So far, the plot of "The East Palace" has reached its final stage.
The male protagonist succeeded in his bid for the throne, his adoptive mother the Queen was killed, and the powerful minister Gao Xiang was also arrested, leaving only a few remnants. The male protagonist took control of the power and began to have a certain degree of conflict with the Emperor.
At the same time, key points in the story of the male and female protagonists began to appear.
The heroine finally recovered her memory! Before this, the hero and the heroine had been together for a long time and fell in love again. Especially the hero, he regarded the heroine as his only spiritual harbor.
The heroine also deeply loves the hero, but she is a little conflicted because her amnesia is less severe than the hero's, so she often thinks of her old love [Gu Xiaowu].
This Gu Xiaowu is the pseudonym that the male protagonist used to deceive the female protagonist, but both the male and female protagonists have lost their memories.
The two people's various entanglements, jealousies and misunderstandings surrounding this [Gu Xiaowu] make the audience feel both sour and refreshing, but also look forward to what will happen when the two regain their memories.
This time, the heroine finally recovered her memory unexpectedly. When she realized that she had become the crown princess of the enemy who had exterminated her clan, she even fell in love with the hero again. Her mentality collapsed, and she regarded the hero as a devil. She was unwilling to get close to him and was even full of murderous intent.
The male protagonist, who has not yet recovered his memory, was puzzled and thought that the female protagonist was instigated by the second male protagonist.
Then the classic scene came. The heroine was injured and sleeping, and the hero was waiting beside her while busy with government affairs. As a result, the heroine had a dream, in which she called Gu Xiaowu with a sweet and beautiful expression.
When the heroine woke up and saw the gloomy face of the hero, she immediately showed hatred and resistance.
This blatant double standard treatment made the male protagonist extremely angry, and he couldn't help but question who the female protagonist Gu Xiaowu was and who he was.
The heroine was heartbroken when she saw the hero, and she also knew that the hero's memory had not been restored, so she expressed her feelings and deliberately angered the hero, saying that Gu Xiaowu was the man she loved the most and the man who loved him the most. The hero became furious.
Ai Yan, who was sitting in front of the computer, had tears in her eyes as she watched the film. The plot design of this section was quite ingenious.
The heroine is confessing her love for the hero, but the hatred between them makes her feel like she is cutting her own heart when she says this.
The male protagonist was extremely jealous and wanted to kill Gu Xiaowu as soon as possible, but this was actually the female protagonist expressing her love for him.
One of the two people is in love but cannot get it, and the other is loved but does not know it, which further solidifies their ill-fated fate.
The audience in front of the screen, who are in a God's perspective, understand the two people's intentions, positions and experiences, and the more so, the more painful it is to see this scene.
"It's over, it's over. I have a bad feeling that Wei Yang will be throwing knives like crazy in the next few episodes."
Luo Yijia also had this hunch. The content of the original novel had been almost spoiled by his girlfriend. Although the TV series had made a lot of adaptations, the general framework had not changed, and the conflict between the male and female protagonists could not be properly resolved, so the possibility of a tragic ending was very high.
As a fan of both the male and female protagonists, Luo Yijia was somewhat resistant to this ending, but was reluctant to give up.
The same thing happened to my girlfriend Ai Yan. She cursed and complained, and felt sorry for the heroine. She didn't dare to watch the ending, but her eyes never left the screen.
The content of these two episodes is about power struggles. The struggle between the male protagonist and the emperor and his son becomes increasingly intense, and the emperor even intends to replace the crown prince.
As for the love line, the heroine resists him in various ways and falls deeply in love with "another man" Gu Xiaowu.
The male protagonist, who was unaware of the truth, mistook Gu Xiaowu for his most trusted right-hand man cousin, the second male lead, Gu Jian.
The "betrayal" of the three closest people, father, lover, and brother, made the protagonist's temperament increasingly gloomy, and he fell into a dark state.
He began to plot against the emperor's favorite concubine, who was the daughter of the powerful minister Gao Xiang and was highly favored by the emperor. After Gao Xiang was arrested, he had been waiting for an opportunity to rescue her.
The male protagonist simply killed Prime Minister Gao and put the blame on the emperor, taking advantage of the hatred of the favorite concubine. It would be best to kill him, but if he couldn't be killed it would still be a big blow.
At the same time, the male protagonist began to secretly control the Imperial Guards. If the situation gets bad, he will stage the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
At the same time, the male protagonist, who began to imagine the "hatred of having his wife stolen" by his cousin, the second male lead, Gu Jian, also developed the intention to kill him.
But Gu Jian felt guilty for deceiving the heroine in the first place. Knowing that she wanted to leave, he wanted to help her fulfill her wish and prepared to find a way to kidnap her and return to Xizhou.
There is no doubt that this touched the protagonist's sore spot. No matter out of love for the protagonist or the face of the royal family, he would not let this happen.
So, in front of the female protagonist, the male protagonist shot the second male lead, Gu Jian, to death with a volley of arrows.
Even when he saw the heroine was sad and begging, he forced the heroine's face with resentment in his heart, forcing her to watch the second male lead being shot to death.
"Oh, shit."
Luo Yijia was really shocked when he saw this scene. Although it could be seen from the previous plot that the male protagonist wanted to kill someone, he didn't expect him to be so cruel, killing in front of the female protagonist, and it was a brutal massacre.
Seeing the heroine crying heartbrokenly, Ai Yan couldn't help but shed tears and angrily scolded the hero for being cruel.
"You can't blame Li Chengyin for this. From his perspective, his good brother cheated on him and even ran away with the Crown Princess without caring about the royal family's reputation. It wouldn't be a big deal if he was skinned alive."
