In fact, some intense moments in the original novel of The Prisoner of Beauty were quite bold. Liu Yuning once said during a live broadcast, “If it was filmed exactly like the original novel, I think both the actors and the director would have gone to jail,” which sparked heated conversations.
From its premiere, The Prisoner of Beauty has been a hot topic, particularly due to the plot involving the main male and female characters who initially have a feud but eventually marry and fall in love, drawing viewers deeper into the story. In the final episode, the main storyline focuses on the emotional fulfillment of the protagonists Wei Shao (played by Liu Yuning) and Xiao Qiao (played by Song Zuer), while several supporting characters meet tragic ends, portraying the complex entanglement of family, power, and love during turbulent times.
Although Liu Yuning’s previous comments surprised fans, they did not expect that there would actually be two important wedding night scenes in The Prisoner of Beauty. In episode 29, the main couple shared an emotional moment in their chamber but were interrupted by urgent military news. Viewers thought this was the most emotionally charged scene, but the second wedding night scene in episode 32 turned out to be even more profound.
Many viewers praised these scenes as “romantic yet elegant,” “a love performance with strong chemistry,” “subtle and spacious, in line with classical aesthetics,” and some even complimented Liu Yuning’s acting as “textbook,” with remarks like “he can create atmosphere just with his facial expressions and gaze,” “this romantic moment will definitely be remembered,” and “the pinnacle of romantic scenes in historical dramas.” According to World Journal, this topic once trended with over 1 billion views.
Interestingly, Liu Yuning and Song Zuer happened to watch these scenes live alongside the audience. Both appeared very shy. Song Zuer even covered her face and avoided questions, saying, “Is this really okay to watch?” Meanwhile, Liu Yuning tried to ease the awkwardness by saying, “The director asked for the scene to be filmed this way,” and “I drank to give myself courage,” and even his reddened ears made netizens laugh.
The strong chemistry between Liu Yuning and Song Zuer in The Prisoner of Beauty also led many netizens to exclaim “a perfect match for the second time,” expressing hope that they would collaborate again in a modern idol drama. Some netizens even mentioned popular IPs like The Poisonous Queen of the General’s Family as their dream scripts.
