Welcome to the 'Best Character with [X] surname' polls!
This is where I take several characters from different Chinese media (mostly cnovels and cdrama) and run a poll on which one is the 'best'. What does best mean? It's up to you! Whether you love them, are intrigued by their characters, love to hate them, or they're your '2 second blorbos whose personality you made up wholesale', these are all reasons for you to vote for your favs!
NB: the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often they will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.
If you can't find a surname, it's because I couldn't find enough candidates (at least 3 from 3 distinct medias) to compete. Feel free to submit candidates!
I will be posting several polls at a time, so do come back and check this masterpost to remember which polls are ongoing, who the winners are, and who's coming up next!
Finished polls: Xing/Rong/Nan/Ren/Pan/Qu/Fu/Sui/Tan/You/Sima/Xuan/Chang/Xun/Shangguan/Jian/Qian/Shu/Xi/Yuwen/Cai/Sha/Yin/Ceng/Helian/Zeng/Lou/Mi/Ji/Ping/Tong/Tuoba/Ge/Murong/Hei/Niu/Tao/Si/Pang/Zi/Gongsun/Mao/Qing/Lian

Top 6 shelved dramas that I would still really like to see
Ranked in no particular order, selection based on my personal tastes.
1) The Prisoner of Beauty
Tumblr media
Plot : Adapted from the novel "Zhe Yao" by Peng Lai Ke, it tells the story of the arranged marriage between Wei Shao (Liu Yuning) and Qiao Man (Song Zuer). The fun thing about this marriage is that they both hate each other for complicated family reasons (in the novel Qiao Man's family is directly responsible for the death of Wei Shao's father), so they start they relationship by trying to make the life of the other a living hell. Ultimately, their relationship will develop as they are impressed by each other's ingenuity and discover common interests. There is also an important "let's protect the empire and the common people" plot behind the romance.
Why I wish I could see it : It looks good !! The main duo of actors are both really good looking, but the production in general looks really high budget, with good costumes and sets. I would love to see that. Just look at this trailer !
youtube
Why I am not seeing it any time soon : Song Zuer :/ bestie :/ tax evasion is bad !!
Can we have some hope ? : Not really, at this point of time, no c-actors caught for tax evasion managed to make an actual comeback in the industry (even really popular ones like Deng Lun or Fan Bing Bing). Song Zuer is still being investigated, so maybe we can hope to see her name cleared but it's a little unlikely because they don't investigate people just for fun. However Song Zuer was involved in a lot of high budget projects so I am sure a lot of people are really motivated to try to airdrop at least some of her projects if they have the possibility.
2) The Fated General
Tumblr media
Plot : Classic high-budget historical drama telling the story of real life historical figure Huo Qubing (Zhang Ruoyun) during the Western Han Dynasty. It follows his military feats that got him the reputation of being one of the best military generals in the history of China.
Why I wish I could see it : First, the cast is incredible. We have Zhang Ruoyun (famous for being really good at choosing his scripts), Mao Xiao Tong, Bai Yu, Li Hongyi, Xu Yue, and others. It's really an all star cast except the drama was shot in 2016, before some of them became really famous, so it can be really interesting to watch ! Plus it's a really high budget drama, most of the outdoor scenes are shot in real landscape and not in a studio and it globally looks really good. For a better impression, look at this nice looking MV based on the different trailers of the show :
youtube
Why I am not seeing it any time soon : In 2019 (I think ?) the censorship rules changed concerning historical dramas and established the fact that dramas were forbidden to "distort" certain historical facts. This kind of put an end to traditional historical dramas as they became a way more risky investments, and stopped this one from airing as it already took some liberties in terms of storytelling. Huo Qubing is also a semi-controversial historical figure so it is not helping.
Can we have some hope ? : It's been 7 or 8 years and the regulations concerning historical fiction only got more restrictives in China so I would say no.
3) Immortality
Tumblr media
Plot : I'm sure everybody knows the plot of Erha so I don't need to write it but just in case the important tags are : xianxia, dangai, shizunfuckers, reincarnation, blood spitting, stairs, ...
