If the SML were as you described I have no issue. Unfortunately he hasn’t convinced me he is fit much less worthy.

For me, that would be the best ending!

Yes and then after that she can go save that ailing emperor as well. And toss a coin who gets to sit on the throne.

Forget her - Ruisheng may be able to get the job done!

He is a pretty good emperor - someone please save him so that we can give Li Mao the heave ho!

I don’t equate wanting power with a bad reputation for a ruler. I would think that is more of a necessary condition, one that he unfortunately does not meet.

Sigh! Gong Jun is also hit or miss for me. Here we go again - another failed fav wuxia adaptation.

Or the dude wears his heart on his buttocks!!!

Yups Luk Siu Fung. Wish they made Chor Lau Heong instead but that won’t age well in today values.

He has a really important role as the bestie though.🤨

Have respect for the actor’s agency and free will and judgement that she is ready for such roles; a decision that was endorsed and supported by her parents. You for sure don’t know any better and fortunately for us all it is not decided by whether you “feel uncomfortable” but what Ai Mi, her parents and HMH feel comfortable with.

He has two main roles coming up. The one I am looking forward to is Lu Xiaofeng alongside Gong Jun and one of my favorite old school wuxias. Now I feel really worried... argh!!!

When she shot him in the butt imo.

Yeah but in the past I always was forgiving bc he is so handsome and I just thought the role wasn’t good enough for him to shine. Can’t really say that here bc this is a juicy role with lots of scope for nuance - he should at a bare minimum be able to pull off a conflicted but not completely irredeemable character. He just didn’t deliver any nuance he is either super dark or super indecisive. Makes me question Wuyi’s judgement in trusting and empowering such a waffle.

I don’t think Wuyi cares about his reputation - he has long been known to be womanizer and brutal killer. Power hungry is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

POJ is not Iqiyi exclusive content so they don’t control the licensing of it.

LMAO - Typical lame comeback from someone who has been called out for their hypocrisy and glaring logical inconsistencies. Take your own advice and stop embarrassing yourself. No one is judging you for your fondness for romantic fantasies involving 16 year old girls. You invited scrutiny on yourself. Pro tip: people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Don’t hold your breath. Iqiyi is locked in intense competition with Netflix and as a policy matter does not sell their exclusive content to them.

Indeed the actor is not at all immersed in the role, most likely bc he just doesn’t understand the character itself. He was so “not present” in Fate Chooses You that I have forgotten he was even in it!😅

Maybe just stop watching romantic dramas about 16 year old girls and grown men. Bc if you are bothered by the visuals, this is your wake up call that your real issue should be with the content in and of itself. Regardless of whether a 30 year old or a 25 year old or a 17 year old plays that role. Best just walk the talk and stop consuming this kind of content then.
