Su RongQing is Shen, from the very first episode 😱What else is there to know 🤷🏻♀️
Actually no he's not. Shen Yu Rong was being controlled by someone else. SRQ is not. He's just doing bad things all by himself because he's obsessed with a married woman.
Just keep watching, and you will see. Shen Yu Rong was a very likable villain. We all looked forward to his plans. Viewers were always excited to see how he will handle things. And what his outcome will be.
The directors knew how to balance Shen Yu Rong character pretty well. He was a pitiful person controlled by a woman, but yet he was also a schemer. So while Viewers felt slightly sorry for him, everyone wanted him to get his comeuppance.
Meanwhile in this show, the directors/producers tried SO HARD to make SRQ a pitiful character without him actually being pitiful. And as a villain, his character is very poorly written. They are giving him too much screen time. So viewers are angry and don't like his character.
(SML) - Chen He Yi in real life:In 2020, he became a volunteer supporting people who suffer from autism and other…
Lol is this supposed to make us like his character in this show??
His real life has nothing to do with the show. I don't think people hate the actor, they just don't like his character. Lol so no need to let us know he's supposedly a good person
Does anyone know, what is the reception of SRQ in China to Chinese viewers?? Are Chinese viewers frustrated with his character like us international viewers? Has this affected the ratings?
If anyone knows the answers to these questions, please let me know!
But best part is, notice how she's not contradicting him, but seems actually kind of amused? she could easily…
This reaction from her is what a lot of people have been waiting for.
She can take her time liking PWX (which is good) BUT, she doesn't have to make the whole world know that their marriage is just a "business deal" and she doesn't have to always make "puppy eyes" at SRQ. That was why a lot of people misunderstood her character and got irritated with her.
Her reaction in that scene was good. That's all viewers wanted.
Why don't you just watch it and judge for yourself. No one else think like you so if you find it unbearable, then…
Yes, he does insults PWX. And then to add salt to injury, told him what he and the Princess talked about. His goal during that scene was to make PWX insecure.
That scene PISSED OFF A LOT of us on here. So fair warning, be prepared so your blood pressure don't rise. Lol
Why don't you just watch it and judge for yourself. No one else think like you so if you find it unbearable, then…
In the earlier stages when SRQ is having conversations with his dad, don't skip those. But any conversations with his brother, or anyone else is skippable.
Cause most of the times, those convos involve how to get LR. He will be having a convo with concubine Su in ep 22( i think) don't skip that cause it's very important.
Anyways, I think as you continu watching the story, you will come to a judgment on what to skip or watch
I think the banquet scene today needed bit of explanation here cuz show cut important details,The whole premise…
I agree with you. The producers are really ruining the show. This explanation you just gave makes perfect sense and would have been so amazing to see on screen, but yet the producers ruined it because they have a hard on for SRQ character.
One thing I've noticed about this show is that after every episode, viewers who have read the book have to come online and try to explain the reason something happened. This means the producers/ directors are doing a very BAD job of retelling the story. If viewers have to explain things out for people to get it and not misunderstand, then it means production has failed terribly.
I heard one of the producers like SRQ character, that's why they are giving him so much screen time and trying to make him out like he's a ML. Meanwhile the actual ML is being treated like a SML. Sigh...
Ah, i just read that the producer likes SRQ... that explains a lot about why he is portrayed the way he is in…
Lol I knew that there was a reason SRQ was getting so much screen time.😭
The producer was probably hoping that us viewers would like him too. BUT they miscalculated on how appealing the character would come off. Viewers are PISSED.
Anyways, I wonder how all this have affected the ratings?
This dramas makers tried hard to make everyone like SRQ and root for SRQ-LR ship but instead turn him into an…
Exactly this!! If they were going to make him a villain, make him one that is exciting and viewers could root for. Not this pathetic character. It's like they didn't know what to do with his character and what angle to take, so they try to fit everything in.
Production tried too hard to make him seem like a person in love who we should root for. They try to justify all his shortcomings and brush it off as "he's in love" so they give him more screen time so viewers can sympathize with him. However the opposite is happening.
I think Production was banking on us feeling sympathy for him based on his past relationship with LR, that's why they kept showing so much of it. They want us to root for him and cheer him on. Again, the opposite is happening. Instead his character is annoying viewers. His too much screen time is annoying viewers. And unfortunately, it's LR character who is getting the brunt of people's anger bcs of SRQ. All this will unfortunately lead to the show dropping in ratings.
I don't think Production counted on this happening. They miscalculated.
I'm on ep 9 and currently having 2nd lead syndrome. I am feeling more love and adoration from the 2nd male lead…
Lol you will be the only one thinking that. Just keep watching and you will be here soon telling us about how you want to strangle the SML. You will start feeling just like everyone else is feeling.
I feel like I need to say this thing again. I started reading the book from ch 44 because I wanted to read the…
Thank you so much for breaking down the novel for those of us who haven't read it. It was amazing reading this and getting a deep dive into LR character.