Why I wish I could see it : Outside of the obvious reasons (gay people on my screen, Luo Yunxi spitting blood), it's also produced by the same people involved in the production of Till the End of the Moon and Shui Long Yin, so I have I hopes for the artistic direction of the drama. Also for dmbj fans : did you know Liu Chang played a guest role in this drama ? Idk what he is doing here but I would love to see it.
Why I am not seeing it any time soon : We are all aware of the famous 2021 dangai ban, but in general the chinese government is not a big fan of massive and really agitated fandoms (in the way The Untamed fandom was), so Immortality is in a pretty bad position.
Can we have some hope ? : Yeah !!!!! Hyx TOMORROW !!! Believe in your dreams !!!
For real : Two options. 1) On a random morning of the year 20XX you wake up to danmei fans in your tl losing their marbles bc the 6 first episodes of hyx were randomly airdropped during the night with no promotion and no warnings. You cry some tears of joy and immediately go watch Luo Yunxi spit some blood on screen. 2) After many years hyx is still not out but there were so many leaks that the fans managed to recreate the entire series from scraps and now you can watch it in full. Look, they already started :
youtube
4) Night Wanderer
Tumblr media
Plot : Zong Yin (Ni Ni) is a forensic expert living in Shanghai in 2021. She met, in her own apartment, a man, called Sheng Qing Rang (Deng Lun), claiming to be the owner of this apartment but in 1937. Together they discover that they can travel to their respective time periods through their shared apartment and start to develop a strong relationship, first as confidence and progressively as lovers. However, the situation get complicated as the Battle of Shanghai broke out in 1937 putting both of their lives in danger.
Why I wish I could see it : First, for lesbian reasons as I would never miss an occasion to stare at Ni Ni for 36 episodes (Wang Yuwen also has a supporting role here and I really like her ! Double win !). Second, it's actually a really nice and original plot for a CDrama and I have full confidence in both actors' capacity to pull off a really good performance to go with it. Look at this trailer ! It looks so promising !
youtube
Why I am not seeing it any time soon : Deng Lun !!! Tax evasion is bad !!
Can we have some hope ? : Even less than for The Prisoner of Beauty as Deng Lun is 100% proved to have committed tax evasion. There is often rumors about him coming back to acting but it's unlikely.
5) Winner is King
Tumblr media
Plot : Based on the novel "Sha Po Lang" by Priest, set in a steampunk version of the Liang Dynasty. It tells the story of Chang Geng (Chen Zhe Yuan), a young man living in a random countryside village, who discovers after a raid on their village that the closest people around him were hiding a big secret about his identity. He also discovers that the people around him are not who they pretend to be, especially his yifu (adoptive father, played by Tan Jianci), and realizes that his life will never be the same.
Why I wish I could see it : Outside of the reasons already mentioned in hyx's case, Winner is King is also directed by the same director as Guardian and a Journey to Love. I really like his work and he proved that he was able to do really good things even with a really low budget, so now imagine with a decent amount of money ? It could be great. Also I really like the idea of an ancient china steampunk but I am too lazy to read the book.
Why I am not seeing it any time soon : Same reason as hyx and all the other dangais </3 Also I am not sure of how advanced the production was when it was stopped, because I feel like there are not as many content leaks.
Can we have some hope ? : If we can manifest hard enough the end of the ban, it is possible.
6) The Love of Hypnosis
Tumblr media
Plot : During the end of Qing Dynasty, a (patriotic) young man named Yen Shen (Jing Boran) meets a fragrance shop owner named Lu Man Sheng (Liu Yifei). Man Sheng has the special ability/ mission to relieve the hearts of people suffering because of love, but it does not mean that her own romantic life is easier to deal with. Together they fall in love and have to navigate the really troubled times of the end of Qing Dynasty.
Why I wish I could see it : If you are familiar with Liu Yifei and Jing Boran acting I'm sure you can see the potential of this pairing ??? Just the poster has more on screen chemistry than some pairings have in 40 episodes. At this point the plot could be written by a cat walking on a keyboard and I would still have hope for a good chemistry. Also the drama has Liu Mintao in a supporting role and I am in love with her so it's a plus.
