I think it's also worth considering that he does know LR cares for him but she's too stubborn and proud to admit it, considering their history. He is trying to get her to face up to her feelings by pushing the subject of SRQ in her face. He just didn't expect that she would counter by saying she'll try to set him up with QZZ as well, which will then lead to the breakthrough tomorrow.

Yeah but they get people hyped from bts and then disappoint them with what’s actually shown onscreen lol

It's not really a full on confession. It's more like venting frustrations. The real confession comes later.

Youku has been known to cut down long detailed kiss scenes before 😭

His popularity did start rising a lot more after SOKP. His followers on Weibo were around the low 7 millions before SOKP aired and he is now currently at 9.6 millions.

In China there are data results updated daily for comparison as fans are super competitive. Stars' data comparisons are compiled based on their age groups and the best measure is to view their stats on various major domestic social media platforms rather than only Weibo. Here is the latest cummulative data chart posted in early May of this year for popular actors born in the years 95-99. (GJ, YY, XZ, CY are in in a different age bracket hence why they're not part of this list. I don't follow them so I don't have that info. Since you mentioned them in comparison, I'd like to point out that they've also been active for longer than he has. So they should be placed on their own level.)

ZLH ranked in the top 5 group in 3 out of the 5 platforms. (These are what's shown in the image from May that I'm putting here for convenience.)
☘ Top 5 Weibo's Super Topic Check-ins: 119K+ (These are people who takes the time to go to his super topic every day and sign in. This fluctuates based on how busy people are in their daily lives and if they remember to go sign in. During SOKP it reached a high of 180K+. As of yesterday it was 142K+ and rising daily.
🌟 Top 8 hashtag views on Douyin(China's Tiktok): 19.44 billions (up by 0.97 billion)
☘ Top 5 hashtag views on Xiaohongshu(Brands currently love this as it generates the most real sales from posts): 2.46 billions (up 0.12 billion)
🌟 Top 11 hashtag views on Kuaishou: 2.69 billions (up 0.08 billion)
☘ Top 5 average Wechat index for the year: 27.5 millions
*Numbers will also have major increase during an actor's period of drama airing, especially if it's popular.

His following domestically is much bigger than his international following. Considering the amount of time since his debut, we are proud of his accomplishments so far. And since you asked, I tried my best to show it for you.

Putting my reply under spoiler tag since it's kind of long.

Ur welcome :)

If you want to help with the rating, please go rate it by each episode you've watched. Also, you must make the star selection within the "Write a review" screen and then select submit. Otherwise, the rating won't save and it'll be as if you never rated.

I noticed this is what always happens whenever a new Cdrama is aired. Never go with the first day's rating. It seems like MDL's system recalculates so by the second day ratings always plummet. This happens to every drama on here. It'll go back up when more people start rating after watching.

Nice sum up👍 I would watch based on this if I was a watcher looking for recs :)

If you mean greasy in that in some shots his skin looks shiny, then yes I would agree and think that the makeup artist didn't pay enough attention to this and oil-blotted him properly during shooting (it still doesn't diminish his looks any though.) Same thing happens to ZJM's skin as well in some of her shots. But if you mean greasy as in the character's vibe then I don't see that at all.

ur welcome

There is a lot of subplots revolving around the politics that will keep the story flowing for 40 eps without drag if the screenwriter continues to stick to the novel. You will get to see a lot more of how the leads continue to communicate and work together to become a power couple while falling in love. And the best part is that they never stop trolling each other.

Are you calling him “Pie” because he’s yummy? 😜

This wasn't air dropped. Promotions have been going on for almost a month and was amped up the closer it got to premiere so followers already knew it was coming soon. An air date was announced ahead of premiere time. Air dropped dramas are ones that show up unexpectedly where fans don't even know that it was coming, like MJTY.

I think you mean June hehe

A small snippet from scenes that were leaked in the first episode. You can practically hear Pei Wenxuan's heart breaking 😭 ZLH continues to improve his acting with every new role.

Seems like they rushed this media conference since neither of the leads could find it in their schedule to attend. Looking more and more likely that it’ll premiere this week.

that’s why I said less, not none 😂but yes, I like your way of thinking 🤣

The fact that they're sharing airing rights with Mango on this means they don't care about it so I gave up on them already lol. This drama has been absurdly low key, but I don't mind it that much. Less focus means less trolling from the yxh accounts if it isn't a hit. Maybe it's my zlh filter, but I somehow have a good feeling about this drama. Even though production quality doesn't look great, I think the script and acting will make up for the rest.
