This just sounds like someone trying to stir up trouble, since the government is cracking down on the billing…
I think they like this fuss, just to warm up the drama. (If some think this will hurt the drama, I don't believe it will, as it already sets up a bit of what the plot will be like.)
According to synopsis,ML (Liu Xue Yi)is died....😭😭😬Then drama must be chaotic to watch...
He dies before the female lead, but before that, he participates in crucial events for the story, which will reverberate in relation to the actions she will take. It is because of him that her objectives change and she begins to have new ideals.(And I think the story won't remove him so quickly, in the way it will be told).
It doesn't appear there (but it comes from this page and the Tencent Video page). It's official.Drama official…
Ok, but... It's also an original source (sometimes the page doesn't appear, it's hidden, but the material comes from there). And Tencent Video is also an official source.

Screenwriters: Jin Haishu, Li Xiang Director: Yan Jiangang Leading Cast: Yang Mi, Liu Xueyi, Hu Jun, Liu Yijun, Yang Le Special Guest Stars: Lin Yongjian, Luan Yuanhui, Wang Herun Special Feature: Guo Xiaodong [Synopsis] During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, small states in northern China were divided. In order to avoid being swallowed up by the powerful neighbor Northern Wei, the King of Northern Yan offered his daughter Feng Sui (played by Yang Mi) to Tuoba Tao (played by Hu Jun) as a concubine. However, this could not stop Tuoba Tao's ambition to expand his territory. He successively conquered the Xia, Northern Yan, and Northern Liang, unifying the north. Feng Sui, who was filled with hatred for her family and country, secretly resolved to destroy Wei and restore Yan. After Tuoba Tao's death, the royal family experienced turmoil before Tuoba Jun (Liu Xueyi) ascended the throne. He was deeply in love with Feng Yan'er (Yang Mi), the niece of Feng Cui, and defied public opinion to make her his empress. Influenced by Feng Cui, Feng Yan'er approached Tuoba Jun with the idea of restoring her kingdom, but was ultimately moved by his exceptional insight and magnanimity, relinquishing her obsession with restoration. Unfortunately, Tuoba Jun died young, and amidst the political upheaval, Feng Yan'er became the steadfast inheritor of her husband's political legacy. She overcame the combined attacks of the conservative forces within the Tuoba royal family and the restoration organizations of the old Yan state, firmly promoting a policy of ethnic reconciliation, actively embracing Han civilization, and significantly influencing the integration of various ethnic groups in the north. https://m.weibo.cn/status/5282112735546420

The whole controversy is so dumb 🤦♀️LXY is getting flammed to the max right now for no reason
Without a doubt, Liu Xue Yi's character is just as much a protagonist as Yang Mi's empress (one character complements the other), without diminishing or belittling the other actor or actress.
Happy Idol Chaser and Sugar-Eating Machine 8 minutes ago, from a Weibo video account
The filming schedule for Yang Mi's new drama, "Jiangshan Datong," has generated controversy. Filming is about to begin and has been divided into two groups, A and B. Group A will film Yang Mi's main storyline, while Group B will film Liu Xueyi's. Yang Mi will have more screen time in the first half, while Liu Xueyi will be responsible for the second. Each group will also have its own scriptwriter. Liu Xueyi seems reluctant to play a supporting role alongside Yang Mi, and with two scriptwriters and two main storylines, the fluidity and coherence of the story are a major concern. Many netizens are apprehensive about the drama. Weibo video of Happy Idol Chaser and Sugar-Eating Machine. https://m.weibo.cn/status/5281958331684666
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. 3 hours ago , from Liu Xueyi's Super Topic After thinking about it, I still decided to write a separate post to praise Xuezi and the little fox. It's been so long since I've written anything; my brain is getting rusty.The direct reason for overcoming my laziness is @Snow-苏苏' s masterpiece, "飒" (Sa, meaning cool/cool)! #Liu Xueyi Nian Wushuang# lxy #Promoting Liu Xueyi to the World# "Sa" – is Yuan Zhong's signature song, and also Liu Xueyi's soulful expression.
"I am a rebel against fate –" Every time I hear this line, my eyes well up with tears before my reason. Yuan Zhong was betrayed by his clan, his magic was sealed, and he was imprisoned for forty years. After being released, he was still restricted in his movements, having his life essence drained while being used as a puppet for twenty years , yet he never truly became an evil dragon – because deep down, he was still that kind little fox who could grow thorny fruit even in the freezing cold. And what about Liu Xueyi himself? He played supporting roles for ten years, endured countless doubts, yet still gave his all to every role. They are not people who passively accept their fate, but people who defy it and always choose kindness.
This song perfectly reflects Yuan Zhong and himself—it sings of the magnanimity that comes after hardship.
Yuan Zhong finally let go of his obsession with destroying the world, not because of weakness, but because he "figured it out"—just as he said in his final words, "Suddenly I realized that I had gotten everything I wanted." Yes, he is that kind of easily satisfied little fox who is never greedy. Rather than seeking revenge, he chose to think about what he had—the people and things he cherished most—leading him to forgive, choosing a path more difficult than hatred.
Liu Xueyi is the same; he doesn't compete or vie for attention, yet every step he takes is steady and deliberate. From supporting roles to leading roles, from B-movies to S+ series, from domestic screens to international stages, he lets his work speak for itself and his characters retain their appeal.
"The flowing water doesn't strive to be first, but rather to flow endlessly." This is exactly the feeling I get from him. Unhurried and unperturbed, unaffected by popularity or external noise. On set, he's everyone's source of joy, possessing both high emotional and intellectual intelligence; he approaches acting with the tenacity of a traditional craftsman—repeatedly refining every glance and every micro-expression, engraving "acting well" into his very being. But at the same time, he's not old-fashioned; he surfs the internet, catches jokes, and can deliver a stand-up comedy routine with ease, even out-arguing himself more than his critics… He has the internet speed and youthful energy of a twenty-year-old. This perfect balance of tradition and modernity is precisely what makes him so captivating. A handsome appearance is already one in a million, but he also possesses an interesting soul—one in a million—making it easy to fall for him .
"All worldly affairs fade into dust, feet firmly on the ground, head held high, we heroes are no ordinary men!" Why are we so confident? Because we are certain that we admire a truly great actor—one who possesses a serene composure untouched by worldly concerns, a wisdom that flows like a gentle stream, a steadfast commitment to his original aspirations, and a vibrant energy that keeps pace with the times.
Even if he defies fate, following in his footsteps, we have learned: not to strive for the moment, but for an eloquent and continuous delivery. Let us strive together .

