What happens!?!?

This is just my guess and honestly......I don’t know anything about the drama script.
They might introduce more scenes and development for the ML in the drama because from what I’ve heard, the original novel gives Ao Chi less presence and focuses a lot on side stories.
If they adapt the novel too closely, the ML might end up with very little screen time.
I know that might not sit well with novel fans but if the drama rewrites the ML as a more compelling and important love interest for the FL, it could make the story more interesting for the audience.

After just two days of filming, he already has four costumes with two different styles and I kind of like them 😊

So they created a new character for him?
He has a completely different style and outfit, the light blue look that was trending on Weibo yesterday made him look like a fairy lol.
I think that appearance is what @Enigma05 referred to as Cang Hui.

In the novel, Ao Chi is subdued by Zi Miao after causing a flood while bathing in a lake and he later meets Sha Luo.
Zi Miao’s body and soul are completely extinguished (though it’s unclear how), and he is later resurrected as Wang Chuan in a later chapter.
I’m not sure how the drama will handle this, though....let’s wait and see. By the way, I haven’t actually read the novel yet.

You can refer to my spoiler above about his character. He will play a naughty dragon who protects the female lead and truly loves her.
If you’re really his fan, please trust him. As a long-time fan myself, I’ve noticed that many of the roles he chooses reflect the kind of characters he wants to explore and portray.

Ao Chi is not the boring character ML for sure.

I’m a bit confused that this novel adaptation only has 30 episodes. With multiple timelines, I assume they might cut some side stories which I don’t mind since I’m more interested in the main plot and a fast-paced narrative that fully immerses the audience.

Deng Kai’s character won’t just be an illusion, he is the love of Sha Luo’s life, so they will definitely include his scenes. As for the Water God (DK) and the Dragon (CZY), since they are enemies, the drama will likely feature fantasy scenes showcasing their battles also.

and he was there with WJY again in another CZY's drama LOL.

Thank you for the summary, that’s what I read somewhere.
Sha Luo had a tragic love story with Zi Miao and never truly forgot him.
Ao Chi came to rescue her but as an enemy and because he seemed to fall for her at first sight, he kept her by his side and liked teasing her. They often had intense arguments as she kind of hated him at first and even called him an “ugly monster” since he’s a dragon.
Meanwhile, she was still deeply in love with Zi Miao. Ao Chi stayed by her side, encouraging her to live her life. He protected her and eventually confessed his feelings.
Sometimes he would come back to see her from afar, constantly saying he missed her, that’s why he always found his way back to her lol, he’s so bold.
In the end, she opened her heart to him, as he was the one who helped her believe in love and life again.
The novel is so long lol, I’m too lazy to read it. I tried to find summaries that focus on the main storyline, since there are so many side stories as well.

His company is said to be a subsidiary of iQiyi, that’s what CZY’s fans often mention on Weibo. I might be wrong but they usually say he’s a regular employee under one of iQiyi’s subsidiaries.

If they’re really planning to broadcast the drama on May 16, they should already be promoting it and confirming the air date by now. Some hype dramas take weeks of publicity and official confirmation before airing.
Since it will also be broadcast on satellite TV, the schedule needs to be precise. That’s why I still have some doubts about whether it will actually be released on the 16th.
I’d love for it to be true, I really want to watch Tang Qian Zi and Ti Lan already.

What I want for CZY and WCR is a strong production team, a solid script and overall high-quality execution.
This novel seems quite difficult to adapt according to many sources and if they follow the original closely, the leads might end up with limited screen time in just 30 episodes (I do hope it gets more than that). I also hope they have a skilled screenwriter who knows how to adapt it well for a drama and make it truly promising.”

Billing order shouldn’t really matter to us as the audience, right? It’s better kept within the Chinese entertainment industry and not brought outside.

My friend, are you sure this is an S+ drama? Don’t get me wrong, I’m just a bit surprised, as iQIYI has never given CZY an S+ drama before despite him being their employee for 10 years.. I think this might be an S-level project at most.

Nowadays, it’s quite difficult for platforms to approve S+ dramas. Anyway, since CZY chose this project, I hope everything goes well in every aspect.

He should post more on Douyin. He gained over 100K from his recent two posts.

I don’t know what this is about 😂 but Weibo mentioned CZY and said they were impressed by his down-to-earth food livestreams which I really love 😁 so they gave him this award and wished him a bright and promising future!!!

Thanks, Weibo! 🙌

CZY seems to be updating his social media more often, it feels good seeing him more lively like that 😄

He looks so much like DJX again after letting his hair grow long.

Hahaha, I really love Yang Di Ge. CZY looks so comfortable around him and Di Ge clearly adores him too, he’s mentioned CZY many times on his variety shows.

I am so happy to see them getting along 😊