"I know, but Gu Jian is here to atone for his sins. He really wants to save Xiao Feng. If he stays any longer, Xiao Feng will die."
"Indeed, a dead end."
Luo Yijia felt a little sad. Although the second male lead’s behavior seemed stupid, it was indeed logical.
After the heroine regained her memory, she was just trying to survive in the palace every day. If she stayed any longer, she would die. That's why the second male lead was willing to risk his own life to rescue her and give her freedom.
He is partly responsible for the heroine's tragedy. She is not worthy of sympathy, but it is hard to hate her. However, seeing her tragic death, one still wants to cry.
…
Ai Yan was not the only one crying! The love-hate relationship between the male and female protagonists of "Eastern Palace", the death of the second male lead, and the crazy and sad plot made the audience cry.
As of this episode, the average viewership rating of "The East Palace" is 3.76. The ratings of the two episodes last night were 3.10 and 3.41 respectively, and the market share is probably over 12%.
On Sohu.com, the total number of views of the entire drama "Eastern Palace" has exceeded 850 million, ranking first in online popularity.
These days, the data on online playback volume has not been inflated wildly. Although the calculation methods of each platform are different, overall, data that can exceed 100 million in a short period of time is quite good.
The dramas that have accumulated over 1 billion views on the entire network are all classic old dramas and annual hits.
"The East Palace" has only been aired for less than a month, and it is an exclusive to Sohu. In addition, the TV platform is very popular, which are factors that affect the playback data.
Even so, "Eastern Palace" is expected to achieve a monthly box office of over 1 billion, and Sohu is so happy.
After the two episodes of "Eastern Palace" were released yesterday, the number of views approached 5 million in a short period of time. Coupled with the TV series' ratings exceeding 3, one can imagine the level of discussion about these two episodes.

There were countless discussions about the characters and plots, and even more arguments about who was on opposite sides of the characters.
It even became popular on Weibo to post selfies of themselves crying while watching "The East Palace". Many netizens posted photos of themselves crying bitterly or with red noses and eyes after watching the drama.
What’s interesting is that not only are there many girls crying, but there are also quite a few photos of grown men, and quite a few of them were secretly taken by their friends and girlfriends.
While the jokes were funny, many people were also fed dog food.
At first, the photo-sharing activity was just a spontaneous activity by some netizens who were fans of the drama. Later, even many celebrities followed suit, such as Taiwanese singer Rainie Yang, popular young actress Saozi Lu, and host Wu Jinbala, which also added fuel to the fire of this activity.
Even the print media reported it - because of "Eastern Palace", this year has become the saddest Spring Festival...
The subsequent plot also continued the tone of these two episodes, with the male and female protagonists continuing to love and hate each other.
In order to win back the heart of the heroine, the hero even gave up his long-held belief of putting the country first to a certain extent, and was willing to risk his life in order to make the heroine fall in love with him.
However, in the face of the hero's undisguised love, the heroine always avoids and resists.
No matter how the hero coaxed the heroine at the beginning, now it seems like he has to pay back a debt. No matter how he tries to please and show his love, even at the cost of giving up his status as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, he is still rejected. It's so miserable.
Many viewers felt happy but also sad, and at this point, everyone hopes that the hero and heroine can have a happy ending.
So many netizens went to Wei Yang’s Weibo to throw a tantrum, hoping that the ending would not be a tragedy.
This is obviously impossible. The drama has been filmed and cannot be changed. Everyone understands this, so the style quickly turned into condemnation and criticism.
Previously, "Twinkle Twinkle Star" made everyone cry, and now it is being cut.
I curse you to eat instant noodles without seasoning packets, small umbrellas full of pinholes, and buns filled with coriander...
Wei Yang: “…”
What kind of hatred or grudge is there to warrant such a vicious curse? Besides, he is just a screenwriter of "Eastern Palace" and the novel has its own original work, so he cannot change the plot at will.
Wei Yang easily passed the blame on, and because of the popularity of "Eastern Palace" during this period, Fei Wo Si Cun, who was happily counting money every day, became the new target.
How could an author write a protagonist so miserable? She is simply a stepmother's stepmother! Fei Wo Si Cun: "..."
She really couldn't refute this because she was the one who wrote the plot.
But to be honest, the original novel deserves a lot of credit for making everyone suffer so badly, but Wei Yang's adaptation and production are the greatest contributors. Even she, the author, sometimes feels so heartbroken that she is speechless when watching the show.
So, Fei Wo Si Cun praised the crew of "Eastern Palace" and Wei Yang on Weibo, and then put the blame back.
Wei Yang didn't buy it at all and praised Fei Wo Si Cun. The key point was that the tragedy had nothing to do with him and it was all the author's fault.
There are many cases where the original authors and producers compete for credit, and it is also common for them to complain about the content of the work to each other, but it is really a strange sight that such commercial mutual praise is just to shift the blame and avoid being criticized.
"The East Palace" has also become a rare project in which the original author, book fans, drama fans, and production team are all in harmony and everyone is happy.
After considering "The East Palace", Fei Wo Sicun's fame and value skyrocketed.
Many of the plots of the last part of the Zhenhua trilogy, "Hello, Old Times", were also based on the original online novel that was rewritten in the time and space of August Chang'an, and then combined with some magical changes. It can also be regarded as a film and television adaptation of an online novel.
After this drama, August Changan became famous and his career reached a new level.
The two online literary works were adapted, the quality was guaranteed, and the authors received fame and fortune. Unknowingly, Wei Yang had become the white moonlight in the hearts of many online literary authors...