Why I am not seeing it any time soon : First, there are some copyright issues with the original manhwa author. Second, the second male lead, Zhao Lixin, got more or less canceled a few years back for political reasons (sorry I don't have the details).
Can we have some hope ? : I would say maybe a little. Copyright issues can be solved and I've heard that Zhao Lixin is still shooting in dramas, meaning that there is hope for some of his stuff still being released.
That's all <3
Sorry for depressing information maybe ? Next time I promise I will make a post about dramas I am looking forward to and that are likely to be released sooner or later.

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Season 2 Finds Its Joo Dee, Long Feng, The Boulder and Casts ‘Sympathizer’ Star Hoa Xuande (EXCLUSIVE)
Tumblr media
Netflix‘s “Avatar: The Last Airbender” live-action series has added eight actors to the cast of Season 2, Variety has learned exclusively. 
The new cast members are: Chin Han (“Mortal Kombat,” “Skyscraper”), Hoa Xuande (“The Sympathizer,” “Top of the Lake: China Girl”), Justin Chien (“The Brothers Sun,” “The Great Leap”), Amanda Zhou (“Spinning Out,” “The Handmaid’s Tale”), Crystal Yu (“Doctor Who,” “Good Omens”), Kelemete Misipeka (“Sons of Thunder,” “Ray Donovan” ), Lourdes Faberes (“The Sandman,” “Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre”), and Rekha Sharma (“Yellowjackets,” “Battlestar Galactica”). 
Han will play Long Feng, who was the leader of Ba Sing Se secret police, the Dai Li, in the animated Nickelodeon series. Xuande will play Professor Zei, head of the anthropology department at Ba Sing Se University in the original series who was obsessed with finding Wan Shi Tong’s Library.
Chien will play King Kuei, ruler of the Earth Kingdom. Zhou will play Joo Dee, a public servant and guide for important visitors in Ba Sing Se. Yu will play Lady Beifong, Toph’s mother. Misipeka will play The Boulder, a professional earthbending wrestler. Faberes will play General Sung, a high-ranking Earth Army commander. Sharma will play a new character named Amita.
It should be noted that the live-action version has already made several changes to individual characters as well as storylines, so these versions of the characters mentioned above may not correspond exactly to their counterparts in the original show. 
The new additions join returning cast members Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, Dallas Liu, Elizabeth Yu, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Daniel Dae Kim, Momona Tamada and Thalia Tran. It was previously announced that Miya Cech will be joining the series as Toph Beifong.
“Avatar: The Last Airbender” is currently in production at Netflix in partnership with Nickelodeon. Netflix has already renewed the show through Season 3, concluding with the “Book of Fire” just like the animated version.
Jabbar Raisani and Christine Boylan are executive producers and showrunners on the series. Albert Kim, who developed the live-action version, also executive produces along with Dan Lin, Ryan Halprin, and Brendan Ferguson.

The historian Chen Shou wrote in the “Records of the Three Kingdoms” (三国志) that Liu Bei had the style of Liu Bang. And so it occurred to me that if we were to draw parallels:
Liu Bei - Liu Bang
Guan Yu & Zhang Fei - Han Xin
Fa Zheng & Pang Tong - Zhang Liang
Zhuge Liang - Xiao He
But unfortunately, most of this team died and left Zhuge Liang doing the job of three people (no wonder the poor man worked himself to death)
Zhuge Liang during Liu Shan’s reign = Xiao He + Zhang Liang + Han Xin

Red Cliffs Wu Officers Part 1
Hope the translation isn't too bad. No, I didn't use Google Translate but I did use Wiktionary
I feel Wu doesn't get the attention it deserves and I want to change that. Promptly.

Falling Into Your Smile (你微笑时很美) 
Tumblr media
Finally back to writing reviews. I’ve watched many shows since the last time I wrote a review but I was just too lazy to take notes on the episodes and how I felt. I re-watched this show a whole month ago but didn’t get to write the review because I fell into a slump. I’m back though. This show is super popular because it has Xu Kai as the male lead, and honestly, I enjoyed this show a lot the first time I watched it. However, after rewatching the show I can say I still enjoyed the show, yet, I wouldn’t say it was super crazy good like how I felt watching Amidst a Snowstorm of Love and Love Me, Love My Voice, etc. The characters were fun to watch, the plot was all about e-sports (which I actually really enjoyed), but I felt like it was missing something to make the show better. 
