"Splendid Stars": If you understand the redemption of Ling Budo and Cheng Shaoshang, you will be able to understand their pain

Author: Hua Yuchi I understand the despicability of this affair.

growth is up, not down.

Cheng Shaoshang's character background is always sad.


Love under imperial power is suffocating

I ask:

When a person is forced to change by internal force and becomes an obedient puppet in the eyes of everyone, can that still be considered true love?

Ling Budo is thinking about Cheng Shaoshang everywhere, but he is also forcing him to change everywhere.

Lou Yao likes Cheng Shaoshang, but never expects her to change herself to cater to her. He longs to be able to advance and retreat together with Cheng Shaoshang, and work hard; Yuan Shen likes Cheng Shaoshang, but he will only say, "It's okay to pretend. "Okay," not courting me indifferently, but courting me for a long time; but Ling Budo likes Cheng Shaoshang, talking about love everywhere, but pushing her to a dilemma everywhere.

Whenever she wants to rely on others, she is always disappointed.

"Reliance on incompetence," has always been the most painful thing Cheng Shaoshang has to face.

She said:

I, I never choose the best in the world, I only choose the most suitable one in front of me. If I miss it, I may not be able to meet a better one. .

, but Cheng Shaoshang met Ling Budo.

She wants to be free, but he wants to cut off her wings and trap her in a cage. She is very capable, but he asks her to restrain her sharpness. She loves to fly in the sky, but he insists on it.

knew that she didn't like cumbersome and oppressive rules, but she still sent her to the palace to use power to tell her how to be a suitable bride for Ling Budo, not Cheng Shaoshang who could have been bright and dazzling; she knew that she hated power the most She was coercive, but she showed her tricks and calculations in front of her everywhere, blocking her to the point where she had nowhere to go; she knew that the queen was the person she cared about the most, but she still calculated her by any means; Hate the disguised "for your own good," but still block her everywhere regardless of her feelings.

The love under the pressure of imperial authority is suffocating.

Cheng Shaoshang said:

"That's your power, not mine."

What she wants to do is to be a living person, not a puppet who can be manipulated and manipulated by others.

Ling is undoubtedly subject to imperial power, but he dares to use the taste of power to achieve his own goals.

Cheng Shaoshang was the only one who was pushed forward.

In the first half of her life, she was pushed forward by her parents and her involuntary destiny. In the second half of her life, she was pushed forward by Ling Budo and the imperial power.

Qingge Muye, playing the flute and singing the willows, watching the splendid stars and bright moons, has always been the life that the free and sincere Cheng Shaoshang yearns for.

is in control of her own destiny and can really live a good life for herself, which is what she yearns for most.

Ling does not doubt that he loves Cheng Shaoshang, but he does not completely trust Cheng Shaoshang's love.


The most wronged place is that others don't think she is wronged

The most wronged place is that everyoneI don't feel that she is wronged, but I feel that she does not know what is good or bad, that she is not blessed in the midst of happiness, and she has never been asked if she is willing, so she is brought into such a situation, this is the saddest thing about Cheng Shaoshang himself. place.

The little girl who used to be naive, resolute, courageous and tenacious, from the very beginning, yearning for freedom and great rivers and mountains, Qingge and wildness in the world, curious about buildings and ingenious buildings, to being forced to enter the palace to study and learn the rules of etiquette, until it becomes less and less like the original Behind the shadow, the flute and are not very good at blowing, and the nails that are inconvenient to work are still left, losing their original brilliance.

said something nice is to smooth the edges and corners for love, but who said that these edges and corners must be smoothed? It is said to grow better, but the price of this growth is too great. After

broke off the marriage, everyone told her to get through it, and they all said to her, "You are not worthy of this marriage," but did she deserve these hardships? If it wasn't for Ling Budo's blue eyes, she might not necessarily suffer these kinds of pains.

The most pitiful thing about her is that no one thinks she is pitiful, everyone thinks how lucky she is, and they all envy her for being liked by him. People around her are always telling her that you must be worthy of him. Listening to his words, you can't drag him down, you have to become Ling Zisheng's bride, not Cheng Shaoshang, who is already dazzling.

But who can remember how much her original dream came true? At first, she wanted to be a blazing sun, but now she can only be a star beside him.

I don't want to comment too much on the pros and cons of this relationship, everyone has different opinions, and they are all very three-dimensional and distinct characters, not perfect and impeccable male and female protagonists, let alone saints and all their frictions and thoughts. Dislocation, if you stand in their respective positions and think in their way of thinking, they are all reasonable.

