I have to show this drama some love. Most enjoyable historical for me since Lost You Forever.
I needed the village scenes to connect to their romance. It also has the right balance between politics, action and romance.
After the bit of sweetness I’m not ready for the angst!

Hide SpoilerThat's what I didn't want either: I didn't want most of the drama to be just pain, distrust and anguish, or for this sweetness to come only in the last second of the drama. I know that the anguish will come, and that's why I loved the moments of sweetness and true carefree romance between them.

I have read the novel.(I would say skimmed through it) .
Although I have not started watching the drama properly yet but I have watched some clips and noticed they have made huge changes (positive changes).
Because I couldn't control my anger reading the novel but I can tolerate the drama and its interesting as well.
The novel basically starts with MJH forcing himself upon ML (mei lin).
And the start itself made me sick (not joking).
It was dreadful and sickening.
Thankfully the drama didn't start like that(as far as I remember)
In the novel MJH always despises ML ,calls her 'slave' and other disgusting names ,not only that to please luomei always hurts her.
Besides ,he always questions himself that how could he love ML ,he should love luomei as she had saved him once.(Irony-ML(mei lin) saves him countless times).
That's clearly not the case with the drama(that I liked the most).
Marries her off to his subordinate(no idea how they are gonna do this in the drama but I don't think that's gonna happen here)
Even slaps her a couple of times(once just because he was angry and once to show luomei).
In a nutshell,the novel depicted ML on a weaker side while In the drama Mei lin is really strong.
I just want the end to be like the novel(he becomes the emperor,marries her when she wakes up).
Everyone feel free to share what you think about the above mentioned.

Hide SpoilerI don't like the deplorable attitudes of the male protagonist in the book, nor do I like some of the female protagonist's. But I like the general meaning of the story, I think I understand the true meaning that the female writer wanted to convey with her novel. In the book, Mei Lin really likes flowers, there are many passages throughout the book where she mentions flowers. In the book, the male protagonist was written to, despite all his deplorable attitudes, learn from his own humiliation and total dependence on her (his own life in her hands), to learn to respect her, to stop calling her a slave, to admire her, to see the beauty in her that he has not seen in any woman. And when he thinks that she is dead, all that hardness of his completely falls away, and he chooses her above all else. And the significant moment with the flowers at the end, he appreciates them together with her (this has a very strong meaning). It's as if he really had his past, or had done it, gone away, and now he would be that man that Mei Lin deserved and that he wanted to be, to live together with her, with no concubines, having her as his legitimate empress.

In the face of netizens praising the "super CP physique", Wu Jinyan responded modestly: "The first is the character plot, the second is the expression and cooperation of the actors, and the efforts of other people!" "It's so gentle and cute~[笑哈哈]Liu Xueyi said: "CP sense is sometimes metaphysics! "I can see that the net feels good ?

I'm really laughing at me, who would have thought that Wu Jinyan would praise Liu Xueyi in an interview for being bald in a dream, and bluntly said that it was a shame to film emotional scenes with him!
But then again, the performance of the two in "Spring Flower Flame" is really sparkling!
There is a wet bath kiss that makes people blush and heartbeat, and then there is the ear biting kiss full of ambiguous atmosphere, and the affectionate riverside kiss after yesterday's exchange of hearts.
I think that Liu Xueyi played Wuxin in "Youth Song Xing", dressed in a white robe, with an arrogant temperament, and a sense of abstinence is also paved. As a result, as soon as the spring flower flame arrived, he turned into a black-bellied crazy critic of the prince Murong Jinghe, who was sexy and sickly, and would be coquettish from time to time.
From using Meilin as a chess piece, to having a good impression of Meilin and starting to fake it, to the peaceful farming copy of the years, and Meilin's emotions are also one after another, and I can see my old face yellow.
Substituting Murong Jing and Vision into unintentional, this sense of contrast, no wonder Wu Jinyan would say "I'm sorry for offending" to the camera in the interview! #春花焰#

This drama is too much.
Let me tell you, when MJH came in on that horse. I was screaming, rewound that back. Didn't he look good? Dropped that mask. Saw that smirk and those dimples! Hell yeah. You would have thought someone smacked CP. He probably thought he was seeing a ghost. And it surely wasn't Casper. What an epic moment! But was he done, no, shout out to his girl, Mei Lin told her to come on up on his horse. Rode out like the duo they were. Deuces!
Ok, now I'm not believing LM. Not feeling that, "you were always in my heart moment." Girl is playing him, HARD! She still loves our boy MJH. That kind of burning love she has for that man is not changing overnight. Girlfriend's eyes lit up like the 4th of July fireworks when she saw him. You know, I definitely would have jetted after MJH. Screaming his name when I saw that fine ass riding in. Yeah, hand would have dropped with a quickness. See ya CP. My real man is back. But I have to say, I do believe CP loves LM. He is just so twisted.
Stop messing with Daddy Emperor! He is the best emperor ever. Loves both sons but he knows how they both can be. He is all chilled out with ZG. And speaking of ZG, she is working my nerves. I know she is going to work them more because she is going to interfere with MJH and ML. Stay in your lane girlfriend. You know she is trying to get her to stay at her crib. But now that YQ spurn the tale of all tales about the moon god, Daddy Emperor is going to give up our girl ML. Which we know isn't going to go down.
Previews are stressing me. I forgot that she is supposed to die in a year, right? Get the damn cure. Hell call up my girl XYZ from "Snowy Night Timeless Love" and have her heal her. She healed everything in that drama. My girl cannot, I repeat cannot die. I am over these sad endings.

