LYX is back from his short Singapore trip and has once again shared the cultural heritage inspirations behind his costume in ZDL—Billou Palace and the Flower Bronze Mirror, both inspired by real artifacts from the Chengdu Embroidery Museum and the Guizhou Museum: https://weibo.com/u/1860563805
Waiting till he shares his Dunhuang inspired costume from Ep 31
Only on ep 11, I really don't understand why Alen Feng took this role. I'm really hating his character. I like…
Allen’s been around for a while—I must’ve seen him in dramas before but never took notice. His excellent portrayal of Liu Yan changed that. The role of Liu Yan might be the catalyst that launches him to greater stardom. And yes, I can’t hate LY either because Allen portrays him too well, especially at the end when he realizes he was wrong.
It’s done very well, no need to look at YunHe data because that’s from third party and they cooked the numbers.…
Better ignore the user still bitter her narrative failed—she promoted SLY as a romance drama for 1 yr+, ignoring since Dec 23 producer interviews + leaked script confirming it’s heroism-focused. Now she downplays SLY’s success by cherry-picking the lowest data while ignoring all other consistent strong metrics. She also hyped CP rank #35 and credited Deta. 3 weeks top 1 solely to her fav. actress, she now has become a laughing stock across diff platforms for her data ignorance.
SLY is not FP-level, but 🥭wouldn’t plan a concert if not extremely happy. Hunan TV insiders said they’re v happy with SLY and its long-tail strength post-SVIP. 🥭 insider blogger revealed :🥭 is now quietly working to snatch LYX’s next drama from 👖. 🥭 called SLY’s VS their most successful drama-specific VS ever (why it’s obvious the drama is doing well). Migu will not gave SLY celebration adv by placing another expensive adv after SLY finale, they opened SLY with 1M rmb adv on top of china’s tallest building and closing it also with another add on the same building. I could go on….
Their word outweighs any data newbie desperate to shade SLY. Plus what other data is more authoritative than CVB in China? CVB av. coefficient for SLY is 0.267, Yunhe gave SLY av. 0.11, some days as low as 0.05, while giving another drama airing at the same time av. 0.5 coefficient. Congrat. LYX for breaking another record: ALL TIME LOW YUNHE COEFFICIENT.
As for comparison other 🥭top drama coefficient. FP 0.3, My human fireworks 0.36, Go to windy places 0.27. 🥭drama consistently received lower co efficient than Qiyi drama as Yunhe financial backer.
Huanwang Big Data just produced a SLY article, declared “SLY repeatedly topped the rating charts for prime-time dramas on Satellite TV! It’s peak rating was 0.7346%, securing top spot for peak rating among historical drama on Satelite TV in the second half of 2025” It also mentioned over 800 overseas media outlets reporting it, distribution in over 120 countries, making it the most distributed C drama overseas in recent time.
Ps among other country prominent news paper I saw Associated Press, Singapore Straits Time, Thailand Business News and Anantara Indonesia and many others….reporting on SLY 💪
Word on the street—take it with a grain of salt—is that in addition to the SLY concert in Shanghai on Dec 14, there’s talk of another concert/fan’s meet in Singapore January 🥰. Meanwhile, about the event in Chengdu this Dec, they still try to arrange due to how packed year-end schedules usually are—for both venues and artists. There is a lot to celebrate! 💪
SLY : The venerable ones and ShizunShadow Punisher/Phantom detective: Moran and Shizun. And wait till you get…
SLY largest investor is China Mobile with it's streaming platform MIGU (mostly specialize in sport program) and MIGU is heavily promoting this documentary together with SLY. Also the some of his clothing are inspired by this Polata palace. When you reach celestial realm, I feel that set too inspired by Polata palace.
It’ll hit No. 1 soon. Just yesterday, it gained 4 million, and 2 million the day before. Let’s see what the final total looks like by the end of the V30 period.
Can we talk about Jeremy Tsui’s magnificent performance and outstanding costume in this drama?
In his past livestream, Jeremy shared he enjoyed playing GMD, it is different than any other character he played. I’d say GMD is an iconic villain—and Jeremy absolutely nailed it.

Fortunately, seasoned actors help balance out newer ones. On data, long-time data watcher knows SLY data is very good. I’ve seen front-end data for popular 🥭 dramas from ‘22–‘25. Compared SLY’s daily trendline with 🥭 popular drama in the past 3 yrs. SLY daily data is mimicking human clock activity. One can easily glance whether it is dry or water.
Yunhe assigned SLY a historically low coefficient, some days as low as 0.06. But all other data tells a different story: SLY’s trend is clean, consistent, and strong. SLY data graphics go up everywhere but Yunhe. With revelation of Migu’s unsuccessful bidding with Yunhe, we know why. Douban rating—this is a place where even LYX’s fanbase, largely working professionals, didn’t bother to rate it. And people who don’t understand mock “protection fees,” where it is actually just a simple advertising fees, offered by dozens of platforms since 2022.
What’s funny is that LYX holds both Yunhe’s highest and lowest historical records. His Runyu was the only character to ever top Yunhe’s character chart for over 1100 consecutive days until it was banned (2018–2021); most don’t even hit 10% of that. His SLY now holds Yunhe’s lowest coefficient ever. If we recalculate based on actual viewership trends, SLY’s real performance is likely 5–6x higher than Yunhe’s reported figure (other drama airing the same time got 0.5-0.6 “normal Yunhe coefficient”)
