Lots of crack smoked. I’ve never seen a score so low.

honestly i don't understand why the rating is so low especially in douban, like WTF..

I honestly think most of the bad reviews are because they didn't bring back the original cast. People are petty as hell. I get that there is disappointment in a recast (I was bummed myself) but what were they supposed to do when the originals were unavailable or refused to take part? But this cast is doing an amazing job. People need to stop nitpicking every freaking thing just because things didn't necessarily go their way

I’ve finished watching Episodes 26–27, and I absolutely loved these episodes! They were so satisfying and emotional to watch. One of my favorite moments was when Chu Qiao was saved by Zhuge Yue—that scene was truly powerful and showed how much they mean to each other.
It was also amazing to see Chu Qiao become the Queen of Ximeng. She looked so beautiful and elegant, especially with the Ximeng hairstyle—it really suited her and highlighted her strong yet graceful presence. I love how she showed so much care and concern for King Ximeng, Zhuge Yue. Their relationship feels deeper and more meaningful in these episodes.
As a couple, they look so perfect together. Every scene they share is a joy to watch—their chemistry, teamwork, and the way they support and protect each other make their bond even more special. Whether in emotional moments or action scenes, they always shine together.
Zhuge Yue is as handsome and charismatic as ever, and Chu Qiao continues to impress with her strength and beauty. Both the male lead and female lead are truly amazing, especially when they’re side by side, facing challenges and helping each other.
I really hope their story continues to grow and that they fully become a couple with more beautiful moments together. I’m definitely looking forward to the next episodes!

I did the same I never pay attention to people’s negative comments I watch a show and determine for myself whether I’m going to like it or not. So far I’m on episode 25 so obviously something worked.

I continued watching this beautiful Rebirth Chinese drama, and I’m really thankful that I didn’t let the negative comments influence me—I chose to judge it for myself, and I’m so glad I did. I ended up truly enjoying it.
Zhuge Yue, as the male lead, is incredibly handsome in every scene. He perfectly embodies the character, bringing both strength and mystery to the role. His acting is amazing, and his martial arts and swordsmanship are truly impressive—every fight scene feels powerful and captivating.
I also love that I gave a chance to Chu Qiao. She is not only pretty but also very talented. Despite being a younger actress, she delivers her role so well. Her acting shows great potential, and her martial arts skills are outstanding. She brings both strength and emotion to her character, making her performance enjoyable to watch.
Together, they are an amazing pair. Their chemistry, teamwork, and presence on screen make every scene more engaging. They truly complement each other as the main leads.
Overall, I’m really happy I continued watching this drama. It keeps getting better, and I’m excited for the upcoming episodes!

Don’t try too hard to relate it to the previous drama—the opposite works better. The story isn’t very well connected to the prequel, and you’ll lose a lot if you force the connection to PA. But if you view the drama as separate from PA, it’s actually a much better watch and a strong series. Especially in the later episodes, you’ll get hooked. For me, that happened after episode 9—I couldn’t stop watching after that, as the tension keeps rising. The quality, the attachment to the protagonists, and the dislike of the antagonists all increase as well. I really hope this continues all the way to the end of the drama. So far (episode 25), I’m not disappointed—on the contrary, I’m glad I gave this drama a chance on its own rather than as a sequel to PA.

PS: btw it is a heavy drama with lots of killed characters. Some baddies you'll love to see getting punnished but also some good characters you will miss...

1. Yes, unfortunately, between the SML-->FL <-> ML. The SML has an obsessive crush on the FL. I hate love triangles but here in this drama it is not as annoying as elswhere because it is a substancial part of the main plot.

2. No

Jing Xiaoba spells trouble. I never like her in PA because she seems always angry and envious with her sister. Chu Qiao looks very happy to see her, I hope she doesn't do anything stupid huhu

Li Yun Rui does full justice to Zhuge Yue. Waiting for his more dramas

Just finished ep 5 & it's so goooooooddddddddd...Li Yun Rui is perfect as Zhuge Yue. Liking how new characters are introduced too. The director's style is suiting the story or I should say the story is unfolding well. Going thru comments here about later episodes andit looks like it'll get even better💖

Does anyone know if Chu Qiao became pregnant

I hope Li Yun Rui, keeps getting great roles. Zhuge Yue is fun to watch !!

Queen Chu Qiao is so gorgeous in her Ximeng Hairstyle . Love it 😍

The way Zhuge Yue's grandfather tried to manipulate and put all the blame to his grandson for the deeds in the past, just to make him agree to return to Qing Shan Manor is sickening. However, I wish Zhuge Yue will tell Xing Er everything soon to prevent unnecessary arguments in the future.
