Happy Birthday Qing! I'm really enjoying your performance in 'The Immortal Ascension' right now, though sad that Ms. Mo is suffering unrequited love with Han Li. I'm looking forward to all your future roles! 🥂 🌺
Watching her livestream this morning has me simply in awe (again- it’s certainly not the first time). Our “Chengdu girl” is indeed candid, open, totally honest- REAL in other words. So classy. She makes it clear that all of us- her fans- are extremely important to her.
For her to say to us "Don't worry about me"; and that she is very concerned that we will be hurt by people "stirring up trouble" out there speaks volumes about her love for her fans.
Of course, we all just hope that she can get rid of her enormous burden (i.e. GCE and all the legal tricks they may be planning) and resume her acting and singing career unhindered.
Like she said several times today: "What's right is right, what's wrong is wrong."

Zi Xin is so incredibly talented! I'm watching TDHR right now and just completed that story arc. Her performance was beyond amazing-very memorable. I'd daresay there's no type of character she can't play; and that very well. Whatever they may be, I'm looking forward to them all.
Found this series just last night. At Ep. 9 now, and am blown away by how excellent this drama is! Temporarily dropping two others just to binge this all the way through. I already knew Cristy Guo was great based on her performance in FSMRMP, but in this she carries an extra- powerful presence. The other actors are fantastic as well; and Yang Fu Yu is especially adorable in this. 💯🥂
I've been watching this and The Princess's Gambit simultaneously, and almost giving myself dejavu at times. The same actor (Zhang Zheng Yang) is playing the Emperor in both shows, lol. Both are pretty cranky rulers, too. 😠
Anyway, I'm a longtime fan of Meng Ziyi, and now have added Li Yitong to my favorite actresses list. She is incredible! Not sure how I've missed her over the years, and will have to go back now and watch some of her earlier work. Liu Yu Ning is top notch as always. Both series are excellent, imo.
I'm basically discovering LYT for the first time too, and am totally into her now. Odd how you can keep missing one of the most well known actors or actresses for so long, then you regret not watching their dramas much sooner. I came into ADWAD and 'met' LYT after seeing a few "she's like BL" comments here and there, and even some YT videos milking the comparison hype for all they're worth. But by the end of the first episode of ADWAD, LYT totally dispelled that notion. She 's not imitating anyone. Her timing is perfect; her lines being delivered with her own unique flair, and her expressions are lively and spot on for each scene. LYT is a delightful, lovely actress. Cheers! 🥂
Meng Zi Yi's MDL Flower ranking is now #148! This is up 7 places from #155 with only a few hundred flowers added,…
I'm totally with you on that- and appreciate you and others who stand by her. And it's very possible she will rise to be in the top 100 not too far in the future. I'll certainly keep doing my part (and happily so) to help that happen.
Meng Ziyi, if you happen to stumble onto this thread one day and see some less than complimentary comments below; by all means, you just keep right on making full use of those big, gorgeous eyes. The Director seems fine with them; and is obviously the one emphasizing their beauty; and your fans certainly aren't complaining. I'm really into Princess's Gambit right now too- ready for the next episode!
(Update to my previous comments): I just watched that interview where she explains that she was once rejected for a role because she was considered "too pretty" to play that particular character. To be clear, my first comments (above) were a reaction to some comments below that implied that all she does is rely on her looks, which is ridiculous. Of course she can act, and very well at that! I think she has matured into a wonderful, talented, well-rounded actress over the years, worthy of respect and admiration as both a beauty and excellent actor. 'Nuff said on my part.
Delighted that Wan Peng is in Love's Ambition with Lusi! Hoping it airs sooner rather than later...I love and admire both Rosy and Peng very much, and am looking forward to this immensely.

Re: several threads below...I've been trying for a couple weeks to see if Lusi's contract was really terminated with Galaxy Cool Entertainment, but have mostly been seeing unverified rumors as well. As yet, there appears to be no firm report posted by GCE or Rosy. Today however, while searching using Chinese instead of English, I did find a Jun 19 article on Sohu that mentions it in a rather matter of fact way.:
The article mentions some circumstantial evidence of such, but I'm still not 100% satisfied that it's a done deal. We'll have to wait for some official announcement I think.
As much as everything else wonderful about her, I really love the sound of her voice when she's just talking, like reading her birthday cards in this vlog post.
I hope your whole day was filled with much happiness, Jie! 😊🥂💯❤️
After watching the first episode, I wasn't sure where this was going or if I'd stick around (mainly because the ML kept passing out when FL cries, and I worried that they would overuse that).
Well, I'm now on Ep. 9 and can say it's getting better and better as it goes (not that it was bad starting off, just a bit strange). More characters are coming in almost every episode, keeping it lively and giving us twists and turns. And of course, I've always really liked both Nana and Jeremy.
Xia Nan being in this is a bonus for me, because she can play any type of character with total ease. And she's uniquely beautiful...so yes- thumbs up for this series!
The reaction to scandals of only one actor/actress always seems a tad extreme, no? It's like how in many dramas, the entire family and all the servants would be executed by the Emporer for the crimes of one family member. Everyone loses.
I assume none of the actors and crew get paid in full for all their hard work until a series airs, but I could be wrong. Will need to research that later.
Anyway, I hope 'Light My Way" gets the green light soon so we can enjoy Wan Peng's and the others' efforts.
Absolutely I agree with xue er on Nana! Saw her first in 'Snowfall' and thought she was remarkably talented, lovely and sweet. I found a You Tube short earlier today; a promo she did for Chaumet three years ago, and she is breathtakingly gorgeous; but she comes across as humble, genuine...real in other words.
I just started watching 'Yong A Dream,' and like a great book you can't put down, I'm all in! 💯🌺 ❤️
At episode 27 and am surprised that Jing Yi hasn't had much more screen time. Maybe, hopefully, her scenes will increase in future episodes. "Blossoms in Adversity" made me a fan, and I hope she will continue landing more FL roles in the future. Btw, LZH has been an excellent show overall, imo.
Interesting how any time a show takes off in popularity, the FL inevitably gets attacked by a certain poster on MDL. Word of advice: it's far better to praise the ones you like than bash the ones you don't. You only end up hurting, not helping, your favorite star or stars. It's a rather simple concept, actually. I wonder if that poster writes negative political ads for a living. Peace and out. 😊

Best to our Lusi in the remainder of 2025 and beyond...we stand with you- live well! ❤️🥂
Cheers! 🥂 💯
