I'm late, but your points 1 and 4 makes me want to watch it. Number 3 not so much, though.

"I became the cannon fodder who died early, and I angrily married the villain" - terrible title, but a very good read overall. But also a very long one :).

Well, I have no idea about the financial aspects of the Microdramas, this Drama including - I only see that it didn't have a crazy view numbers on YT, but the comments were one-sidedly enthusiastic, especially after Season 1.
If I weren't one of them, I would have thought they are all bought :)

Regarding the tempo - at this moment it looks like at least Five Seasons will be needed:
- Episode 3 should be building up the economic power of their region, and the rise of FL's father (behind her planning of course) and the conflicts against Barbarians
- Episode 4 should be the Rebellion and New World Order of the old Dynasty
- Episode 5 should be the final war and challenges to change a Dynasty

Do they make and have enough money to film all these Episodes?? No Idea

What episode was that? I now want to watch it :)
And what was the name of the kidnapped character?

I dropped Shadow Love after two episodes, as the FL had to be saved in both of them, which made me wonder how she became a general in the first place and survived for so many years, without knowing the ML.

I ask myself the same question pretty much in every Drama, where the FL is supposed to be a "badass/strong female lead".

Typically, it's a little bit better regarding "Smart female leads", but they also are losing half of their IQ points way too easily, just because the writers feel the need to progress the Romance by the ML saving them over and over and over again...

Fortunately, in the latter category, at least Lu Songli was the FL done right, in both Novel and the Live adaptation (at least so far).

Ooooh, it's nice to finally meet someone who hates it happening almost as much as I do :).

So many Dramas kind of ruined for me with this nonsense.

Someone in YT comments posted an info that they are already filming Part 3!!!
I don't use TikTok and I'm guessing, maybe there would be a confirmation on actors/director profiles.

Thanks for your post. I also would hate it.

I just found out on YT that there are multiple anime/animations (kind of ) versions of the full novel story available, unfortunately, only in Chinese - does anyone know how it works?
To have a 5-10 hour unofficial versions? I am not familiar with Chinese animation culture.

She as also excellent in "Song of Glory" a few years ago, so it seems she has natural talent and looks/acting for it.
Among the top actresses, only Liu Shishi in "Journey to Love" was in my opinion on the same level.

Just watched it - still quite decent, but nowhere as good as Part 1. But to be honest, also in the Novel the "The Road to Exile" was the weakest Part for me too.

The segment starting at 2:15 was extremely boring and quite confusing, just like in the book.

Also, the opening minutes differ a bit compared to the Novel - as the Evil Officer wasn't as important in the book as here, but was still killed.

Of course, I hope the next Parts will be produced as well - the Part 2 ends around Chapter 208 out of 775 of the Novel.

And hocus pocus, it changed into 82 episodes :).

First observation - they progressed only a bit in Part 2 compared to the original material, still over 500 chapters to cover from the Novel.

So, as this microdrama (especially Part 1) appears to have garnered enthusiastic comments - at least based on YouTube - perhaps there will be Part 3, Part 4, etc.

WHOA! Thank you so much! Didn't expect it to happen so quickly :)

No idea about the title, but apparently it's her as the FL here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fur98ImO0Kc

Very strong and capable FL on the revenge path. The ML and the Romance was horrific, but it's secondary for me, so I didn't care much.

Yeah, it's pretty decent rating.

Maybe it will make me reconsider watching it after stopping after Episode 5, and my love for Li Qin will overcome my early dislike for the ML and the general lack of interest in seeing such a high amount of teenage-looking actors in important roles.

Whoa, 5 hours is crazy - I think my max so far was a bit over 4 hours, some historical minidrama starring Mi Qi.

遥相思 - I know Wang Yun Yun, so it least deserves a look and reading comments on YT :).

Lets see, I have no experience in how often MDL info on this level could be true or wrong.

It would be shockingly short knowing how much of the material they have still to cover.
