Was Wang Zhengjun not the female lead?
How could she be so meek, enduring grievances and not fighting back when bullied? It was infuriating to watch.
After years of watching dramas, audiences had grown extremely tired of the doormat female lead trope.
Yet, Wang Zhengjun was a perpetually patient turtle, choosing to endure no matter how she was hurt.
Initially, when the audience saw the female lead being bullied, they thought that the more she suffered now, the more satisfying her revenge would be later.
With this mindset, they continued watching, eagerly awaiting Wang Zhengjun's transformation into an antagonist, her all-out rampage, and her fierce retribution against Fu Yao.
They waited and waited. From Crown Princess to Empress, from Empress to Empress Dowager, the female lead never turned.
She somehow endured all the way to the position of Empress Dowager through sheer patience.
Upon reaching this point, the audience was so enraged they nearly smashed their televisions.
Damn it, they had followed the show for so long just to see the female lead embrace her dark side, unleash her full power, and crush those who had wronged her.
But even after becoming Empress Dowager, she hadn't changed at all. What kind of story was this!
Just as the audience was about to abandon the series, Jiang Ling and Yaya, playing the Zhao sisters, made their dazzling entrance.
One portrayed as pure and the other radiant, they immediately captured the attention of countless viewers.
In the entertainment industry, beauty is justice.
These two actresses, with their exceptional looks, portraying Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede, seemed as if they had stepped right out of a history book.
Yaya's Zhao Feiyan immediately stole the show, stunning the audience with her breathtaking palm dance.
【Holy crap, dancing on the palm!】
【A historical legend, Feiyan was so light she could dance on a palm. I thought it was just a myth, but it's actually real. Amazing!】
【Oh my god, that dance was superb, I love it so much!】
【Ancient people often used 'swallow thin, Huan plump' to describe a woman's beauty. Huan plump refers to Yang Yuhuan, and swallow thin refers to Zhao Feiyan. Her waist is so slender!】
【Sister's waist isn't a waist, it's a deadly scimitar!】
【Ahhhh, Yaya is so beautiful, and her dance is wonderful. If I were Emperor Cheng of Han, I'd want to be a foolish emperor for her too!】
【Just for Zhao Feiyan's role, no matter how much I dislike the female lead, I'll keep watching.】
The audience in front of their screens, mesmerized by Zhao Feiyan's palm dance, unanimously decided against abandoning the show and continued watching.
With the appearance of the Zhao sisters, the popularity of "The Virtuous Queen of Han" surged.
While Zhao Feiyan's palm dance was undeniably captivating and elicited widespread praise,
as the drama unfolded, not only Emperor Cheng but also the audience's gaze was gradually drawn to Zhao Hede, portrayed by Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling's Zhao Hede, though inferior to Yaya's Zhao Feiyan in terms of figure and dance,
excelled unparalleled in the art of feminine allure and seduction.
Her beauty was devastatingly exquisite!
Her charm was soul-stirring!
Leaning against Emperor Cheng of Han, she was like a boneless snake, her skin icy and smooth, soft as cotton. Her eyes flickered, exuding an intoxicating allure.
It was not just Emperor Cheng in the drama; the viewers watching were so captivated by her gaze that they lost all sense of self.
Netizens had seen many actresses portray beautiful women who caused downfall, but they truly never expected that among the younger generation of artists, someone could embody such a profoundly alluring character.
Compared to Zhao Feiyan's pure beauty, Jiang Ling's Zhao Hede was the epitome of seduction. With just one glance, she could devour them whole, leaving no bones behind.
