I hope they abide by the novel's ending so everything will be good!

Nope I have never heard ZLS and Esther Yu being friends. Those were just not fake profiles, they promote their works the whole year, they are just not an account made, they are really active. Few days back as well when ZLS came as a guest in Wang Hedi's music concert, it lead to fights between Esther Yu's fandom and ZLS. Its not a new thing and they were considered competitors hence their fandoms are always at odds.

They have a happy ending in the novel world but later when die of old age they transmigrate back. They do remember each other and reunite. Actually due to censorship rules of China some dramas are forced to do that. But these days the makers are smart and have found loopholes like they ended it well for ADWAD and My Page in the 90s, so yeah hopefully it follows the suit as well.

XYE yes, XYB no!

Nope! The original novel has a happy ending! Don't worry! Till now they are following the novel, if they abide by it throughout, it will be a happy ending!

As an actress she is entitled to all her decisions she makes for her career! She for sure knows what is best for her. I just heard she wants to focus on modern dramas for a while!

But the drama is good, maybe its not to your liking, but that doesn't make the drama bad! Bai Lu plays such a strong character and she is leading the drama here. Plus, it just crossed 9500 in heat index, so its a success as well!
Also honestly, no one is that great to do a drama as a favour to others. She liked the script so she did, she is not answerable to others for that!

Nope, I have nothing against her. I am not a fan, because I have not seen any of her works! I do not stan anyone, I watch dramas for entertainment. If something is not to my liking I just drop it without making an issue about it!
When I said I am thankful its not her, it was just as a reply to that hater, but what I meant was I have seen Wang Churan and Cheng Lei's works before, so I am glad its them not her. But that is not hatred against Esther Yu.

How am I hating on her? I did not criticize her. I like Wang Churan and Cheng Lei, I am glad they are in this drama not her! I am not an Esther Yu fan, but I don't criticize her dramas or her anyhow, people can like their favourites! I am just replying to the one who is hating here. This person even hated on Bai Lu in Unveil Jadewind.
If you are an esther yu fan, take no offence, because though I am not a fan, I am not someone who hates on people without any reason!

Its possible because Zhao Lusi and Esther Yu's fans are constantly in odds with each other!

Yeah possible!

That's the novel version, the drama may or may not change it, we have to wait and see!

ML transmigrated 10 years back, when he was in middle school. He grew up in the palace where he was poisoned, tortured, manipulated by people! As a teenager he was even raped as orchestrated by his step mother, hence has a son! That woman with whom he had a son was then killed, so that Empress Dowager can control the child, so she does! Such incidents made ML a tyrant who never trusted others, till FL came and he found a connection wit her.
FL transmigrated as a grown woman, but ML tells her he did as well like her, in order to hid his pain. They both are supposed to be killed by Prince Duan. Hence they make a plan to defeat him. The whole story is about how they defeat the stepmother and Prince Duan and make the kingdom a happy place to live.
Things might get angsty later, when ML's illness causes him a lot of pain and hence make him behave like a tyrant. But things will end well, they have a partnership. SFL later supports them.
Empress Dowager dies after defeat. Prince Duan gets imprisoned and dies later in jail. Crown Prince tries killing ML and FL hence is kept in house arrest forever. ML and FL have a happy life together as Emperor and Empress. ML gets cured of his poison. That's a happy ending of the novel.
ML after spending a long, dies first, and transmigrates back to the real world, 10 years back when he was a kid. He grows up in the real world with all his memories, takes right decisions, is smart, hence becomes a CEO of a company and waits for FL. FL dies later in the novel world transmigrates back to the subway. They meet, and get reunited. Hence a happy ending in the real world as well!

He is imprisoned! He later dies in the jail!

He was imprisoned, and he spent a lot of time in the jail, eventually passing away there!

There is a lot difference when you read something and when you see it happening! The way ML's eyes shine when he thinks/speaks or looks towards FL! He is so in love, he ignores everything she says just concentrates on the part that she trusts him! As he says "she is his lifeline". He is in love since Day 1. And he doesn't even need to say that, his eyes tell everything!
My God, Cheng Lei the actor you are!!

Exactly! He deserves every good thing!

Very visually pleasing!

They do they do! But you whatever I told you is by novel context! Many things gets censored, so lets see what they tell us, but yeah happy ending for sure if they abide by the novel!

wasn't that the crown princess? I actually don't remember that part well! I was just traumatized by the rape part! But yeah thanks!
