This is why one can not trust MDL ratings. This is a very solid show. At least 8.5, up to at least 9.0 rating.
I agree. When it first aired only four epsiodes as per such with any Yang Zi drama. Her antics and haters bombed it with 1.0 star ratings on MDL, IMDB, and Douban. Once again it made such a fuss it trended on Weibo hot search. Even none Yang Zi fans were calling the antics out. This drama debuted on here with a 7.4 then it raised a point each day until it finally made it to 8.0 and they dropped to 7.3 and back. It just made it to 7.8 again. You have people rating each episode 1.0 and the full drama of 42 episodes 1.0 I keep seeing new comers ask the same question over and over. it’s not hard to grasp what is happening. Than you have those who find the drama repetitive in storyline. It’s not repetitive you’re not use to dramas that likes to showcase an actual story telling. You want the villains to get their swift justice and move the plot along. But with 42 episodes what will that serve? The drama has been trending none stop. The cast has been trending non stop. The drama is verified and certified S+ ranked and added to IQYI hall of fame. IQYI doesn’t just add any drama to that list. Yang Zi never has a bad drama. They did the same with Born to be alive and the drama has a douban 8.4 as it just increased to 8.4 and also has 8 nominations for the prestigious award magonlia award. Yang Zi even has her fourth nomination for best lead actress for magonlia awards. If she wins finally her haters will pull a Cheng Yi and couch up blood. 🩸 Because out of all of her 90s peers she’s the only one who’s been nom back to back. Neitzens in China said they will be devastated and shock if she doesn’t win. Yang Zi thinks it’s an honor just to be nominated. I want her to win for herself and her craft. To show haters can’t stop her success. The drama is doing really well. Yet people saying it’s not or it isn’t their cup of tea. It’s fine to have an actual opinion but a bias one because you hate a certain actress is not invalid. I even watch other actors I don’t like works to maybe see if my opinion changes. Sometimes they do other times they don’t. But never will I rate a drama 1.0 unless the writing was truly horribly. Even then I will give it a 5 to a 6.
Does anyone know who are these Li elders in ep 26 please? Are they siblings or cousins to grandma 7, her grandads…
My guess is that they represent the first 5 branches of the Li Family. They never appeared so far, not even when they decided to exclude the 8th branch of the family. Now they made their entry for a minor issue, that looks a bit strange to me.

It's so so so good. I'm pretty amazed at the low rating here - maybe as it's not full of magical zithers or crazy romance? (don't get me wrong, I like those things too lol, but maybe that's why more people don't like this drama. I dunno) It's very high quality, amazing acting, a serious drama really. One of the good ones for sure.

The showdown between LZ & the elders as well as the fourth aunt to defend her position as head of the Li family in ep 26 was so good. Oh and the uncle JD isdefending her, love it.

Oh my god, I really like this series. It’s really my drama feel good, especially during this exam period.The wood transport scene in the funeral procession was Chef’s Kiss!!! I really love the closeness between Zhen and his uncle Jingdong.