You wouldn't believe the personal charm of Tuoba Jun.PleasePleasePlease Tuoba Jun was the grandson of Emperor Taiwu (Tuoba Tao) and the eldest son of Emperor Jingmu (Tuoba Huang), his mother being Empress Gong (Yujiulü). From a young age, Tuoba Jun was intelligent and quick-witted, possessing exceptional bearing. A natural-born ruler, he was known as the "legitimate grandson of the emperor." During his reign, he quelled internal rebellions, executed Zong Ai, promoted social order and economic recovery, reformed the official system, reduced the people's burden, restored Buddhism, and initiated the construction of the Yungang Grottoes. The most important highlight should be the Yungang Grottoes.

Li March 35 minutes ago #YangMi's Great Harmony# Full Analysis: Character, Acting Skills, Cast, and Reputation
I. Core Introduction of the Series
"Great Harmony" is a historical drama of the Northern Wei Dynasty, a key project supported by the State Administration of Radio and Television, focusing on the legendary life of Empress Dowager Feng (Feng Yan'er).
Main Plot: The fall of the Northern Yan Kingdom → enslavement → entering the palace as empress → ruling as regent → implementing the salary/equal land system and Sinicization reforms → promoting the integration of Han and non-Han peoples, achieving "Great Harmony."
Time Span: 18-year-old girl → 45+ year old politician, nearly 40 years of life; Yang Mi plays two roles (Feng Yan'er + Aunt Feng Sui).
Production Team: Directed by Yan Jiangang ("The Road of Life"), written by Jin Haishu ("The Wind Rises in Longxi"); filmed on location in Datong + Hengdian, costumes and props based on Northern Wei artifacts.
II. Yang Mi's Acting Skills: Controversy and Breakthrough (Unreleased, depends on preparation and expectations)
1. Has her acting improved?
❶ Positive Signals:
Following the critical success of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," she is now focusing on serious dramas
, shedding her idol drama image. She spent six months studying historical materials, practicing etiquette, and refining her lines, repeatedly refining her character on set, earning the approval of veteran actors.
The character is incredibly complex: from a submissive slave to a scheming empress to a ruthless empress dowager, requiring a qualitative transformation in her eyes, aura, and dialogue.
❷ Controversy Points:
Can someone with an idol drama background handle the weight of a historical figure? Will her portrayal of an elderly character across a 40-year age span be natural?
2. Can she deliver a perfect performance?
Strengths: Yang Mi has the ability to handle leading roles and deeply empathizes with characters in power ("the loneliness of holding power"); the strong production team provides a solid foundation.
Risks: Historical dramas have low tolerance for error; slight deviations in details, lines, and demeanor are easily magnified.
3. Critical Outlook: A mix of applause and sighs.
Expectations: Viewed as a crucial battle for the 85-generation actresses' transformation into serious actresses, with potential for awards like the Magnolia Award.
Skeptics: They worry that popular actors can't carry the weight of historical drama, potentially turning it into a "historical drama in a historical shell."
Conclusion: Nothing is certain until it airs; the final product is the only benchmark. A good performance will boost reputation, a bad one will intensify controversy.
III. Cast Changes: Liu Yuning withdrew → Liu Xueyi accepted → Deng Wei joined.
Liu Yuning withdrew: Rumors circulated that he refused the male lead role because the character didn't fit and he was worried about overacting, not because he "didn't think much of the male lead."
Liu Xueyi accepted: He plays Emperor Wencheng Tuoba Jun (Empress Feng's husband), positioned as an "ideal figure," and will act alongside Yang Mi as a close confidant of the emperor.
Deng Wei joined: His role hasn't been officially announced, but he's likely an important supporting actor, with his good looks in period costume and his popularity.
Other actors: Chen Jianbin (rumored to play Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao), a combination of veteran actors and younger actors; supporting roles haven't been fully announced.
IV. Summary of Viewpoints:
"The Great Harmony of the Jiangshan" is Yang Mi's transformative work, aiming for mainstream awards and shedding her "traffic star" label; the 40-year span and the dual roles played by one actress present a major test of her acting skills, inevitably leading to polarized reviews; the revamped cast is more stable, and whether it can become a benchmark for historical dramas remains to be seen upon its release.