Hide SpoilerIn the book there is a cure for both of them (it's in the jade flower), a red flower that appears on Murong Jing's hat in some photos, and on Mei Lin's hat in another photo. (but in the drama he called it a dragon flower?).

Yesterday at 23:00 from the TV series Spring Flower Flame Super Talk edited
#刘学义回应三界第一美人称号# When asked if he knew that he had the title of "the first beauty in the Three Realms", Liu Xueyi smiled and joked that he was a beauty a few years ago, and now he is an old beauty. When Wu Jinyan mentioned Murong Jinghe in the play, the two even laughed and called this the "flannel prince"
#吴谨言回应cp体质# Meilin played by Wu Jinyan and Murong Jing played by Liu Xueyi became attached to each other because of hatred, and the complex and top-notch relationship made the audience addicted! In the face of the heated discussion of CP physique, Wu Jinyan modestly responded that the character plot and the tacit understanding of the actors are the key, including the efforts of the lighting, the director, and everyone ?? in the later stage, Liu Xueyi also ridiculed: "It is said on the Internet that the sense of CP is metaphysics!" ”
14 minutes full interview ?? Web Links , this issue of "Take It Away, Big Star" is a lot of excitement, and there are benefits in the comment area~#刘学义说cp感是玄学#Weibo video of the fox factory's

Even with new previews for next episodes, I just don't feel the excitement anymore ?

I'm going to mildly push back on what you said about the FL. I think you've misunderstood her core character/personality. And who she is as a person. I will come back to that later.
Firstly, we know Mei Lin is an assassin. But she's an assassin with one goal and one goal only: Assassinate MRJ and avenge her people. She trained for 10 years just for this. We never hear about her assassinating anyone else. She only had one goal. Kill MRJ.
Secondly: She came to fulfill her goal and get revenge. But on this journey, she found proof that MRJ is not the killer of her people. As an assassin, her goal changed: join hands with MRJ, find the real killer and avenge her people. She is doing that currently.
Thirdly: She is currently on her mission for revenge. Yes, she fell in love on the way, but that doesn't mean she gave up revenge. Every steps her and MRJ are taking is for their ultimate revenge.
Back to why I think you've misunderstood her core character: yes, Mei Lin is an assassin. But from episode one, we've also been shown that she's a soft soul. When not being an assassin (or protecting people), she's a very simple person who dreams of a good simple life for herself. Even in her interactions with others, you can see how easy going, straightforward and simple she is. She smiles easily, and enjoys friendships. She cherish those close to her.
Her goal has always been revenge and living a simple life afterwards. Her character has not strayed from her core personality introduced since episode 1. Her character has been consistent. So her falling in love does not mean she's not a "bad azz assassin" anymore.
The Mei Lin you are seeing right now is the Mei Lin she's always been. It's just that, that side of hers was sometimes hidden because she had to shoulder everything herself. Now she doesn't have to because she has someone else to help her with her revenge. So we are seeing her true self (soft soul) more and more. She is a well rounded character.
As for MRJ... lol l agree with you... let's just hope he has a better plan than what we are seeing??
- Hide Spoiler
What I would like to see is her stabbing him and him being heartbroken for peak angst. But from what we saw in some trailers for the show, he's the one who is mean and she's the one heartbroken.
She’s not behaving like a trained assassin at all, so, I think she’ll understand and forgive. They might try to dramatize it.
Remember the story of the dog, and what ML said about her after hearing it?
I actually am fine with both Yue Qin and Zigu. I think they will end up doing the right thing and help the main CP when the rubber meets the road. In their shoes, they need allies anywhere they can find them. And while Yue Qin's affection is misplaced, until she is married, the FL is fair game. I like to see a worthy rival for the girl and not just some simple farm boy. May the best man win. The real issue at this point is the Jinghe has been less than honest with her on one big thing and (drum roll) he actually freaking poisoned her!!! I am still in his camp but I am A-ok with him sweating it out a little bit over the fact that the FL actually has a real choice. And it raises the stakes for him to make her his queen bc that is also what Yue Qin is prepared to offer.

When Liu Xue Yi steps into the role of dark characters, his voice is a standout feature: distinctive and captivating. Its timbre is evil yet irresistibly alluring, with a mesmerizing quality that feels both velvet smooth and venomous. He masterfully blends charismatic darkness with seductively sinister tones, making his voice enticing and menacing at once. There's a hypnotic malevolence to it—a voice so compelling, it makes you forget he's portraying a dark character. I can't think of anyone else who brings such a unique sound to these roles.

Hide SpoilerAh good point - it's too early. He has not reclaimed their honor yet.
Just saw an interview (trying to get a link to post) where Wu Jinyan said her strongest impression of Liu Xueyi was as Wu Xin (the monk in The Blood of Youth) and when they first filmed CP scenes, she felt ashamed and apologised for violating the shi1 zhu3. As filming went on, she realised how different LXY is as a person and opined that it must have been very tough acting as Wu Xin. It was hilarious!
What is “shi1 zhu3”?
it’s typically how monks address devotees; I think she mixed it up and addressed LXY (as Wu Xin) as that :)
She wrote it as pinyin with intonation numbers.
@TaliaToo It is 施主; it is how monks address their benefactors / devotees.
@PeachBlossomGoddess Yes, I know. I was trying to explain to nolatoo the numbers.
