The Weibo video is fake. Compare the very first review on your video - on Douban it is 5 stars both on the Douban…
Insulting one's appearance is a legitimate review in your opinion? Most 1* reviews are 'hate' contents. While I agree giving full marks is also biased and needs to be equally dealt with by Douban (Examples: Cheng Yi is the best actor in the world, he is the most handsome blah blah); Positive or negative, more than 'one-line' reviews, well structured/rational ones should remain imo.
I heard Douban still has the final say in the end (even if platforms have very high control/influence over the score openings)
Edit: As a Cheng Yi fan, I don't particularly think I'm biased towards him or his works...I rarely give full marks to a drama...his series are no exception. I gave for instance 8.5 to 'Journey of Legend' and 7.5 for 'Sword and Beloved' Do I think they deserved such ratings? Not necessarily. Why did I gave such score? Mainly to counterbalance a bit the negative reviews (1 star)...IMHO JOL deserves at least a 8 (7.8 is way too low)/ Sword and Beloved was a disappointment (giving it 7.5 was me being generous here)
I did the same for 'Love of the Divine Tree' (now that it has stabilized, I may lower its score during the year) As for 'The Vendetta of An', my true rating---> more around 8.6 (MLC and Love&Redemption are still my favs shows of him)

Video might be fake but Douban can't escape accountability either (why give a cool off period to 'The Longest Promise' to shield it from fanwars/hate ratings for example but throw VOA (or even others) to the wolves to be slaughtered by the antis *double standard much?*
I also have a Douban account and I clearly saw VOA's page being bombarded with 1 star reviews in the first days of its release (mostly antis instigating fanwars/rival groups etc...) Meanwhile, later, Douban decided to clean/purge the page from bots/new accounts and kinda changed their system (probably punishing users who genuinely enjoyed the show in the process) ... deleting countless reviews which they deem dubious. Many 5 * reviews were removed...I also noticed many people giving 4* instead probably fearing their reviews would be deleted as well (something similar happened to JOL2). In the end, most positive reviews got removed while a lot of negative/nonsensical ones remained untouched (disparaging main actor's looks, acting or totally unrelated stuff). Faulty system is faulty.
As of now, paid bots/antis/whatever you want to call them keep on giving and writing 1* reviews to the show...At some point, Douban will need to get their act together.
Douban 6.9 ~310k votes.Seems a bit low. I thought it would at least break 7.0.
Anyone surprised though? Haters worked extra hard to drag down the ratings. You can't fight a losing battle...Since MLC success, Cheng Yi has unfortunately attracted a bunch of parasites and they're headset in destroying his career 😔
5 episodes in and I'm hooked!! First time I'm watching Tan Song Yun and she doesn't disappoint...her character is really funny+ there's no character I find really annoying for the moment (positive point) and no I'm not tired seeing Hou Ming Hao in a Demon Lord role again. It's like he was born for it 🤭 Looking forward to tomorrow's episodes!
