she has in her merchant family. She can engage in business to make a living, but given his status, even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it. (I even doubted whether he had idealized the second female lead in his memory).He thought "Fine, let's just get married. For this, I'll endure it". The third time, finally reunited with his lover, he might have felt that the county lord was like a savior coming to redeem him. He was still immersed in the joy of the reunion and hadn't enjoyed it for long when he quickly realized that things and people had changed, or that he might have been deceived from the very beginning and hadn't seen the other person clearly. The irony here is that for the sake of higher pursuits, he is enduring humiliation and bearing the burden. Thus, the so-called ultimate pursuit also shattered into nothingness. If forced to love day and night, it will only make him think more and more about his failures and mistakes. It's natural for a nobleman's son to care about his reputation, but having his leg broken, a visible and glaring disability, constantly reminds him and others of his humiliation. At this point, his personality has almost been completely destroyed. The county lord's changeable human heart can be summed up in two words: snobbishness. In fact, the focus on profit by businessmen is the same as the pursuit of profit, and it is divorced from the core of integrity in traditional culture. Therefore, the county boss and the heroine and the hero are the same type of people. They know how to be flexible and harmonious, but Liu Chang's traditional concept and stubborn mindset advocates that they have a single-minded belief that they would rather die than give in. Liu Chang cannot be simply summed up as a villain or a scumbag. The badness of this person is rooted, trapped in historical limitations, and a complex tragic character. It appears incomprehensible but the complete tragedy of this character is embodied in many aspects.
For those unsure or confused about Liu Chang. Some blogger has done an analysis on Liu Chang character. I just copied it and Google translated. Spoiler below.
For Miles' fans- we are truly in a situation ๐๐ Can't love, can't hate that character. See if you can get through the first few episodes and decide. This is completely different to his usual roles. Let's applaud him for accepting a challenging role and doing a fantastic job of it! Personally I wouldn't want to miss watching such a brilliant series where everything is top notch. Of course I have to admit Yang Zi stood out!

Wei Zheming gave Liu Chang a vivid soul, and the character's fickleness and hypocrisy were fully displayed through…
Nice. The 3 pictures in the poster could be symbolic of the 3 phases of Liu Chang character growth - passive static phase to rebellious inconsistent confusion phase to conscientious effortful all round development phase
I don't know if I pity him or annoyed at his lack of growing a spine. His life is never his own! His parents use…
Liu Chang is a complex character. The script writer has put LC in a bubble of pride, ego, cynicism, anger, envy, incompetence, self-righteousness, obsession, retaliation, self pity.,. To break through all this will take several episodes in the drama ๐๐๐ (character progression if any).
The fact that his character is able to evoke anger/hatred/pity etc etc in the viewers is a testimony to the actors acting ability.
