It's a harem. But Nangong Wang will be his only wife. He will have one platonic concubine though, according to…
In C-dramas, only emperors are permitted to have harems. I've read many xianxia novels that feature harems, often justified by the hero's extensive travels and long lifespan of hundreds of years. However, when these stories are adapted into C-dramas, they tend to become monogamous. The female characters may have crushes on the hero, but these are usually one-sided, lacking mutual love or any romantic relationships, such as lovers or concubines. This is the primary difference between donghua and novels.
Because they cut many scenes of her due to public backlash of not following the novel. They supposedly have many…
It was not mentioned in the article, but I noticed that many C-dramas now have an average of 36 episodes. Reducing the number to 30 is disappointing. The limit is 40 episodes, except for shorter dramas that are 2 or 10 minutes long.
Because they cut many scenes of her due to public backlash of not following the novel. They supposedly have many…
To be completely honest, the platform requested the production team to cut episodes at the beginning of this year. They were prepared to air the series, but they had to redo, cut, and likely add voiceovers to fit the new script.
It's understandable to feel upset about having less screen time, but it's important not to suggest anything public negative if she was indeed affected. There are many speculations, but rumors often have to start somewhere.

For the record, I am a subscriber to Youku, WeTV, Viki, and iQIYI, but I use KissHK for anime and MyAnime.live. I also surf YouTube and Dailymotion. So yes, I support legal platforms, but sometimes the content I want isn’t available with decent English subtitles.
I have learned to be more tolerant of novels translated by AI since that’s often my only way to read them. However, I have proofread and copyedited two or three novels because I love revisiting my favorites.
As for anime, if we're lucky, there are teams of human translators or dedicated fans, but most translations are done by AI. Sometimes the translations are amusingly inaccurate. That said, some hits are quite acceptable.

I agree. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for agencies to pressure their actors, male and female, to lose weight. While I won't mention specific celebrities to avoid provoking negative comments, some well-known figures are now extremely thin. They appear unhealthy, yet the public still finds them attractive.
The richest man in modern times, Qianjin Ningxi, soul-traveled through ancient times to become a regent. After facing many twists and turns, he successfully crossed back to modern times, holding onto one heart. However, he continued his relationship with the prince who had pursued him in ancient times.
To save Cangsheng from a coma, the general of Kunlun, Chu Beichi (played by Wang Hongxin), concealed his identity and disguised himself as the illegitimate son of the Chu family after waking up. He fought back against numerous challenges to reform the family traditions and eliminate bloodthirsty bandits. Throughout his journey, he attracted the attention of the eldest princess, the empress, wealthy merchants, and a female general. He also solved the chess game of the universe, defeated traitorous officials, subdued rival nations, and ultimately brought the world to its knees in submission.
"Illegitimate Son God General" is a mainland Chinese costume drama directed and written by Su Yuenian, starring Wang Hongxin, Han Leyao, Zhang Ying, Xu Yingluo, Su Hang, and Zhou Qianxiao. It is set to be released in 2025. The broadcast is scheduled for August 2, 2025.
The plot centers around Chu Beichi, the god of Kunlun. After saving Cangsheng and waking from a coma, he works to rectify family customs under the rule of Chufu. He pacifies blood bandits, solves a cosmic chess game, and engages in emotional entanglements with several female characters. Ultimately, he resolves a national crisis and stabilizes the country.
The drama incorporates elements of ancient costume and power, showcasing a diverse range of themes within the short drama format.

Finding a reliable source with good subtitles and image quality can be challenging. Myanime.live is my go-to option because it offers both. I also watch content on Bilibili and other platforms like YouTube if they have a playlist available. I prefer legal streaming sites, but it can be difficult to find decent English subtitles that aren’t poorly generated by AI.

UPMEDIA is a gossips paps online news. These sources gather information from various places and tend to amplify it. I came across one article claiming that Yang Yang was overweight and lost 7 kg, while another article stated he lost 10 kg, and yet another claimed he lost 12 kg for this drama.
It’s important to remember that many actors in china are placed on a pedestal, especially if they are extremely thin. Unfortunately, both male and female actors can struggle with anorexia. This reflects a concerning reality.
Yang yang is 180, over 30 and healthy. That’s my opinion.
"The Legend of Mortal Cultivation" points 9. Full play live shooting! The special effects alone cost 200…
It is said that the production fee of "The Legend of Immortal Cultivation" was 300 million yuan (about NT$1.32 billion), including 200 million yuan (about NT$880 million) was spent on special effects, which made the audience shout that it was very worth it!
The new drama "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation," starring Yang Yang, the popular lead actor from mainland TV, and Jin Chen from "Qing Yu Nian," quickly became a hit upon its recent broadcast. Jin Chen, who did not appear in the first four episodes, finally made her debut in the fifth episode, portraying "Nangong Wan," the elder of the Moon Sect. While dressed in white, many fans of the original animation expressed their dissatisfaction with her portrayal, feeling it deviated too much from the original character. Some viewers believe that the supporting character "Mo Caihuan," played by Zhao Qing, aligns more closely with the source material, providing a refreshing and unique interpretation.
Additionally, Jin Chen's delivery of her lines has drawn criticism for being unclear and lacking expressiveness, which some viewers found off-putting. There have also been rumors suggesting that Jin Chen was unhappy with Yang Yang's addition to the cast, leading to tension between them. This tension seemed to be evident during a promotional event.
In the lead-up to the broadcast, Yang Yang had been actively promoting the show on Weibo, posting frequently, while netizens noted that Jin Chen had only shared three posts about the drama, two of which were made on the same day. Critics pointed out that Jin Chen's posts were less frequent and lacked the enthusiasm seen in Yang Yang's numerous updates, including four consecutive posts on the premiere day. Furthermore, some observers found it noteworthy that Jin Chen used her platform to promote her friend's new film, "Lychee in Chang'an," rather than focusing solely on "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation," which may hint at her less favorable view of the show's promotional efforts.
