Is his character a general???? I didn't know. He asked to play a general.
Spoiler!!!
I haven't read kill me love me, I just listened to the radio drama (around the few chps near the end) years ago so I know ml treated fl like shit and then when she faked her death he was carryiing her corpse and she later became his queen. Which the drama changed a lot. You can give Against the Current novel a try, it was an easy read for me. I skipped like 100 chps in the beginning bc I was more interested when fl and ml met, I basically started when she was forced to be his concubine (not even Concubine, her station/status was even less than).
Most chinese netizens that are fans of the novel said the beginning was slow but the later half was very good that they couldn't stop. I read the English version so ofc I don't know how beautifully eloquent the novel is written. I read comments that ml is an asshole and if it weren't for the author's beautiful writing he would've been a red flag. I generally like reading ml being obsessed with fls haha, how he's so protective of her and doesn't let anyone scorn or riducule her (which is how ml is ot fl). I only thing that was a bit hard to swallow was how he basically forced himself on her bc she wasn't willing to marry him, she only did it for the sake of saving her dad. He also slapped her, so he was physically and verbally assaulted her. He's also a horny dog all the time, and has many concubines or maids and goes to brothels. He's no innocent man, but he's just and fair. The aurhor depicts ml as very clear minded, he knows the maids or concubines strategize to gain his favour and doesn't really love him. He uses them when he fancies for entertainment, stress relieve so he didn't know what love was until he met fl. Granted he liked her for her looks and it was all sexual on his side, but he slowly admired her qualities and eventually tried his hardest to pave the way so that his family and society would accept her as his main wife. He basically became a love puppy to her, and she seldom expresses her feelings to him. The plot isn't too exciting, so I am very intriqued how the screen writer will change this and spice it up. I know there will have to be major changes to ml in order for viewers to accept him.

I’m sure they will. Or else I don’t think any actor would take that role. The The picture of the mail in the novel can be acceptable because of how the novel is written I’ve read many comments from readers that the author uses really beautiful words and phrases. But sometimes to put it on live action may not be as socially acceptable as what it is in the book. So definitely there will be some major changes, I have confidence in the scriptwriter because it’s Tonghua

From the novel I read, he doesn’t go to war. There’s one battle/ fight scene where he was kind of ambushed. It shows more of him going to the brothel and his courtyard so perhaps writers will change it up to make it more interesting
This drama is getting attention because of the supporting characters' name😆High ranking trending search :https://m.weibo.cn/search?containerid=231522type%3D1%26t%3D10%26q%3D%23%E5%A4%A7%E4%B8%BD%E5%B0%8F%E5%B9%82%23&extparam=%23%E5%A4%A7%E4%B8%BD%E5%B0%8F%E5%B9%82%23&luicode=20000174&lfid=5158738483220515Don't…
"Dali and Xiao Mi" is a recent controversy on the Internet caused by the naming of characters in the TV series "Xiao Yao". The drama is starred by Tan Songyun and Hou Minghao. The supporting character "Dali" is set as a "narcissistic and inferior girl" flower demon, and "Xiao Mi" is a "tsundere and poisonous" cat demon who shares a body with "Xiao Ming". Because "Dali" and "Xiao Mi" are considered by some netizens to be allusions to actresses Zhao Liying (nicknamed "Li") and Yang Mi (nicknamed "Mi"), especially the comparison between "big" and "small", fans of both sides have started arguing about their status and achievements….. this is the most stupidest thing. Netizen find the most smallest thing and associated with anything to make it news
Guys, we are all disappointed with no trailer, but think of the big picture! It's this director's first time directing fantasy, and ss's first time doing fantasy, and an original script. So, perhaps they want to keep it mysterious and to not spoil everything. Perhaps one scene could spoil the fun of all? I'm trying to gaslight myself here and hope it's working for others.
Also, that's quick for mdl to change the correct and updated english name, so props for that at least.
Titled "The Unclouded Soul" according to official iQ Instagram post of April 23, 2025.https://www.instagram.com/p/DIyfuXoJ7vh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
I don't hate it, it kind of seems fitting since I think their souls or something travel in time? But, I wouldn't mind The Legend of Xiao Yao, just bc it fits the chinese name
I’m sooo annoyed. During iqiyi conference, cy’s drama had an MV so it was over 2mins long for the presentation. Bailu and Joseph even had both actors present and yuzheng there to promote, and there’s xy with the presenter fumbling with her 26 sec intro for the presentation. Ugh 😑
I’m quite annoyed of ss’ studio. Even hmh’s Studio posted more individual posters, and a photo shoot video of his Dressing but ss’ Studio did not post anything