My Rating: 7.5/10
Episodes: 31
Country: China
Genre: Romance with E-Sports
Aired: June 23rd, 2021- July 15th, 2021
Cast:
Xu Kai as Lu Si Cheng
Cheng Xiao as Tong Yao
Zhai Xiao Wen as Jiang Yang
Yao Chi as Lu Yue
Rachel Wang as Chen Jin Yang
Zhou Yi Ran as Ai Jia 
Sun Kai as Xiao Peng
Gao Han as Lao K
Xiao Kai Zhong as Lao Mao
Merxat as Yu Ming
Cui Shao Yang as Xiao Rui
Wang Yi Jun as Lee Kun Hyeok 
Synopsis:
All-male ZGDX e-sports team loses a player due to a hand injury. They need to choose a replacement for the team. 
Tong Yao is a popular female gamer who is known for her skill but also recklessness. She got into gaming through her ex-boyfriend who ended up abandoning her for the OPL world. The manager of ZGDX, Xiao Rui, messages Tong Yao an invite into recruiting her for the team. At first she is not welcomed by the team, especially Lu Si Cheng. However, as they continue to interact and live at the base, she forms a closer bond with the team and an even closer bond with Lu Si Cheng, the captain of ZGDX. 
This drama was adapted from the web novel “You’re Beautiful When You Smile” (你微笑时很美) by Qing Mei (青浼). 
Beware of Spoilers Moving Forward!!!!!!!!!
What Episode did the Main Couple Start Dating?
OMg. They literally take a whole third of the show just to establish the fact they are dating. They are officially together in Episode 21.
I don’t mind slow burns, and in this case it was fine because there is a lot of plot in this show in terms of gaming and the e-sports world. There is also just a lot of hesitation between the two, as her ex-boyfriend, Jiang Yang, was also an e-sports professional gamer and they lost contact because of it, and therefore, she originally didn’t want to have a relationship with anyone in the same field. She also hesitates as the fandom is highkey crazy and a lot of people were convinced they were already dating before, and were already shit-talking Tong Yao for “seducing” Si Cheng. 
Si Cheng asks Tong Yao very casually in episode 20 if she wants to try, and she asks “try what?” and he says, me. LOLOLOLOL I almost died here. In episode 21, she thinks he was joking, and was very indecisive on what to do but she almost confessed in a previous episode so I don’t know what she was hesitating for. She then accepts him later in this episode. 
Misunderstandings?
They have a misunderstanding in Episode 17 after Tong Yao gets into a fight at an event with another lady who was in charge of that event. She pushes the lady and that lady makes a whole video accusing Tong Yao of physically hurting her and it goes viral. Tong Yao gets banned for one game. During this time, Si Cheng isn’t talking to her and Tong Yao is butt- hurt about it. He explains later on in Episode 18. 
There’s also another time in Episode 26 where Si Cheng is acting cold and distant with Tong Yao after the harmful package incident with Tong Yao. He ignores her and acts cold with her for days. In Episode 27, Tong Yao asks Si Cheng if they’re breaking up because he’s been cold, however, he consoles her and tells her he’s just angry at himself that he can’t protect her. 
Love Triangles?
LOOOOOOOOOL This show is essentially a harem. Every captain from almost every team loves Tong Yao akjsndkfjsdfs. It was kinda funny. But jokes aside. There really isn’t a love triangle at all. 
Jiang Yang tries to get Tong Yao back, however, she was very set in stone that she wouldn’t take him back. She explains to Jiang Yang that the reason she doesn’t want to get back with him is because he never treated her as someone who could walk alongside him. 
Another funny character who was obsessed with Tong Yao was Kun from FNC, he was soooo funny. I laughed the whole time his character appeared on screen. He just felt like comedic relief tbh. 
