They projected onto CXX too basically. Since the character Li Cheng Yin forsaken the FL, CXX irl needs to take care of the actress/love the actress to make up for it.

Yeah, they have good talents but the dramas they have them do aren't the best.

Same, but if "Guardians of the Lands" ends up airing... I see more mess lol. Liu Ning will definitely try to push for CMC more and that includes him frying CP with CXX. Not to mention this drama was filmed before TSL so the relationship/character entanglements 😂 Some people were already not happy with CMC saying he wish the twins flower take longer to revive for their last broadcast aka leaning into his next main ship.

It is really no wonder CXX doesn't do variety shows or attend events. Just more opportunities for people to slander him.

LLD's contract with her company is coming up so a lot of people are praying she switch company. That company was really trash in many ways, the only good thing they really did was the CEO calling up Youku/investors at the time when it was rumored TXW was going to take the YT role and let them know this was happening behind the scene without Youku/investors' consent. Just sad that LLD was already practicing with them for a month and she could still had been kicked out of her role because TXW had connections and Liu Ning had close ties with those connections.

LLD was on this variety show before called "The Inn Season 3" back in 2019 and that show is known to edit the celebs really badly (these shows are also known to have scripts so they would have "customers" who would show up to cause trouble on purpose) and LLD (and Wu Lei who was also on the show) got dragged through the mud for it. Before TSL aired, people still brought up that variety show to hate on her. She became known from "My Huckleberry Friends" (2017) and had a really positive reputation but her company then pushed her to take on roles that the company produced like "Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty" (2019) which got her even more dragged especially because her sleep schedule then while filming that drama was really bad + she was in her growing age at the time so she ended up gaining weight and that is a crime to netizens. LLD also mentioned before in one of the pair interviews she had with CXX that she still fear gaining weight. Plus because of the long-time dating rumor of her and ZXC, she was constantly dragged by his fans saying she doesn't match him + they always take it out on her whenever a new dating rumor pops up with ZXC and his co-stars (while trying to ignore the fact that she was a minor when she filmed "My Huckleberry Friends" with him and it was rumored that he had a girlfriend at the time so if anything, LLD shouldn't be the one getting dragged). She also almost got replaced by TXW for the YT role which is another mess because it was being pushed at first that it was LLD's fault that she lost out on the role but the truth was something else.

CXX gained success from his role as Li Cheng Yin in "Goodbye My Princess" (2019) but he was also massively hated on by the FL/actress's fans and the shipper fans. It is like a twisted kind of love/hate that he is not allowed to have any other ships except that FL/actress (because his character in that drama "failed" the FL) and that Li Cheng Yin was his best role and his other roles aren't up to par. He didn't have a strong fanbase back then too so his fans couldn't do much. Those same anti-fans/shippers have been sticking around every time he has a new drama to drag him and say his looks got worse, his acting declined, etc. Part of the hate he got when TSL first aired was them pushing out videos comparing his character/looks/voice to his Li Cheng Yin character who was dubbed to say he was better then.

In a way, TSL helped both gained fans/shipper fans who are willing to defend them and show them in positive lights again. YQ and YT were roles that let them both have a second role that was as memorable as their first roles (i.e. Yu Zhou Zhou and Li Cheng Yin) and both of these roles were vastly different from their first memorable roles.

I wish CXX and LLD the best moving onward. I hope they get good scripts and get to act the characters they like. Through this drama, I started researching more about them and learned both went through a lot from being maliciously edited on variety shows to being straight up hated for a character they acted before. I think that makes their relationship (whatever that might be) even sweeter because both are very considerate towards each other and both of their fans therefore have been really great with each other too, which is pretty rare when it comes to CPs in C-dramaland. This is the probably the first popular CP in C-dramaland in a looooong time where the individual fans of the actor and actress don't straight up hate each other. I am glad they were able gain a lot of new fans from this drama who will defend them and look forward to their future works.

Oh yeah definitely, I think a lot of them end up getting type casted and they just do the roles with the looks/outfits that made them popular in the first place in hope they can get the same result again.

