girl / sir you’re reading into too much. it’s not that deep. if you thinks so whatever. I said that’s nice for you meaning it’s nice that you think that way. what more you want me to do? run lap? praise you up in the comments? it’s not that deep. I agreed with your comment now stop pestering me.

metoo

that’s nice for you

I haven’t seen netizens on Weibo or remote complain. if anything it’s been intl fans. but whatever

honestly I don’t care about kiss scenes. doesn’t matter what age the actor or actress is. I’m someone who doesn’t need overblown romance forced into my face with kisses every min. Romance for me can be without kisses and that’s what I prefer. to each their own.

I can’t wait to binge watch this drama. I’m very picky with my pairings of Neo and the first drama I ever saw of his that made me become a fan was “A girl like me.” From there on I could not see him with any other actress. Until now. Ai Mi chemistry was something I didn’t know I needed for a pairing with one of my favs. I can’t believe I actually pushed AGLM pairing second with LITC pairing third for this pairing to be number one. That just shows me how good he is, and how good Ai Mi is with him. Their chemistry can’t be deny nor dismissed, belittled or hindered. Thus this drama will now sit in my heart’s vault alongside some of my big heavy weight dramas. It gives you so much depth, memorable movements and so on. There’s times I’m furious or frustrated with other dramas plots, characters that no matter if I’m enjoying the drama. I will fast forward or tune out. Not with this drama. I walked the long road. Because I was afraid if I fast forward, tuned out, or even placed this drama on hold. I would miss something important. I’m glad I didn’t, this drama reminds me of them older palace dramas with generals fighting for the people and their love one. Neo and Ai Mi gave me General and me, A General lady vibes and so on with this drama. The in depth story the drama portrays to viewers can keep you guessing for years. Just when you think you’ve figured this character out. Another Easter egg pops out. Another twist and reveal shows up. This is what a good drama is. Romance is nice and yes this drama has one of 2026’s best romances for me. For a non romance focus drama. I think the way Xiao Wu Yi shows his love for Xie Jia Yu and vice versa. Is some of the purest form of true love I’ve seen in a very long time. You can feel the passion and love between the characters with the way the leads are pouring into their roles. I’m glad this drama is a successful S+ rated hit. Spite not getting a lot of promotion this dark horse of IQYI has capture billions’s of netizens hearts and intl fans hearts all over. This is definitely a rewatch value for me. My only wished is soon it’ll be on Viki. I love to have my favorite dramas also on Viki as to add them to my watchlist and subscribe wall. Nevertheless, I encourage anyone who’s doubting or curious to give this drama a chance. Go into it open minded and clear hearted. You’ll see why it’s making waves in China and all over the world.

the only thing that’s killing anyone is your broken English. As someone who’s native tongue isn’t English. I can speak more clearly and non delusional as you. 😭😂😫

7.0 is still pretty high in douban scores. so even if it’s only 7.0 that is impressive for a drama that had only 28 epsiodes, and with a Ai mi being FL for the first time. it showed the drama did amazingly well in China. Even a 6.0 douban score is considered pretty decent.

express from what I was told is next week. the calendar should be in the images page

she leaves to do her own thing. I see many enjoying that aspect which i find enjoyable. I don’t need a fl lead to stay at home and knit and cry over her husband. instead she leaves to help him and also do something that she needs to do. but again its just me and its alright if you wanted her to not leave because it gives contrived writing. I do believe it actually benefits the storyline than rather her staying.

this drama isn’t romance based and isn’t base on a novel. it’s a original script and the original script didn’t called for romance centric. that’s why you’re seeing less romance it’s not the focus. but even with the less romance it’s giving way more to be expected. it’s making fans such as myself being from Eastern Asia and even mainland fans. Intl fans hope for returning to Chinese drama roots. where we don’t have leads kissing passionately or kissing in ever scene. For me this type of drama is my favorite. Which is why I support Yang Zi, Yang Yang, Xiao Zhan, Cheng Yi etc. These actress and actors are people who don’t have romance centric dramas anymore. As they’ve stepped far away from the CP power. Neo is venturing into this as well and I am loving it. He still does romance dramas but this one is perfect for him to take on. Which is another reason why I support him and love. Ai Mi is just now having her first female lead and this one and her other drama already flimed isn’t romance centric. Which is also good. I love dramas that doesn’t focus on romance solely but everything else around it with romance being the foot stool. But this is just my own thoughts expressing why I think it works for this drama. 😊

I’m hearing the drama is expected to opened with a douban score of 7.0

There’s only been six dramas this year I’ve watched and out of six only four have lived up to my expectations. At first I thought The heir was top 1 than I thought ZZA was top 1. I also thought the kdrama FIL was top 1. Even TEF was top 1. Well, as a frenquent drama watcher. I was completely wrong. my top 2026 drama list has shifted. Top 1. Key to the Phoenix heart.

This drama, the writing, pacing, directing, acting, storyline, and of course the leads, supporting cast. Just the full cast down to the sound engineer was outstanding.

I can’t believe how I’m shifting my list around and making other dramas take the backseat. I didn’t have doubts as others, and the haters. Becuase Neo and Ai mi can act. However, I was worried the writing would’ve soured or got boring. I was wrong. This drama deserves a higher douban score whenever it comes out. But I will settle for a 7.0 or more. This is just beautiful and reminds me of older Chinese dramas. I look forward to a second collaboration perhaps next year. With netizens calling on a modern day drama with the two. I can concur and say I want the same. The drama is truly that good.

netizens are saying it’s a done deal with the 🍉 that Ai mi will be starring in the new drama by IQYI with Deng Wei. I look forward to this.

sorry you seem confused. I know you like to think of yourself as a justice warrior for the non victims who never claimed to be nor want to be claimed as such. I know this went over your head. it’s fine I was expecting that. Anyhoos enjoy the drama and the pairing. it’s breaking records and has been rated S+ now sits inside of IqYi hall of fame of 2026 dramas. see ya.

Ami auditioned. Just like everyone else who wanted the role and from Neitzens she blew everyone outta the way. The directors knew then they found their person.

if it bothers you so much you have the option to not pay attention to this drama or others. like netizens said about backlash from intl fans. no one questioned when Crystal Leifei was casted alongside HuGe who was way older than her when she was only just 16. Vice versa with other actresses in their 50s trying to play 16 year olds. It’s just fictional art and actors age shouldn’t be an issue. they’re not making xxx content. not everyone wants romantic kisses. a lot of netizens are actually pleased with this drama taking it back to Chinese roots. without all the spit swapping kisses or aggressively love.

wanted to share this link from Weibo from netizens who want more dramas without kissing. https://weibo.com/5513950146/5321769300790347

a lot of other dramas do this from time to time and you’re right it’s not a big deal
