even for a character like Mei Zhuyu

Xu Kai and his sword, such a treat
They can't take Mei Zhuyu's sword from him. Doesn't the sword recognize their master?
Mei Zhuyu has never felt joy, never had desires, never looked forward to future, didn't really like living, until he met Wu Zhen, but he did have a master who raised him, he must love him.
Those sect people are bunch of mean people. no wonder Mei Zhuyu didn't care about life. But his master was so different. I can't connect that. How can a kind master have presided over a bunch cold-hearted sect members.
I like the master character but he's not very serious,
I love how their robes ripple about
The actor who plays Pei did a great job

Weibo rating 8.3, I wonder how many users?
5 - 51.2%
4 - 17.8%
3 - 22.6%
2 - 7.6%
1 - 0.8%

the visuals are amazing
mei zhuyu 's mission was to confirm existence of the demon city in Chang'an
one of the sect disciples has a creepy voice! if I run into that voice, I'm running away
ah so it was true love at first sight, the day he came into Chang'an

for me the turning point or the curtain fell on first half was after the escape from the formation and mei zhuy had confess, after that second half shows he has changed, the person has different outlook on life, and wants to marry her

she doesn't love him

i think that's the way it usually is in literature, in storytelling. Prince charming, Knight in shining armor,

she's only half demon, as human, she has family so she can marry and demons live a very long life,

he has the most expressive eyes. his gaze is mesmerizing.

in the novel it was really quick and no big deal

why? why? why?

Yunhe, Kuyun, and Datawin do not consistently or comprehensively include IPTV viewership in the way CVB does. IPTV is TV watched through internet providers like China Telecom or China Mobile using a set-top box. It’s super common in China, especially in older or rural households. These viewers don’t post online, but they watch in huge numbers — and CVB includes them. That’s why CVB can rank a show high even if it’s not trending online.

CVB doesn’t just count views — it measures how widely a show is watched, shared, and discussed across platforms. So even if This Thriving Land had more viewers, Moonlit Reunion might rank higher for generating more excitement, replays, and media buzz.

Though Moonlit Reunion isn’t on CCTV, it reaches millions through IPTV — a quieter but broader channel used by households across China via telecom providers like China Telecom and China Mobile. These viewers may not post online, but they watch consistently, which CVB values highly.

CVB (China Video Communication Index) tracks total communication power across CCTV, satellite channels, IPTV, streaming platforms, media coverage, and telecom ecosystems. It often ranks shows differently than Yunhe or Datawin, which focus on internet buzz and update daily. CVB’s data is cumulative and its scoring method isn’t public, so results can seem surprising.

Some shows also benefit from government or institutional support, boosting their visibility. Producers often release dramas across multiple platforms to reach different audiences — IPTV for older or rural viewers, streaming apps for younger, urban ones. That broad reach can lift a show’s CVB score even if it’s not trending online.

In short: CVB = total reach and influence. Yunhe/Datawin = internet popularity.

Here's the post on X. It looks like an official ranking.

wow that late

why would anyone send you their personal email? Do you have insider information?

That’s all? Only 2 out of 50 bored you? That doesn't say much for your taste.

Why so subtle? Just say 0.8333

maybe and maybe not. tom is a cat so that matches. jerry is a mouse, unless he or she means Mei Zhuyu is a mouse, but the mouse is quite cunning in Tom and Jerry so from point of view of Jerry, it's actually a compliment, Tom only caught Jerry on a few occasions after decades of chasing. But from point of view of a mouse, it's an insult as mice are supposedly timid, shy, they run away, think of "timid as a mouse." but I don't' think he or she means they are tom and jerry, probably just means the show is like tom and jerry, all chase no payoff. It's quite insulting but that is as deep as it gets.

he or she means the series is like watching the famous American cartoon Tom (cat) and Jerry (mouse) where Tom tries to catch Jerry, but Jerry is always one step ahead of Tom.
I interpret it to mean “This show is flashy and fun, but ultimately hollow because cartoon characters chase each other that's all they do every episode, it's mindless so I take it to mean no meaningful growth or payoff, and the rating is only decent despite superstar actors, this is as good as it gets, even with superstars, it's coasting on fame rather than quality. He or she is saying 7.6 is as good as these actors can get, forget the quality, there isn't any. It's veiled and harsh.
