It reminds me of a plot that should have happened in the drama "Destined" where Liu Xiu Yi played the villain Luo Zi Shan (this salt trade plot was very important, it was in the novel, but not in the drama). But, it seems that now we will see him in this plot in the aforementioned drama: "Tearless snow". (there needs to be an official announcement). But I preferred xianxia first.

Episode 18 (Kiss scene).That scene where he kisses her furiously, after her kiss. He seems to let her go, but then he pulls her back and kisses her crying and angry. His tears slide down his face and onto hers. If I'm not mistaken, it's episode 18, or is it 19?
PS: This scene is very memorable for me. I thought: he can play this so well. But Hao Chen in "Love and Redemption" was like that too, although there was no kissing scene with the heroine he loved, because he was the "villain".
Yes, I loved "Qing Luo" too and there are some beautiful martial arts of his there, it looks like a dance.

I watched up to 21 (and not yet). I'm still going to watch episodes 22 and 23 today and there I'll also analyze the villain's feelings.

I'm still going to watch today's episodes and I'll be able to see if the 3rd prince feels something for JTH, because so far he's been playing dice with JTH and SZY, testing them both.

I started reading it and read up to chapter 3. It's about a fierce girl who only thinks about revenge. She calls herself a demon. But she meets this monk, this disciple, a martial arts master, who wants her to abandon the path of revenge. And the book begins with a very spicy scene between the two, which leads her to go back a thousand years in time to carry out her revenge. But then she discovers that he left a magical trap in her heart, and when she goes to do evil, she feels a terrible pain in her heart. (In the chapter I'm reading, she hasn't met him in this regressed past yet). The title in Chinese is sometimes translated as kindness, or goodness.

I watched "What If" (he even says that this is the character that most resembles his personality). And Hao Chen in "Love and Redemption" was my first character with him (he caught my attention a lot, to the point that at times I preferred him). As for being a total villain (that won't happen, I don't see any actor playing the villain (or with very questionable behavior in dramas), that's not allowed. (What one might want is a balance between good and evil, that's not bad, and I don't see him being labeled as that. I always saw him being labeled as the villain, and that he never smiled. Well, now he's the middle ground between the two (and I like that, that transformation, that ambiguity, even if softened). And he smiles, with charm, with love or with hate. That kiss scene (and his speech in the scene was phenomenal), the total ambiguity between love and hate. Between tenderness and aggression. It was very well played.
PS: But I think the best character he played between good and evil (was Yuan Zhong, in xianxia, ​​A moment but forever, with actress Tiffany Tang). The existential conflict was well portrayed in the drama, including showing the conflict in the consciousness stage.
PS: Another actor who seems like a villain in stories, Luo Yunxi, has he ever played a truly questionable villain? (I've only watched two of his dramas, but I already know he hasn't played anything like that.)

Indeed !! 👏👏👏

No, pure evil is just a supporting character in the story. And LXY has already played dozens and dozens of supporting characters. This is the right moment to be used as ML. If this moment passes (he could never play the male lead). SZY is perfect in his role. I wouldn't change him for a second (I could change all the actors, except him). He is the hero of the story. He is not the villain.
He is wonderful in the scene he appears in. Asking him to be a supporting actor again at the age of 30 is a bit of a misunderstanding of the actor's struggle to be recognized. And I want to savor every scene of him as a male lead in every important role he gets in every drama that comes along. And I dream of another xianxia with him as the male lead.
PS:
He just finished filming a spy thriller drama. He plays a police officer. I want to watch this drama with him too, from youku. 'Jagged peaks"

👏👏👏👏👏 The drama is more watchable and acceptable than the book.

I think this drama is a great opportunity for him. And the actor chooses what he has at hand. The competition is very high, especially in a field where this type of drama favors those in their 20s. (But he is perfect in the drama.) The other drama that was offered to him (was about martial arts), and it was given to Ao Rui Peng.
Ps: I hope the rumor about another xianxia with him is true. I love xianxias with him. But there is another famous drama from the Tang Dynasty that is being rumored to be the ML (with a top 1 actress in China, the one who played Mulan).🤔💖

But we can deduce. And SZY's passionate moment makes up for the whole scene. And she needs to be a little cold to match the character (which was well explained now why she is like that).

😊😊😊👏👏👏✨✨🌸

Ok.

