its more or less confirmed now, his new drama with yz. does anyone have updates about the whole story and his…
β’ Synopsis:
After taking office as the magistrate of Chun'an County, the young champion Lu Jiang Lai repeatedly solved strange cases, but he was involved in an old case of murdering his wife, which caused him to fall from a rising star in the officialdom to a desperate situation. When he was on the verge of death, he was fortunately rescued by Rong Shan Bao, the daughter of the tea king. The arrogant Lu Jiang Lai had once fought for power with the powerful Rong family, which led to Shan Bao's deliberate revenge.
Taking advantage of his serious injury and amnesia, and his identity being a mystery, he was taken home and demoted to the lowest groom. In order to avoid being hunted down, Lu Jiang Lai made the best of a mistake and pretended to obey. When the Rong family announced that they would recruit a son-in-law, it triggered a competition among the prominent families in Jiangnan, each with their own ulterior motives. Lu Jiang Lai was accidentally involved in it and, by mistake, became a chess piece in the game between Shan Bao and everyone else.
β’ Character Setting:
The male protagonist is called Lu Jiang Lai. When he was a child, he worked as a book boy in a wealthy family. He suffered from bullying and passed the imperial examination. After that, everyone who had harmed him either disappeared or was suddenly killed, but it was always a mystery whether he did it or not. He was assassinated because he intervened in an old case and offended the powerful. After losing his memory, he was rescued by Rong Shan Bao, the head of the female family, and became her personal servant. There are too many men who want to marry Rong Shanbao, but he doesn't want to. He has ten thousand ways to make every man who covets Rong Shan Bao come with excitement and return with disappointment. When the truth gradually surfaces, when memories come like a tide, when his life experience gradually becomes clear, does he choose to be a behind-the-scenes man in the female family, or treat everything as a dream and return to the original world? Unprecedented, tea-like male protagonist, gender-reversed version of Wei Ying Luo (The FL of Story of Yanxi Palace), very ambitious, little wolf dog showing fangs from time to time.
β’ Yu Zheng added another brief summary of Lu Jiang Lai's character:
The vengeful green tea boy, who rose from a book boy to the top of the imperial examination and became an official with his perseverance and indomitable spirit, appears to be smooth and has high emotional intelligence, but is vicious and cruel at heart.
β’ Green tea means a person pretending to be innocent and kind but is in fact manipulative and calculating.
Wdym by this. Do you mean the "unknown-type-of-underrated" or "deserve-more-than-this-type-of-underrated". I will…
I observed the ιι₯ production team don't like that much spoilers flying around before it even aired that's why it's quiet. But I agree that can they give a lil treat because I'm starving for Hong Ye materials atp.
So underrated!π₯ΊI hope love in clouds makes him bigger!!!
Wdym by this. Do you mean the "unknown-type-of-underrated" or "deserve-more-than-this-type-of-underrated". I will agree if it's the latter. The capitalists behind always use him to promote their artists for their own selfish gains without a care in messing up the storyline of the drama. After FoF aired, his business endorsements kept coming and popularity soared. With Diamond 1 level in supertopic, 9999+loyal fans in every posts etc. He's booked and busy, There are many curious or jealous individuals in douban asking how he gained many active fans etc. etc and what's the secret lmaoooo. His next drama, though the producer is an insufferable piece of prick, he's got a knack in producing. IMHO, I have more confidence on "ιι₯" than LITC considering their parade of crappy materials last 10th. But ofc, I want to be proven wrong that they can do better. Waiting for LITC's redemption arc.
Yes, Fortune Writer and An Ancient Love Song are one of those dramas that I find on par with long length dramas. It's because they have THE plot that can be taken seriously and was guided by a capable director. And yes, the director of An Ancient Love Song is Zi Zhu and she's also the director for Love in The Clouds.
Thanks for your insights as the watcher who finished watching it. I watched up to ep 10 last year and I was intrigued because for a short drama the quality is indeed good and well made.
π’ Yu Zheng revealed last Jan 11th on who will be the director of YMCG.
YZ: "I want to be more creative. The director I'm using this time is a top short drama director, so there should be more innovation."
He revealed that it is Zhang Zhi Wei, the director of "Fortune Writer". The drama was a popular short drama last year. It has 7.5 score in Douban. We know how nasty and malicious douban peeps can be and since the actors starring here don't have that high following with massive haters, this 7.5 rating lies more on the non malicious side of how douban works. The director was able to grasp the rhythm of the plot and has good aesthetic shots.
I browsed c-π₯s feedback from this news and it's well received in their stead.
Her ability to control long length dramas will understandably arouse some doubts but I think this director will take this task seriously and attentively because this is a golden opportunity to promote herself.

I copy pasted this from my post before.
I hope ιι₯ have a strong plot and script with excellent grasp of direction.
