Thank you! Going to check it out!

Well, four people have died (Shao Yang the Dowager Empress of Northern Qin has died off-screen, if I am not wrong). I cried over the three characters that died, and especially when Xie Jiayu was sobbing her heart out.

Ai Mi is very good at crying scenes.

It will be a proper happy ending.

The full details are only available in mandarin, and even fellow chinese viewers believed this was an original script.

It's confusing without being explained, so I will make the necessary update tomorrow and then post a comment in this comment section.

I am very jealous of his complexion. Good thing he inspires me to work out and have a good skincare regime!

The Eagle King is underhanded and willing to do almost anything, to achieve his goals. Any woman that winds up with him will have a bad ending. Or a just ending, depending on the woman.

Thank you for being patient.

People were assuming that ML Xiao Wuyi having a harem would be a disaster or something else, and then the reality of that "harem" is a very refreshing and enjoyable take on what many people assumed would be trope-y and boring or melodramatic.

Celebration! This drama has gone from A to S+, and that was within 48 hours of airing!

Breaking 9000 HI should be on Sunday, if I guess correctly (we are still in the working week).

The exact information is more complicated than what is widely available, and the full details are available only in mandarin. Once I have added that to my forum thread that was started in July 2025, I will post an update in this comment section as well. Likely tomorrow.

I know people like "Story of Yanxi Palace" but before that, Director Gao's "Empress Of China" is my favourite palace intrigues C-drama. He is not sentimental, in the sense that if people need to die, they will.

I already braced myself for today's episodes but even then, I was super-teary.

He is an expert at shooting romance without needing liplocking or PDA, and he knows what the censors will accept in that aspect. To me, kissing and PDA in recent C-dramas are the laziest ways of trying to create romance. You've seen 16 episodes and in episode 17, you'll know what I mean.

I second the recommendation for the 2002 drama!

The screenwriters for "Key To The Phoenix Heart" have done massive innovations and changes in the screenplay as an adaptation of the novel 《雀骨》of the same name by Chao Yunzi, who is also the author of the novel that has been adapted as a drama and is now on MDL known as "Yunchu's Vengeance".

As a result, the fans of the historical novel are pleased that despite significant changes, certain traits from the novel have been preserved in this drama. Given the extent of changes, the twists, the pacing, and how this drama has been filmed, it is easy to mistake the screenplay of "Key To The Phoenix Heart" for an original script. Many chinese viewers also mistake the screenplay for an original script. There is no need to read the original novel to watch this drama.

I will be adding an update about this in my forum post, pertaining to the production details.

Just as I told others about episodes 16 and 17, I can say that this drama will have an actual happy ending.

Just as I already told someone before episodes 15 and 16 that no one survives falling off a cliff with Director Gao, I also say it will be HE, and not in a questionable open-ended way.

[ Shut the f up why would any normal man date girl in her early twebties when he is almost 36. Don't give this crap with all the shitty excuses he is lusting after much younger women and his girlfriend looks like she could be his daughter completely childlike face and what there is nothing wrong with it?? Thats peek predatory shit just like that American guy de caprio. People like you are why these disgusting old men prey on young innocent girl and exploit their nativity!!!! And don't give she is an adult bullshit either she is not even 25 aka her brain hasn't fully developed. What a freaking weirdo to defend him ] - @Uvimolla, from more than two years ago.

There are quite a few viewers familiar with his work, mourning the cold storage. I want "Su Ji" to air, and it's been more than 4 years.... (I've given up on the rest 😭😭😭😭)

Well, she will merit what she gets in the future. Her brother is her most important person.
