Just pure speculation on my part re: Changge and Zhuyan's relationship (speculative spoiler - open with care):
What if one of them (more likely Changge) is the missing Emperor Ai? Not sure how much fictionalised history this is but wasn't Emperor Ai a well known homosexual?
Zhou Ting Wei's character is probably the most mysterious of all the characters that gets significant screen time.…
He basically said he is in no mans land - aged out of ML but is too young to play the older weighty characters. I think we are unlikely to see him in costume drama ML again but he has two costume movies coming up soon... if they ever screen movies again. Yeah I thought no one would top Mark Chao's Ye Hua with the long hair and then along comes Chen Kun's Ning Yi and I am like huh... Ye who? He is still making modern dramas, I have 1949 on my PTW. And he is gonna be in Gong Xun, the patriotic show about Chinese legends with an all star cast - Lei Jia Yin, Hu Ge, Bai Qing etc...

I don't like this 'Republic era' period too. Because from what i've seen before in this era drama, almost no happy…
Changsha is usually exactly my kind of show I tried to watch it but since AOL, Yangzi gives me rashes (I mean no offense if you like her/AOL). I put it on hold for now hoping eventually I get amnesia and will be able to watch Changsha with fresh eyes.
Wow! Really loving the ML - this is a man's man; none of that pasty white effeminate overly pretty ML we get too much of! YES! Two thumbs up! The two FLs though I have mixed feelings about - I dislike and distrust Zhong Yao character even though she is stunningly beautiful. And why is Tan Songyun's Xi Shui almost reprising her Under The Power character? Surely she can do better than that! Don't feel any chemistry with ML not to mention it is boring to see the same old same old from her. Still reserving judgement, the production value is amazing but am not sure about plot and I hate this period in Chinese history.
I thought he never even tried to come back for him, which is why Qingci is so disillusioned. It is also kind of clumsy plot wise because now it seems both survived... lots more questions than answers... I love this kind of slow reveal type of story and hate it at the same time because I can't tell if it doesn't make sense because it doesn't make sense or because I don't have all the pieces.
Maybe ~7 or 8? He sacrificed his son to save the prince no? Isn't that how Qingci got poisoned and was left for dead? I never understood why he didn't just use some other boy of a similar age? Its been bothering me all along but since I tend to chat with my friend while we are watching I also dunno if we missed something.
I don't quite understand why the marquis had to swap his son with the prince. Surely they can find another boy of similar age to take his place. Why sacrifice his own son like this?

Don't get me started... I complain about this endlessly every time I meet anyone in the business. But it is what the fans want and for every one of me/you there are thousands demanding idol actors. Working demographic puts in very long office hours in China so recently they been launching a bunch of shorter 12 episode type usually modern dramas featuring older actors.

Sad to say I doubt - he has pretty much aged out in terms of pulling off ML in costume dramas anyway - they are all written as teenagers. Even Leo+yuqi couldn't pull it off IMHO. Maybe xianxia is possible. Its a shame because I love older more nuanced actors. I was inconsolable after watching a Chen Kun interview where he admitted he thinks he has aged out. I am not a celeb cyber stalker but he is my one exception...

Well clearly there is an attraction, let's see how the relationship evolves. I wouldn't say they made her dumb yet but I did get irritated at her mulishness at ~12/13. I share your fear wrt shifu and look forward to seeing how the story unfolds from here. Tbh I am much engaged in the plot for this one than any of the romances. I think I have OD-ed on romances for awhile after you know what...

LOL - he obviously has Stockholm Syndrome. Poor guy he lost the will to live after what his dad did to him and he latched on to her as his reason for living. I think he became a wandering doctor with the specific intent of tracking her down and in a funny way he is as obsessed with finding and being with her as she is with curing her shifu. But as pointed out by @kaister I am personally a little bit less in love with how they started to write her. She is obstinate to the point of stupidity and seems to have gotten a bit less clever (than say when they went after the map). I just don't love it when we get a smart strong FL and then they dumb her down somewhere in the middle of the drama and I hope they don't do it here (ie I can't take another ROP/Fang Zhiwei).