I think the reason why a lot of people (sometimes myself included) are frustrated with her character's actions is because we don't really understand her character's past or what made her the way she become (other than what happened btw her and PWX in their past life.) So far the drama has done a very poor job of showing us why she's the way she is at present. And all the things that contributed to make her this way.
Though they sometimes mention how hard it is to a member of the royal family, it's usually glossed over, so a lot of people didn't pay attention to that. I think her character's reception would have been quite different if the show has taken its time to lay that foundation for her. I hope the show does this at some point. Lol though she still frustrates me, I will continue to give my girl grace and be patient like PWX 😂
I am still a little sad though that even in this life she seems to still have a thing for SRQ, cause she's always mesmerized everytime he opens his mouth. I'm still holding out hope that she will put a stop to it and draw a hard line between them!!
Hey guys, when do you think LR will stop giving SRQ hope? She becomes so starstruck and unable to say anything…
I'm glad I'm not the only one this is affecting. Because of how she's always so mesmerized with SRQ, I'm not able to enjoy her romantic scenes with PWX. Ughhhh...
This really sucks cause I've looked forward to these romantic scenes for a WHILE but now can't enjoy them😭
Episode 22 is now making me wonder who actually killed Li Rong in their past life. SRQ does not seem like he hated…
Lol I don't think most people hate him for K***ing LR in the past life. (At least I don't). His tragedy is understandable and even LR understood it and feels sorry for him, that's why she's giving him so much attention in this current life.
I think many of us are frustrated with his current actions. He is coming off as the bad guy by the things he's doing. He's now in bed with the concubine family. And that's not going to end well for him...
Me personally, I don't think anything he's doing is to protect LR. Deep down SRQ only cares about protecting his family. That's understandable, but he should leave LR alone and go about his business.
Li rong's behaviour truly irritating me ,Whenever su rongqing look at her , it feels like she is in another world.
Lol don't say that or people are going to criticize you for stating the obvious truth😭
To prevent my blood pressure from rising, I have taking to skipping each and every scene with SRQ and LR together. Lol I know the mesmerized look she will have on her face will piss me off. So for my peace of mind, I skip🤗
Me too!! I feel the same way. It might not have been their intention, but because production is giving SRQ so much screen time with LR, they are making PWX out to be a SML.
Lol so far, I am bit disappointed with his character's arc. In the beginning, I thought he was going to be this strong ML, who though is trying to make up for the past and be better, will still not lose himself completely.
But production is failing his character. There's no substance there, except to be there and support LR. Nobody gives him the respect he deserves (two episodes ago when LR told the guards that PWX would be working with them at the inspectorate office, even they had snide looks on their face) and people always have opinions about his relationship with LR. Lol it's getting tiring.
People here are simply incapable of appreciating complex characters... nobody in this novel is white and black..…
Lol what's going on?? Are you frustrated because people are labeling SRQ as a villain??
If so, I don't think it's fair to be angry at people who think that way. Based on all his actions so far, he is coming off as the villain. So of course viewers are going to make deductions.
If he indeed turns out not to be a villain, then that will be good too.
Youku-nim please do not give past live kissing and cuddling scenes in the trailers.. they are misleading for our…
Lol girl I was pissed when I waited for their cute "kissing" at the festival but only to realize it was a flashback from their past life. Ughhh Youku is raising my blood pressure 😂😂😭
Just finished. Today's episode wasn't bad. It could be better, but it wasn't bad. I enjoyed it, except for nutsack parts. Now we know for sure that mr annoying is also from the past. Lol.
I just hate that asshat is getting too much screen time with the leads. He's always an eyesore but LR always just stand there mesmerized anytime he opens his mouth. Lol. I hate that smug look on his face whenever he's talking to PWX. And because LR hasn't put a HARD STOP to his foolishness, he's now scheming on how to get her to be with him. He's so annoying.🙄 ughhh!!!
I was so excited when she told him not to worry about her relationship. But even that fell flat because after saying that, she looked like she still have a soft spot for him, so of course he's always going to be brave with his foolishness. The person that's going to end up hurt in all this is PWX. 😔
Lol now please yall don't come for me cause I know how yall love to tussle at the slightest criticism, but SRQ always interrupting PWX & LR and being there at every moment is making me not enjoy the leads "cute moments" I have waited with such anticipation for these cute scenes between the leads, but they've all fell flat so far. Sigh...
I really want to enjoy the cute moments but SRQ is always there to put a damper on things. I HATE that carriage scene so much because of the smug look he had on his face when LR wouldn't drink from the same cup as PWX. Lol though she might not realize it, actions like this is what is still giving nutsack hope. Sigh...

So yeah, while I find SRQ annoying and rude, I truly don't blame him for how he acts. In his head, he has LR "support"
I think many of us are frustrated with his current actions. He is coming off as the bad guy by the things he's doing. He's now in bed with the concubine family. And that's not going to end well for him...
