Just for fun, imagine if a less handsome actor were cast as Tian Ming. The hate he’s been getting would multiply a hundredfold. While I can admit that he’s a talented actor, the way people are justifying every one of his actions is absolutely absurd. If the genders were reversed and a second female lead (SFL) were doing the same terrible things he’s doing, most of the female audience here would be out for her blood. They wouldn’t care that she had also suffered for 10,000 years like Tian Ming. It’s amazing how much a pretty face and a predominantly female audience can shift the perspective on a character’s actions.
And yes, I know most of that audience will now be out for my blood too—just because I dared to present a logical point.
NEVER listen to MDL ratings, honestly they mean nothing. It's a really good series
I will give you some reasons for that. For clarification, drama opinions are subjective. Just because you liked something doens't mean others will like it too and vice versa. The below opinons are just my take on why the dramas deserved low endings. Maybe most of the people agree with me that's why the ratings are so low.
1. Cheer Up: SML kissed FL without her consent while she was drunk even while knowing that she isn't in love with him. He didn't even apologize to her. They even were friends till the end which doesn't make sense. Most of the comments were even praising him just because he was good looking and was proactive in his love for FL but that doesn't excuse his behaviour.
2. Cheese in the Trap: Here the makers tried to become oversmart and deleted many of the scenes from the manhwa that were essential for the character growth of ML just to give more screentime to SML just because he was gaining more attraction for them.
3. Nevertheless: This one I liked a lot but I can see the glaring issues here too. The ML didn't change in the end even after the break up which doesn't make. He was still seen flirting in the end.
4. Warm and Cozy: The ML's character was written too toxic here while in the name of love. The push and pull between the leads also took too long. The name of drama is Warm and Cozy but the drama is far from that which felt misleading.
5. Because It’s the First Time: Dont know about this as I haven't watched it yet.
6. Doona!: I was really liking this drama till ep-5 or 6 but then the manager appeared and FL started behaving like a different person. She didn't apologize for leaving so abruptly with her manager without giving any explanation to ML. She even asks for an apology from him. How can the ML even trust her to not to do the same in the future. She needed a serious psychiatrist rather than continuing her idol work again. Even the end was so ambiguous. If you are trying to make the leads go through so much then at least show conclusive ending for the leads rather than whatever it was.
I felt the FL deserved more punishment in this one. She got off far too easily, especially since she was directly responsible for the death of the ML's family. The ML should have been harsher with her, and it would have made more sense if he had even gone after her parents. That would have been satisfying to watch. But, as we know, MLs in these dramas never do that. Even if the FL cheats on them, they still end up forgiving her.
In the novel, the Duke was another part of emperor. He had split his souls into Duke and Emperor
It's not properly explained in the novel tbh but I think it's because she is too naive and silly for political schemes against him that's why he liked her. He has some affections for her like XQA's father has for him but for these guys, their goals matter most than their children/grand children
Your guess is correct. In the novel, he was XQA's father
He is a bad guy. He wanted to steal the fortune that was in XQA (which had been stolen from the palace). He was also the one who wanted XQA moved out of the capital to Yunzhou due to some minute filial pity.
She is the state preceptor who is 2nd rank in the realm sect iirc. The emperor wants to do dual cultivation with…
I'm 💯 sure there will be a season 2 because still half the story from the novel is left. There are many mysteries that haven't been solved yet so don't worry we will get it.

Till ep-32 we haven't seen her yet. We will see her soon though as she is a imp character in the novel or maybe the makers will save her for the next season
And yes, I know most of that audience will now be out for my blood too—just because I dared to present a logical point.

The emperor we are currently seeing is not Yuanjing but rather Yuanjing's father. He used dark means to possess his son's body to gain immortality.
