Maybe it's when Hepan betrayed him, because that was when he was this weak... or else I don't remember him being so weak in the novel... idk about the changes the drama made tho...

I hope we get an OST where both Hou Minghao and Esther sing... both of them have beautiful voices, and I am sure the OST would be more beautiful with both their voices in.

I have seen all of the clips of his performances and his interactions with fans... he is truly a very talented gentleman who loves his fans and also has a veryyy beautiful voice... his high notes were soooo good... ohhh!! Today I think he did that pushups while singing... bruhhh!!! DAMNNNN!!!

They are already filming a drama together... so I don't think so

What I know is that it isn't finalised... It's all rumours, right? Or is it truly finalised? If yes, then who's the ML along with Esther?

I am sorry, but may I ask what her next drama is?

The drama has already made quite a few changes from the novel. For example, Chunyü and Hepan’s marriage never happened in the novel, but it has been added to the drama.

Calling something 'disturbing' is still just your personal opinion, not a fact, and millions of viewers clearly disagree given her massive success and industry standing. For your information, I watch a TON of C-dramas with many different actors and actresses, so I know very well how diverse the industry is and how different roles work. I'm a fan of many actresses, not just Esther. But it's obvious you are so obsessed with her 'cute' voice that you can't stop ranting about it every single day. You claim to support Neo, but instead of actually talking about him or his work, you're spending all your time and energy leaving negative paragraphs about Esther. If you really care about supporting him, focus on his projects instead of lecturing other people on how to think.

Honestly, you’re just hating on Esther and nothing else... I don't even think you’re a Hou Minghao fan. Your only talking point is 'she acts cute, old men like it,' blah, blah, blah. Don't rant about the exact same thing every single day, you’re just making this place negative.
If you actually want to hear Esther’s mature voice, go watch My Journey to You, Road to Success, or her upcoming Yun Chu’s Vengeance. But I know you won't watch them, because if you do, your points will be proven wrong and those dramas will be a tight slap to your face.

Well, for changing the cast, an official announcement is required... we need to wait till the official announcement of the cast members is made... after that, the cast members will change

I submitted my edit to add all the cast members, but it has not yet been reflected. Maybe later on it will... idk

If anyone wants to read the full novel, then they can do so here:
LONGING FOR MY BELOVED- https://mydramanovel.com/shen-xian-rou/

Its till 80 chs. The extra 11 chs r just repetition of the previous scenes.

If you think an internet hate campaign from a few years ago can stop a drama, you don't understand C-ent data or global market mechanics. Esther Yu is a certified traffic queen with 50+ billion views tied to her name on Douyin, and Hou Minghao is a viral hitmaker whose individual clips easily pull in hundreds of millions of views. Anti-fans spent months pushing the family business controversy, yet her dramas still break records, dominate the charts, and pull massive investments. Investors pair them because their combined Douyin and Weibo power is elite, and both absolutely deserve the spot. The bizarre theory that she only appeals to 'old men' completely falls apart the second you look at the corporate money funding her career. Major international corporations do not invest millions into an actress based on internet rumours, they look at cold, hard demographic data. Her massive fanbase consists overwhelmingly of young, trendy women with incredible purchasing power, which is why she is continuously chosen to represent elite global brands. Brand Ambassador for Givenchy, House Ambassador for Moschino, and Brand Spokesperson for Sam Edelman, Official Brand Spokesperson for Tissot.Beauty & Cosmetics, Global Brand Ambassador for Out Of Office (OOO) and the first-ever Brand Ambassador for Joocyee, Global Ambassador for streaming giant iQIYI International, as well as the face of massive brands like Ubras, Maia Active, Nestlé (Nescafe & Crispy Shark), and Alibaba’s Fliggy. Global luxury fashion, beauty, and lifestyle houses do not build their entire marketing strategies around pleasing 'old men', they target independent young women who want to emulate her high-energy, confident style. The complaints you see on international apps are just a loud, tiny minority bubble. The actual industry data and corporate backing prove she is a powerhouse mainstream star, and this project is going to be massive.