Second Leads Romance
OMGGGG. Ai Jia and Jin Yang were so fun to watch honestly. Zhou Yi Ran. my love. My obsession. My fav c-drama actor. Akjsndfkjsnkdfs. Zhou Yi Ran playing Ai Jia was a delight to watch. The first time I watched him was in When I Fly Towards you and his character is so different in Falling Into Your Smile. Their romance was different, but honestly, very true. Jin Yang had no interest in the world of e-sports but she supported Ai Jia throughout it. She ended up buying his team too LOL. and she helped him reconnect with his mom again after she kicked him out for wanting to be a professional e-sports gamer. 
Falling Into Your Smile Ending
Falling Into Your Smile has a happy ending where they win at the finals thanks to Tong Yao. Then, we watch Ai Jia and Jin Yang get married and Tong Yao catches the bouquet. It was a typical sweet ending. 
Falling Into Your Smile Review- A Fun Romance between Gamers
I gave this show a 7.5/10. I enjoyed it thoroughly as it was a fun show to watch with e-sports, friendship, romance, conflicts, etc. If I’m being completely honest the reason why I can’t rate the show any higher is because I just felt the show was mediocre at best. I don’t know how to explain it. I was happy when the main leads got together, and honestly, some of the conflicts were fun to watch and I understood how they dealt with it. However, it was just a fun watch. I can't say that I was obsessed and eager to finish the show. I think the reason I couldn’t enjoy this show to the fullest was because Cheng Xiao’s acting in this show was mediocre at best. She kind of always had a poker face throughout the show aksjbfksds.
The e-sports plot was fun to watch and I did really enjoy that part of the show as this was my first time seeing a plot like this. The fandom being crazy for the guys were super real, the chronic injuries that professional e-sports gamers face was shown, the stigma of being a professional gamer was also explored. I really appreciated and enjoyed these arcs in the story. 
Falling Into Your Smile is a fun watch where you see pro-gamers explore the world of romance, team bonding, dealing with societal stigmas on gaming, etc. I did enjoy the show and it was a cute, fun watch and I didn’t regret the time I took to watch it.

In service to Wang Mang 2 (HHS)
(Including the early travails of Ma Yuan)
[HHS022]
Jing Dan, courtesy name Sunqing, was a native of Liyang in Pingyi. As young he studied in Chang'an. At the time of Wang Mang he studied the Four Categories.
The Eastern Watchtower Records says: In the time of Wang Mang they lifted up scholars of the schools of Virtuous Acts, Able Speech,Thoroughness in Government Affairs, and Clarity in Writing.
Dan for his ability in speech became Chancellor to the Marquis of Gude, and was praised for having the capacity to manage affairs. He moved to Deputy to the Joint Leader of Shuodiao.
Shuodiao is Shanggu. Deputy is Dependant Prefect.
[HHS023]
Dou Rong, courtesy name Zhougong, was a native of Pingling in Fufeng. His seventh generation ancestor Guangguo was August Empress Xiaowen's younger brother, and was ennobled Marquis of Zhangwu. Rong's great-great-grandfather in the time of Emperor Xuan as a Two Thousand Shi official moved from Changshan to there.
Rong was orphaned young. In the middle of Wang Mang's administration, he became Marshal to the General of Strong Crossbows, went east to strike Zhai Yi, and turned back to attack Huaili. For his merit with the army he was ennobled Baron of Jianwu.
The General of Strong Crossbows was Mang's Marquis of Mingyi, Wang Jun. Zhao Ming, Huo Hong, and other of Huaili rose up with troops in response to Zhai Yi. Wang Yi and others routed Zhai Yi and turned back. The combined army struck Ming, Hong, and others, and wiped them out. Rong at the time was accompanying that army, see the Book of Han. The Eastern Watchtower Records and the Continued Book of Han both state he became Baron of Ningwu.
His younger sister became the junior wife of the Great Minister of Works, Wang Yi. He had his family within Chang'an, and set out to enter among the nobles and their kin. He formed connections with prominent and outstanding of his hamlet, and became famous due to his reliance on chivalry. However, he served his mother and older brother and raised his younger brother, and within cultivated acting with right-mindedness.
