I’m not sure whether it can really be called a flop, because that depends on which charts you’re referring…
But trust me, no one cares. They only care about heat indexes, popularity rankings, and all that nonsense. Then they’ll call the drama a flop simply because the production team didn’t pay hundreds of marketing accounts to hype it up on Weibo and other Chinese social media platforms.
I’m already used to this whenever it comes to CZY’s dramas. Fated Hearts was the most-viewed historical drama on the iQiyi International app last year and it even remained in the platform’s (Inter) top five during the first half of this year. Yet hardly anyone talks about that achievement because there weren’t 800+ marketing accounts got paid to hyping it up.
Now the same thing is happening again. This drama can reach nearly 700 million views with only 13 episodes on the Mango TV app and achieve around a 0.5% rating on satellite TV, yet barely any marketing accounts promote those results because they weren’t paid to do so.
If this were another actor’s drama, they would be announcing and celebrating these numbers for two days and two nights 🤣
Someone even joked that FL x SML and ML x Cheng Xiao should've been the real endgame. Honestly, as long as CZY's…
This is exactly why the Chinese drama industry is such a mess. At this point, its downfall would be entirely self-inflicted, they just keep shooting themselves in the foot.
Hi! What do you think about today's leaks? What exactly happened? I saw Shalu blocking Ao Chi, and both of them…
I feel so sorry for WCR. Her character in her recent drama was heavily criticized by the audience because of how messy the script was, and now her fans actually want the same kind of messy writing to happen again in Fusheng?
Soon, my friend, soon... CZY will finally be free from this mess, probably around mid-August. His fans are already…
I’m not even sure whether Fusheng will reach a heat index of 10,000 and even if it does, then what? I’m honestly so tired of this so-called heat index. “Flop this, flop that,” as if every drama needs to surpass 10,000 to be considered successful and is the good one.
People seem to care only about the numbers instead of whether the drama is actually good or simply popular because of all the hype.
How is the drama performing in china mainland and international is it a hit or flop drama please someone please…
Plus, WJY’s and CZY’s fans aren’t going crazy trying to report every single chart that exists because we honestly don’t care that much. We just want to enjoy the drama.

I’m not sure whether it can really be called a flop, because that depends on which charts you’re referring to and how much hype the drama receives from hundreds of marketing accounts—which this drama clearly doesn’t have.
China has so many different charts and ranking systems, and the results can also change as the drama continues airing. Here are some figures we can refer to:
👉 [MaoYan] Daily Effective Playback Ranking (All Dramas) 🥇 #MysticNine ✨ #WilliamChan × #ZengShunxi 🥈 #RoyalBetrothal We only dropped one episode on August 2, but we still ranked second, right behind The Mystic Nine. I’m happy for The Mystic Nine too! https://x.com/cdramacharts/status/2084127942741811604?s=12
If your definition of success is that a drama must be heavily promoted and hyped everywhere on Chinese social media, then no, this drama isn’t receiving that kind of attention, so you may consider it a flop with those other chart popularity that consider from the hype.
However, if you look at its satellite-TV ratings, platform views, and rankings, the results tell a different story. It may not be a massive breakout hit, but calling it a complete flop doesn’t seem accurate either.
When will the filming wrap up does anyone know please tell
Soon, my friend, soon... CZY will finally be free from this mess, probably around mid-August. His fans are already preparing for the filming wrap-up now.
Someone even joked that FL x SML and ML x Cheng Xiao should've been the real endgame. Honestly, as long as CZY's…
Why not? They should understand when the ML’s fans start shipping him with a supporting female character who has outstanding visuals like Cheng Xiao too, right? We’re just doing the same thing they do, so there shouldn’t be any problem. It’s a win-win situation.
If they want the super-tall SML, who honestly looks more like a villain, to end up with the FL instead of the genuinely good guy who loves her, like Ao Chi, then cool.
The FL and the SML look absolutely perfect together. Good for them!
Someone even joked that FL x SML and ML x Cheng Xiao should've been the real endgame. Honestly, as long as CZY's…
When the drama airs, I’m definitely going to ship CZY and Cheng Xiao! Cheng Xiao is incredibly beautiful and gorgeous, but they keep casting her in supporting roles even though she has such strong female-lead visuals. She’s also already familiar with our CZY, so some production team seriously needs to cast them together in a modern drama!
Someone even joked that FL x SML and ML x Cheng Xiao should've been the real endgame. Honestly, as long as CZY's…
Then why did they even cast CZY in the first place? Why not cast the SML as the ML from the beginning and just leave my CZY alone?
iQIYI and this production team can go f*** themselves. And yeah, if the FL’s fans want her to end up with the SML so badly, then f*** them too. Just give them what they want and leave my CZY out of this mess.
Hi! What do you think about today's leaks? What exactly happened? I saw Shalu blocking Ao Chi, and both of them…
Yeah, iQiyi and this production team can seriously go f*** themselves. Why cast CZY as the male lead if they were so determined to make the second male lead shine instead? They should have just cast the SML as the lead, let him and the FL live happily ever after and leave my CZY alone.
I really hate how they changed the script just to torture and humiliate the male lead. Honestly, good for you that you can abandon this show now, because the director already f***ed up the current drama so badly and now they’re doing this to CZY too.
And to everyone who wants the SML to end up with the FL, fine, go ahead. Just leave my CZY alone. Let this drama falls again, just like they already ruined the current drama starring the same FL.
I just hope it won’t turn her against him for whatever reason.
According to the novel, once she discovers that he was the one who rescued her, she promises herself that she will do anything for him. He is the man she loves, and she tries every possible way to repay the kindness of the man she has always dreamed of.
I’m not sure how the drama will portray it, but they really shouldn’t change the core of the novel.

They couldn’t afford to film in a real desert, so all the desert scenes were shot in Hengdian.
I’m not sure how the drama will portray it, but they really shouldn’t change the core of the novel.