👏😊🌸

Fog clearing

The emissaries are lined up in chancellor’s home. They have heard rumors the princess was killed for spying so immediately want to let the chancellor know how they debased and mistreated her and her brother. Servants definitely received better treatment than the royal siblings. I like how the aide gave her a private chamber to view the proceedings. I really like him and Princess’ bodyguard as characters. The chancellor had already dismissed the majority where they were reaping the rewards of their ‘kindnesses’ to the siblings. He was down to the last three. These were the last of the old guard servants that hated the mistreatment of the pair and as much as were able, gave what small relief they could to very horrid conditions. These three were in tears expecting death and grateful that the Princess had finally found someone that cared for her. They were rewarded with gold for their service. I’m sure the chancellor wasn’t expecting for the worst tales he heard prior to be far better than her actual circumstances. I think it literally shook him to see how mistaken he was and how harsh his treatment had been. But, what is saddest of this, his deliberate harshness of circumstances didn’t compare to the harshness she was already well used to. And the woman directly behind it is the woman third Prince absolutely adores. What a pair those two are.😝 Our pair is off to find her bodyguard. The princess’ head is still muddled and she is still trying to sort things. Her survival skills have her playing the game well in spite of the fog. She must have mentally rehearsed her plan with third prince well before her mountain journey. The chancellor definitely wants her guard found because she will confirm everything he has tried to tell her and hint at. The result of their search lead to a secret chamber. The empress’ bracelet was an interesting find. This should remind her of the boutique and empress’ token the third prince showed off that ended up causing the eunuch his life. The brain fog is swirling the events in her mind but her picture will receive clarity in time. Just wonder if in time to benefit her? The minister’s disciple stealing the scholar’s work is so typical. And then whining it was still so long to copy.😝I liked that the chancellor planted the seed in 4th prince’s head to find a sponsor for the farm boy scholar. The disciple wannabe will cause grief, but he is cunning, not necessarily smart. He has already proved himself lazy so that will eventually trip him up. The true author writes feeling little effort so there is no doubt the truth will come out. It was shrewd of the chancellor to leave princess with her handkerchief and the words she could trust him. She now knows how to open the secret door but still no clue where her bodyguard is being held. At least she is still alive. I’m hoping she gets to stay that way. The empress in mourning clothes surveying the land with third prince. He promises all that she sees. The land of peach blossom servants😝These two deserve each other and bodies are going to line up significantly higher than psycho prince planned. These two are what nightmares are made of when in charge.

Princess’ gambit

Here the princess is in a delicate spot. She is in the crucible of two nation’s plotting and her survival skills are kicked in maxed level. In this scenario she thinks she is sacrificing her place with chancellor, but I think she will find that is not the case. Her bodyguard is in the most dangerous spot for a servant. She is far more subtle than sis, but her mouth is often on a par when angered. I don’t see things going well with her in this environment. She and chancellor know the prince has the antidote. Her meal to the chancellor😂 that was the one light spot in this episode. The third Prince, there is such an insidious essence about his character. He uses the ex wife’s name and the wife to taunt the chancellor. His contempt that the chancellor has feelings for her. Funny how either third prince’s love or hero worship of the visiting empress leaves a surprisingly similar look on his face. Even snakes can be devoted. I liked him so much in another drama, so for him to be so vile here is rather unnerving. I deducted a star for the time warped brother. There is no defense of this age shift that can be offered. Even if the time elapsed has been three or four years he would still be younger than the young man they showed. This should be his age at the end of the story when things have been decided. Many are dropping this because of the inconsistencies and poor judgment calls of the writer. That is fair. But in spite of the total mess the author has made of this story I find myself wanting to see how our princess and chancellor fare for the duration. If I wanted logic, I don’t think Chinese drama would be the best place to expect it. Whether or not the story makes sense, it makes me feel something even if it’s annoyance at the writer for taking wrong turns in plot development. For better or worse I want to know what happens to these two. Just call me a glutton for punishment. 😂😄

Episode 20: The synchronicity of love is in the air

This episode 20 was beautiful. Every look, every renewed hope of finding her was beautiful to see. And Mu Wu Yin's speech (I used to admire Chancellor SZY but now it ends with this... With that look of contempt.).
I also liked the confrontation of the young villain (he is very cold) and was just testing SZY and also tested JTH.
SZY's investigative and intelligent ability was not impaired. And the moment when SZY and JTY looked at each other for the last time was very touching. He leaned over to pick up the prayer object (which he made for her, and was found on her body before, showing the appreciation she hid that she feels for him). That pain in her eyes and his (it was the first time I saw them in tune with the same feeling for each other), even though she had lost her memory. That pain she felt for him (and he for her), was very real and tangible. It was beautiful to watch. And the beautiful music when he is leaving and she looks with touched eyes at his back.
PS: And I like that the villain Mu Wu Yin facing SZY is a rivalry that convinces me. And Mu Wu Yin mocked SZY's weakness but he himself has his own weakness.

Why did he deserve it? He didn't throw her off the cliff, he tried to save her. (And that king should be his friend, not a monster, but that fits with the machinations that SZY will probably have to devise), that king was probably already up to no good. Maybe he's involved with what happened to SZY's family in the past.