[HHS024]
Ma Yuan, courtesy name Wenyuan, was a native of Maoling in Fufeng. His ancestor Zhao She was a Zhao general and was titled Lord of Mafu. His sons and grandsons following that used it as their clan. In the time of Emperor Wu, [the family] as Two Thousand Shi officials, moved from Handan to there.
The Eastern Watchtower Records says: They moved to Chenghuan Village in Maoling.
His great-grandfather Tong for his merit was ennobled Marquis of Zhonghe. He was implicated in his older brother Heluo's rebellion and was executed. For that reason Yuan's two generations were not distinguished.
Ma Heluo was good friends with Jiang Yun. When Yun was executed, he consequently feared the crime would reach himself, planned rebellion, and submitted to execution. For the affair, see the Book of Han.
Yuan's grandfather and father did not manage to do distinguished service. In the Eastern Watchtower Han Records, Tong begot Bin, who in the time of Emperor Xuan as Gentleman Holding the Tally was titled Envoy Lord. The Envoy Lord begot Zhong, Zhong's official position reached Marshal of Dark Martiality. Zhong begot Yuan.
Yuan had three older brothers, Kuang, Yu, and Yuan#. All had talent and ability, and in the time of Wang Mang all became Two Thousand Shi officials.
The Eastern Watchtower Records says: Kuang, courtesy name Changping [or Zhangping?]. Yu, courtesy name Shengqing. Yuan, courtesy name Jizhu.
Kuang became Grand Warden of Henan, Yu Colonel of the Central Ramparts. Yuan# Joint Leader of Zengshan.
Yuan was orphaned at the age of twelve. As young he had great aspirations, his older brothers were amazed by him. He once received the Qi Poetry, but his thoughts were unable to hold on to its chapters and sentences.
The Eastern Watchtower Records says: He received the Qi poetry, his teacher was Man Chang of Yingchuan.
He therefore explained to Kuang, and wished to go to a border commandery and engage in farming and herding.
The Eastern Watchtower Records says: Yuan, since Kuang had set out to become Grand Warden of Henan, and his next two older brothers were officials in the Capital City, saw that the family's means were not sufficient. Therefore he explained to Kuang his wish to go to a border commandery and engage in livestock herding.
Kuang said:
You have great talent and will successful later on. A good craftsman does not show people the raw materials, follow what you are fond of.
It happened that Kuang passed. Yuan wore mourning clothes for the full year and did not leave the place where the tomb was. He respectfully served his widowed sister-in-law, and he did not put on his cap or enter the house.
Later he became the commandery's Courier Supervisor, and sent off prisoners the Minister of Instructions' Office. There was a prisoner who had committed a serious crime. Yuan had sympathy for him, and released him, and thereupon became a fugitive in the northern lands. There was an amnesty, following that he stayed behind to herd livestock. There were many retainers who returned to adhere to him, and consequently his servants and dependants numbered several hundred families.
The Continued Book of Han: Yuan went beyond the northern lands, and relied on herding the clan's livestock. Since Yuan's grandfather Bin originally had stayed in Tianshui, and his father also once had been Prefect of the Herdsmen Teachers. At that time Yuan# had become Envoy for Protecting Pastures, and for that reason the retainers all relied on Yuan.
He shifted and drifted between Long and Han, and often spoke to his retainers, saying:
When a grown man has aspirations, destitution will increase his firmness, age will increase his sturdiness
Following that, he settled to engage in farming and herding, and reached to have several thousand heads of cattle, horses and sheep, and several ten thousand hu of grain. Then he sighed and said:
In general, the growth of goods, wealth and property, is prized for its ability to distribute relief. If not, then [you] are a prisoner to defending money, and that is all.
He therefore fully distributed it to his brothers and old friends, and personally wore sheep fur clothes and hide trousers.
At the end of Wang Mang, when troops rose in the four regions, Mang's junior cousin, the General of Guards, broadly summoned the valiant and outstanding, and then nominated Yuan and Yuan She of the same county to be staff members, and recommended them to Mang. Mang used She as Great Governor of Zhenrong and Yuan as Great Governor of Xincheng.
Wang Mang changed Tianshui to be Zhenrong and Grand Warden to be Great Governor. He changed Hanzhong to be Xincheng.
