What a fantastic actor! Loved him as Duan Xu I LBTG. If I had to rank his dramas:
1. Lighter and princess
2. Love Beyond the Grave
3. When Destiny brings the demon
4. Love story in the 70s
5. Eat Run and love
But then they are all such different characters and you cannot. Compare them even this ranking will not work! A versatile actor!

This clip is making me miss them more!

Yes his story was really sad. Duan Xu and Fang Xianye both had only each other .

It’s one of the best dramas of 2026. I enjoyed it ! And am on my rewatch

Oh wow! They both look gorgeous! What an awesome couple!!wonderful pairing!

This whole auntie nephew thing people are going on about is plain ridiculous. This character needed a mature woman with a strong presence who could bring whole 400 yr old spirit vibe here . And Dilraba suits that to a T- she was perfect . And she is 33 for heavens sake -when did that become old??? . This obsession with evergreen youth which does not exist is a bit too much. When you get to that age we will talk. Anyway someone younger could never have carried this role. And honestly their chemistry was so good.- 7 yrs is nothing in this day and age. These biases need to go. And yes the ML did an amazing job with his role . Like @ cutiecotton said there is no winning with y’all

A general does not have to be stoic and expressionless all the time . he smiled a lot to hide his sadness. He was the perfect foil to her cruel, heartless character because he brought the right amount of warmth that was needed .

Yep that is what I am seeing. Not really understanding the drama . And the ‘stereotypes’ of course

Yeah it seems like they want cartoon like theatrics on the face. Subtlety is not accepted. I am not taking these ratings seriously either because elsewhere this drama is receiving a lot of accolades . And the leads too.

From what I see from everywhere else people are loving this drama. Only MDL is like this

An observation from my rewatch. Yes Duan Xu’s character does smile a lot but those smiles really pull at your heartstrings. There is so much pain and sadness in those smiles that they hardly even reach his eyes. Duan Xu is one of those people who was never loved throughout his life. When you think about this all his persistence and longing for. he Simu’s love makes so much sense! Chen Feiyu has really shown this in his subtle understated portrayal of Duan Xu

May say a few final words after my rewatch but I am gone for now

I could sleep through half the drama and nothing much would have happened. If these leads knew each other before why are they behaving like this?

I just know this one. You are welcome

Is this what you were referring to ?

Yep the trolls that attack you personally are here 😂. And this is where I am saying goodbye. It was lovely enjoying this drama with all of you !

Great! The personal attacks have started. Wonderful ! Keep it up!

Maybe you should follow your own advice ? And stop straying to bait other people?

????- did we even talk? Go target someone else if you have all this time on your hands

Oh wow! Really! Ha! Same to you
