your comment about bop fl being the b word made me realize I won't like the novel you posted. I love the attitude of bop. she's cunning,sharp and heartless. I admire her, she's the only fl in cnovel I've liked so far. so...I don't think your novel is my cup of tea.

lemme check it out. I love reading novels about strong,cunning, heartless female leads.

are you sure you're watching the same drama as us? I'm very confused. what do you mean fl did everything for ex husband. she never liked her ex husband. in the whole series,the ex husband was upset that she never ever liked him,not even once. she never did anything for her ex husband, he's the one who did everything for her. what the hell are you even talking about? what did you watch? 💀
also,xiao Huayong was never a blabbering fool. he only acted cutesy for HER. INFRONT OF HER. completely different when fls act like that. because fls constantly need ML's to save their a$$. Xiao Huayong SAVED XIHE MULTIPLE TIMES.
wtf did you even watch?????

yeah.. it's a loose end in the drama. so people who haven't read the novel,are confused.

Xiao Huayong faked his death by getting stabbed while saving the emperor. same like the drama. after that,they had a corpse similar to xiao Huayong lay in the coffin. while he and xie yunhai left for his treatment through a secret passage. his return was tricky. when Xihe became the empress dowager,she was very young after all. so some ministers thought to curry favor with her,by bringing her men. she threw them out. but one minister sent her a man that looked like xiao Huayong,she killed him instantly in anger. later,prince changqing sent a man that looked like xiao Huayong too. but it was actually xiao Huayong himself. so all the people who got the information thought it's another man that looked like the crown prince. other people,who didn't know about this thing, didn't know there was a man that looked like xiao Huayong in the palace,with Xihe. only some ministers who are closest to Xihe and Huayong knew he returned. like cui Jinbai knew,and other trusted people.
he never had official status. Xihe and Huayong planned that after their son reached the marriageable age, they'd leave the palace and roam around the world.

There were differences between drama and the novel. instead of Changqing,it was Changying who died. the emperor and the previous crown prince both were sons of the empress dowager. the emperor was actually trying to wipe out Shen family. shen yingrou married another royal relative,who was also a hereditary prince and there were many more.. but the drama didn't disappoint me even though it tweaked the plot slightly. Changqing's devotion to Gu Qingzhi/Shen Xihe.. god.. I loved every bit of it. I'll have to say, I've never ever ever read or watched any drama/novel where the female lead is loved by so many men(and a fake man) of her life. her father,her brother,her husband,her ex husband,her ex husband's brother,the fake man Bu Shulin.. every person she had close relationship with,loved her dearly. even the step sister,she also admired her. this was a fresh feeling.
Shen Xihe is the first cnovel/drama fl I've admired. she's cold, calculative, extremely smart and would never let anyone take advantage over her. typically,they make such loved, pampered fls into a cringey, cutesy blabbering fool. she's such a refreshing character,that I've admired her since I've read the novel.

I never once said MZY goes to FCC first. because I know it's all scripted.. and that's why I said KR is trying to force chemistry between them and shove it on our faces. It's not like I have any personal issues with her, so don't make it sound like that. I'm saying it's KR production team who are doing this. so don't say,fans are hating on her. whether she leaves or not,it depends on her and the KR team. So don't you make the mzy fans think that fans are pressing her to leave. 🤨

I'm liking the new season,more than previous season. everyone is very funny and casual here. especially the older geges 😂😂😂. and Wang Yuwen became my new favourite in variety shows. she's so cool,funny and cute looking. she reminds me of BaiLu. ahem and um.. SHE HAS EXPLOSIVE CHEMISTRY WITH LIU YUNING 🔥. I almost started to ship them,their hug,was so cuteeee and comforting. ugh.. someone cast them in a drama together! Liu Yuning is so.. dreamy. I didn't get his charm before,but after watching that scene with Yuwen,I get his fans. 😌❤️

I just saw the latest trailers..Bu Shulin..became a mother.. hehehehe.. with her manly attire,it feels like Mpreg 😂😂😂

Very vertical short drama coded.
Cinematography
Plotline
BGM/OSTs
Acting
The characters
The backgrounds
Everything is toned down vertical short drama type. BUT...those vertical short dramas are guilty pleasures. Like spicy snacks you eat,and once you've started eating,you can't just stop. 🤣 So I'm kinda liking the drama. 😌
Also Wang Churan is looking so pretty here. Cheongsam/Qipao suits her figure very well. 💖

Ps. I want to know if Chinese republican families had personal militaries back then?

Did this drama have cloud seat bookings? If yes,which people bought them?

I think I finally know why she got a hate campaign. It's because she was establishing her own company. She has influence and a large fanbase. If she has her own company, she won't lose out much. But her competitors,they won't let her.. they're afraid. No wonder she was losing fans,got so much hate, trying ruining her influence.

I'm continuously arguing others in defense of Shen Xihe. THAT GIRL IS NOT UNFEELING. COLD. OR RUDE. IT'S JUST SHE DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT ROMANTIC LOVE. Have you seen her being rude to her brother? Father? Friends? No.. because she does love and care about others. Familial love is also a form of love. Her family's future depends on her marriage ffs. Can she just act like love brained fool? She doesn't dare. She saw Gu family massacre,even her 3 year old nephew was executed. And it was her husband who loves her,that saw over that. She doesn't blame Changqing,but know love alone cannot save them. Now as Shen Xihe,she doesn't want to see another massacre of her family. What's wrong with everyone?

2026 cdramas are for 2nd lead couples lol. first it was Qi Min and Yu Qian Qian and now Cui Jinbai and Bu Shulin. I love them all. but at least CJB and BSL will get happy ending.

no mission. she fully became Shen Xihe. and she doesn't want what happened to Gu family to Shen family.

this is my first time seeing her. now I love her. she's like a real life Bu Shulin. haha. it's as if the novel bu Shulin has reincarnated into this world and became her. I've never seen such a perfect casting of any drama, especially in historical fiction dramas. 🥰💖

ohh..this is my first time seeing her. made me like her instantly.

yeah... she looks like she's a very frank,free spirited woman..I really like her.

people who likes Bu Shulin and Cui Jinbai.. you gotta watch this. the actors are hilarious. especially bu Shulin's actress. she's a real life Shulin,lmfao

you're telling me,we can see Deng Kai here?
also I love Wang Yuwen's vibes so much. she's such witty,funny,tomboyish girl. and cute too. and the elders of this show is so fun and cheerful. most of the time, I'm laughing because of them.