I don't think he will, he doesn't seem interested in going down that route and from what I know, he manages himself/not under a company so he is the one who decides what script to take (if I remember correctly, he took like a 9 month break after TSL). He rarely go on shows/events too so he doesn't seem interested in that aspect of the ent business.

Ahhh, probably one of those dramas with multiple MLs who are all in love with the FL. The one she ends up with might not be the one she ends up having the most backstory with.

Haha he really set the standard! I find that once a lot of them start getting popular/head to the liuliang route, even if their actings were decent/good before, it declined once they go down that path.

Lmao I tried watching "Blue Whisperer" and it was a no for me. Especially because I have seen Ren Jialun in other dramas like "Under the Power" and he was better there with the acting and chemistry.

I usually like ZLS's dramas. Unfortunately, I pretty much dropped a majority of Reba's dramas. I think the only two I ever finished was "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" (but she was not the main there) and "The Glory" (I liked her character/her acting is suitable there). I liked YZ's older dramas but haven't really cared about her recent ones.

Been trying to get into the newly released romance focused C-dramas and I pretty much dropped all of them, The chemistry is not chemistry-ing in the other new ones (not to say the other actors/actresses can't act, but my heart is unmoved). 😔 Besides a good plot and characterizations, CP chemistry between the leads is so important. They need to make me believe without a doubt that they fell for each other. CXX and LLD set the bar high with YQ and YT. I am still stuck here.

LOL it was so obvious when they dropped that hint on Wenren's fan (that he bat for both teams) in the drama and the ending dialogue between YQ and CF. People were understandably upset because they were trying to push a ship from a drama that didn't even drop yet onto the current drama. Not to mention this producer has a history of doing things like this and the whole drama involving TXW almost replacing LLD... he didn't want the main CP to get that popular but sucks for him.

I tried giving LBFAD a try 2 times last year and couldn't get into it at all. I found it very outdated in terms of the characterizations of both characters. Also didn't help that I watched it after "Love Like the Galaxy" so there was a big difference with the general acting, emotional intensity, and etc.

Tried giving it a chance again after and still couldn't get into it. Tried watching clips of their "sweet moments" and still did nothing for me. I need to like the individual characters first before buying into their relationships and I couldn't connect with the characters at all.

Yeah, this is just rumors but he is known to have supposedly dated two of them, one from FIL and one from "The Best of Times". There was this interview of when FIL was airing/about to air and he had to promote it with the FL and lmaooo, you can tell they weren't feeling it (probably broke up by then). It was said he gets really immersed in acting/becomes the character so it isn't surprising to people that he ends up dating his co-stars sometimes. For example, he got really sick after he filmed "Good Bye, My Princess" and it took him about 6 months to get out of that role.

I don't really have a preference! I think a modern drama would be nice but a historical one would be great too. As long as their characters have depth!

Yup lol, one of points the shippers is in love because CXX is known to be really good with people in general (friendly, heartwarming, etc.) so it is interesting to see him being the shy one at times when it comes to LLD.

They are great!! And so professional too. I love watching their interviews talking about acting and them just getting each other when it comes to acting and other topics. Super funny when they go off topic too and just start talking to each other forgetting the camera is on/got viewers lol.

Yeah, usually irl CP shipping in C-ent is meh to me because it is very obvious when it is used to just promote the drama and the actors/actresses themselves by selling "fake sugar" to get people invested. The thing with these two is that they are not even trying but it is working for them instead unintentionally.

Yes! People are begging them to be in another drama together and get good scripts so here is to hoping!

Me, C-fans definitely know how to ship lmao, they can dig up anything and make connections about everything. It doesn't help that CXX and LLD have natural chemistry and they aren't even trying to "fry CP" but their interactions/banters are just so so so nice. Plus CXX isn't exactly making it hard to do so especially when compared to his previous promo with his previous dramas. The fans are hilarious too because they are saying they will ship even if they get married to other people because they can still divorce (mostly trolling but) lmaooo.
