Recently, the drama *Guose Fanghua* starring Yang Zi and Li Xian has garnered much attention. This marks the second collaboration between the two, following the success of *Dear, Loved* which aired earlier, and fans have been ecstatic to see them together again, calling it \"the return of pure entertainment.\"
Despite all the early doubts, once the series aired, it became a huge success, earning widespread appreciation.
Yang Zi’s portrayal of He Weifang quickly drew viewers in. From the start, her character faced mistreatment from her new husband and his family, even enduring domestic violence. The rawness and authenticity of her acting, especially during a scene where her character struggles to breathe while being choked, impressed many viewers.
As the show progressed, fans began to appreciate her performance more, especially in a key moment when He Weifang exposed her husband’s affair with the county lord, pretending to cry while secretly smiling.
This moment showcased Yang Zi’s acting versatility, with many fans suggesting she might excel at playing antagonists. Nevertheless, the most loved parts of the series were He Weifang’s entrepreneurial journey and her partnership with other women in the business of selling peony-flavored pastries.
Li Xian’s role as Jiang Changyang, who helped He Weifang escape from domestic violence, later evolved into a storyline where they start a business together and eventually marry. This development piqued the interest of many viewers.
The show gained massive popularity after airing, with a peak audience score of over 9700 on Maoyan and over 3 billion views within a few days, skyrocketing its ratings.
The series also saw an impressive rise in sponsorship, reaching 40 sponsors, surpassing the 30 sponsors of *Qing Yu Nian 2*, a show that had previously gained significant national attention, underscoring Yang Zi’s strong acting skills.
The show received praise from CCTV, which even highlighted Yang Zi’s previous role as a Tang Dynasty woman, connecting it to her current performance, further boosting her credibility.
However, the most captivating aspect of the show was the controversy over the peony flowers, which sparked debates online about the superiority of Luoyang or Heze peonies. The drama's popularity and the discussions it stirred were clear indications of its success.
Yang Zi's character, He Weifang, has a strong connection to peonies, with several plot points revolving around these flowers. When the county lord visits her husband’s home, she admires the peonies brought by He Weifang, which are crucial to her character. The portrayal of these flowers, especially their vibrant colors and stunning sizes, made viewers fall in love with them.
The production team even bought 10,000 Luoyang peonies, and Heze contributed 2,500 peonies. This sparked an online debate about which variety was superior.
This debate is just another sign of the show’s immense popularity, driven by Yang Zi’s strong performance and the captivating peony storyline.
Yang Zi’s acting has always been exceptional. After her graduation, she starred in the popular historical fantasy drama *Ashes of Love*, which garnered widespread praise. The emotional scenes, especially her character’s tears, deeply touched the audience.
Later, she also starred in *Dear, Loved*, which became a massive hit, making her co-star, Li Xian, immensely popular.
Yang Zi’s incredible ability to elevate other actors was also evident in *Longing for You*, where her performance helped co-stars like Deng Wei and Tan Jianci gain popularity.
This time, Yang Zi and Li Xian’s collaboration in *Guose Fanghua* has once again made waves. While Li Xian had previously been popular, his career had cooled down due to a lack of strong projects and roles.
Their reunion ignited a new wave of excitement, and their appearance together at Weibo Night sent fans into a frenzy. The impact of their collaboration proves once again how Yang Zi's acting and influence continue to elevate her co-stars and projects.

This marks the second collaboration between the two, following the success of *Dear, Loved* which aired earlier, and fans have been ecstatic to see them together again, calling it \"the return of pure entertainment.\"
When the trailer for this series was released, many criticized Yang Zi, even predicting the show’s failure. Some pointed out that her makeup made her appear 10 years older, while others felt that her facial expression looked stiff and her physique didn’t match the traditional \"chubby\" aesthetic of the Tang Dynasty. Some also felt the story was too clichéd, focusing more on the romance than the promised narrative about a female entrepreneur.
