Now I watch Immortal Samsara before this, so I find Xuan Ye/Ran Jing's love story quite similar. I'd want to give…
LCY was 17 at the time he committed the massacre so he must have toughened up at a very young age.
This shows that he had had a tough time growing up in the palace knowing that the Empress killed his birth mother and his brothers trying to kill him after he became the Crown Prince.
I’ve always wondered if one of the reasons why Xiao Feng is so memorable is because her story is so heartbreaking.…
No, LCY actually loved XF from his heart. He sneaked into her palace in Western Ling to see her in person because he said to Pei Zhao that he wished to see how she looked like after all he was going to marry her one day.
He was stunned by the princess' beauty. When he returned to the army camp, he recalled the bathroom scene which made his ears turning red. He was only 17 at that time.
He was worried XF would not speak to him after he accidentally killed her gerbil and his desperation to win her over shows that he truly loved XF.
When they jumped into the river, he actually said he wished to forget everything with her. He actually regretted his actions but he had to achieve what his destiny required from him ie. to make the Li Empire safer from the Turks.
Even after thirty years following the death of XF, he had never forgotten her and in the end, he chose to jump into his death at the same spot where XF committed suicide by stabbing her heart.

LCY is a cold blooded killer. The murder of the enemy who killed his friend is a statement of LCY's character ie. he uses whatever means he sees fit to achieve his objectives.
But, he is a human after all. He fell in love in XF and even in his amnesia, he can never forget the scene he first time saw XF. Peeping Tom.
His love for XF is deeply embedded in his subconscious.
So sad they dubbed Chen Xingxu. Still, gorgeously made drama that ripped me to shreds.
CXX's real voice is too deep for his character.
He was only 23 when he starred in this series. But, his acting was brilliant for a young actor. Although his character in the drama is completely different from the book.
I prefer LCY in the book as he is portrayed to be a young and carefree man who falls in love for the first time with XF and enjoys a temporary carefree life in Western Liang with the woman he loves until he carries out the masscre of the tribe.
I hope there will be a remake and the storyline follows exactly what is in the book. That will be hard to make but LCY's character has to be as ruthless as it can be in order to bring the character out of the novel into the drama.
LCY's character in the drama is just a tip on the iceberg compared to the one in the book.
Even XF in the book could never forgive him for what he had done to her family.
I can't think of a current actor who can act LCY's character except Huang Xiao Ming and Luo Jin, Hu Ge and Wang Kang . But, they are already past their prime.
Arthur Chen is a possible candidate. And, of course, Chen Xing Xu again. I personally would love to have CXX play this character if there is ever a remake.
Their love story is so haunting. I think she really loved his true self that we see more with GXW. It creeps in,…
The scene on the bridge is the most tragic scene. It depicts the story of the tragic couple , The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, from the Chinese folklore.

Agree. I tried to watch it in the winter 2019 but never finished it off. I only recently completed the entire series and loved it so much until I read the novel in English.
Cried my eyes out after reading the novel from Pei Zhao's perspectives part of the five side stories.
Zhao Se Se's story is another tragic one. She was treated by LCY as if she was worth nothing to him.
LCY's character in the book is very pragmatic and decisive when it comes to removing his enemies from the court. However, he is never destined to be together with XF who is too simple minded and innocent from the brutal imperial court.
XF was never raised to be a queen/ diplomat by her parents. She was forced into the heqin practice.
So, XF is doomed from the moment she is captured alive and sent to the Li Empire.

The novel is actually is better than the tv series.
LCY's character in the novel is a cold blooded killer and is way too cruel for XF to accept him as her life partner.
That's why she chooses death than life so that she can avenge for the massacre that LCY inflicted on her grandfather's tribe.
She got what she wanted: LCY lived for another thirty years following XF's death but his heart died with XF.
LCY had actually allowed XF's body to return to Western Liang following her death. Following the death of his daughter, LCY committed suicide by jumping off the wall where XF had jumped 30 years ago.
He is an excellent actor not to be wasting his time filming pop drama.

His father was even ruthless than he was.
