this show was so confusing bc the characters and acting were great but the plot and script is below average. xu jing fu seeking out he ru fei was the decision of an idiot. it makes no sense that he would make that choice for a dying man and then continue to side with him after he caused problem after problem. but i love the romance and the characters. it's confusing how silly half of it feels in comparison to the other half!
I think it's because Xiao Army is sort of like a private army that serves the nation, so the “Commander” title…
i asked chatgpt and this was the answer i got: Great question! The terms you’re noticing — 都督 (dūdū) and 将军 (jiāngjūn) — are both historical Chinese military titles, but they aren’t the same rank.
将军 (Jiāngjūn) • Literally “general.” • A military officer rank, usually in direct command of troops on the battlefield. • There were many different types of 将军 (e.g., 骠骑将军, 镇国将军), each with different prestige depending on the dynasty. • In dramas, when someone is called “General ___,” it usually means they’re a field commander or high-ranking officer.
都督 (Dūdū) • Literally “commander-in-chief” or “military governor.” • A higher-level appointment than 将军, usually given regional or theater-wide control. • A 都督 could oversee multiple generals and entire provinces, not just one army. • The role was both military and administrative — almost like a governor-general.
Which outranks which? • 都督 (dūdū) is generally higher than 将军 (jiāngjūn). • A 将军 would often serve under a 都督’s larger command structure. • So if Xiao Jue is 都督 and He Yan or others are 将军, it means Xiao Jue is the overall commander, while the generals are his subordinates.
👉 In short: General (将军) = battlefield commander. Commander/都督 = regional or supreme commander with generals under them.
can anyone tell me what the difference between his title of commander and her title of general is? it's the first time i've ever heard his title before in a drama.
ya'll is there male pregnancy in this drama? i need to mentally prepare myself if this is truly a full blown live action omegaverse 😂 i'm kinda scared. some things are meant to stay fiction haha
yu mo lying about the horn. to the end he never lets her know a single word of his feelings. if he never tells her at all my heart.... this sweet boy deserves the world and he never thinks of himself for even a moment.
I just have to say there’s nothing more infuriating to me than when these dramas have the leads riding out into war without armor or helmets just so they look hot. it just looks ridiculous. this was going so well for me until that ridiculous battle with the two of them riding out looking all types of irresponsible and stupid.
It makes zero sense that after Ying Yuan is exposed for loving Yan Dan, that he doesn't use the evidence he saved against Ying Deng to expose her crimes and exonerate Yan Dan. He only agreed to keep it a secret because she threatened to expose his love for Yan Dan. I still have no idea why he didn't cast out that bitch immediately. Would have saved everyone trouble. Just for Zhi Xi? At the cost of Yan Dan's life? Does not compute.
she's so smart. she's removing all the avenues they have to profit off of her. i'm sure her official weibo is used by the agency for profit. she's cutting off their revenue streams so she has legal leverage. i hope that the community there protects her. i know her fans will, but i hope other actors step up. good for lusi.
I am on episode 5 can someone tell me when they explain why she was late to save his father at the beginning ? did I miss when they explained it or have they just not told us yet? I have skimmed a bit at the very beginning
