I agree, censorship armed the entire drama. The second season was the outcome of the plot points. Did they have enough money to do it right? I don't know. Reality is that the first season was more intriging than the second one.
Yes, you are right, they did not treat XL well in the drama. They cut a lot of his story. Would it be because of money shortage, due to censorship ???? ( they could not sell the episodes as expected, to get return on their investment ) I don't know.
However, with just 7% (S1) + 14% (S2) screentime, XL is still an outstanding character.
Honestly the censorship update is not sudden. Some people have pointed out that the 40 ep max limit was in 2020.…
I repeat : stop spreading misinformations.
How the drama was aired has nothing to do with my opinion. It is just a fact. If you refuse to listen to regulations or updates and you refuse to acknowledge what your eyes see. I am sorry. I don't base my understanding on conjectures.

@SoTreeD As I stated earlier, thoses are facts from the drama. They are rock solid. This is not about my opinion. I don't base my understanding on conjectures or hypothesis. XL love for XY is selfless.
So I repeat, please stop spreading misinformations.

@SoTreeD As en exemple. TTEOTM and LYF aired the same year 2023.
TTEOTM took a 3 years process to be made. TTEOTM featured originally 54 episodes. Yes, the censorship was already in application before the airing but the production company had the possibility to sell the first season of 40 episodes max and the remaining episodes subsequently ( 14 episodes).
But then the update was put in place to forbid subsequent airing of remaining episodes. Therefore, production companies had to wait 1 year before airing the remaining episodes.
As a result, TTEOTM's production company chose to cut 14 episodes and merge then into 40 by extending each episode's duration by maximum 54 minutes.
This could have happenned to LYF but the production team chose to abide the law. So, they aired 2 seasons with 1 year gap.
So yes, the update of the regulation was sudden and it impacted the drama.
@SoTreeD I don't agree : episode 17 (When Xiang Liu is transformed into a woman on a boat sitting next to Xiao Yao. )
XL to XY : " If you are not happy, the people around you ...He...They will not be happy".
All XL did was for XY to be happy because he was in love with her. It is selfless love. He took the time and spent his energy to save TSJ for XY to be happy. It is selfless love.
I dropped it at 2 episode but I'm thinking about giving it a try again. Why it takes FL and ML so long to be together?…
FL is scared of being rejected because of the fake marriage contract. And ML is ashamed of stealing his brother's bride because he loves his brother. Moreover, I don't know if you remember ML and SML's stepbrothers and stepsisters? They also set traps to stop this wedding from happenning.
Yes, it is unfortunate that they cut all the scenes where XL looks for TSJ. He makes sure that he is healed and that TSJ can be brough back to XY. They cut scenes that show his selfless love for XY. I would have loved to watch all that.