But I feel sorry for this, because she has been transformed into what this era needs, and neither the people in the play nor the outsiders think she is pitiful, nor will they think about the pain she suffered from her point of view.

The world only knows that she is the bride of Ling Budo, the most fortunate person in the whole city, but they forget that she is Cheng Shaoshang, a living person, a person with soul, self-esteem, and yearning for freedom .

She is a separate entity, not a soulless appendage.

Ling Budo persuaded her to weigh the pros and cons, but before weighing the pros and cons, he never told her why. He just habitually used power to get her to come to him, but he never asked her if she wanted to.

is ignorant because he didn't follow his wishes? Just don't know where to go?

"I just want to be good for you," blocked Cheng Shaoshang.

She said:

You all say it's good for me because I'm not good enough, right?

​​"But I didn't need to worry about these intricate things, I could marry an ordinary husband and live an ordinary life, what kind of court, what kind of holy highness, Ling Budo, you pulled me into this game."

"I 10,000 words can’t match General Ling’s words.” Cheng Shaoshang had already pointed out the crux of the problem, but Ling Budo still used his power to treat her as his private property, and he might have forgotten in the process. , Cheng Shaoshang was originally an eagle soaring across the sky, not a swift that only hides under the eaves, nor a weak dodder that only clings to trees.

She said:

That is your power, not mine, and why can I use your power? Because soon, I will marry you, have children for you, make you happy and comfortable, so I can share in your power. As a person, I love to do whatever I want and do whatever I want, but if I marryWith you, I have to live according to your rules. At that time, I will no longer be Cheng Shaoshang.

Even if the original author, , cares about it, himself responded positively:

, a man like Ling Wusu, is by no means a good match.


Qingge Muye, flute chanting

In fact:

Cheng Shaoshang did not forgive Ling Buxuan, she just compromised with her arrogant self.

Facts have proved that:

is just a good story, and it is a blessing to forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

Love is a word, which teaches people to be heartbroken, teaches people to live and die, but also teaches people to be in a panic and not to be reborn.

When I saw Cheng Shaoshang and Ling Budo reconcile, I only felt mixed joys and sorrows, but suddenly felt sad. The original Cheng Shaoshang of

was sharp-edged, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes, but now Cheng Shaoshang has only a compromise with reality.

She has never had the right to choose the future or even her destiny.

She didn't want to have this marriage, but she didn't dare to refuse. Between the coercion of imperial power and the family's honor and disgrace, she had to be a balance.

Therefore, Cheng Shaoshang had to put himself in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

In fact, Cheng Shaoshang always has his own views on marriage and relationship, whether it is Lou Yao or Ling Budo, and even Yuan Shen later, Cheng Shaoshang knows exactly what he wants in his heart.

Cheng Shaoshang did not hesitate to choose Lou Yao at first, and a big reason was precisely because she was with Lou Yao and could control her own future.

Even Yuan Shen, who was later, respected Cheng Shaoshang's ideas, and even said to her:
"Who wants you to learn those stinky rules, just pretend to be." At the Queen's birthday banquet, when Cheng Shaoshang uttered the phrase, "My servant, I wish to climb up General Ling once", the perseverance in her eyes did not actually have much liking, but more, as if she was going to die in a dignified manner. Do this instead of actually rejoicing.

Cheng Shaoshang's choice for Ling Budo is more like an extreme rebellion after anger.

However, when the little beast pulls out its claws, the bird loses its wings, is locked in a gold wire cage, becomes someone, or is an accessory of power without self, then for her, who has always longed for freedom, it is tantamount to killing her Her light, breaking her last hope.

What's more, if she had a bit of a retreat back then, how could she be willing to agree to this marriage?

Because, she is afraid - under the majestic imperial power, she has no choice of fate.

Wendi was furious after Cheng Shaoshang refused to marry, his words threatened to bring harm to his family, the third prince's sarcasm in the hall, the contempt and coercion inside and outside the words, the fifth princess said aloft even if the Cheng family was on the battlefield Killing enemies with blood, she can make them wander without a single word, Cheng Shaoshang's helplessness when he was made trouble by the powerful, and everyone's fear after Ling Budo appeared, everything made Cheng Shaoshang feel terrified, and even more so She was terrified of being alone. The power of

is really good, but also really terrible.

After all, what is true love under the pressure of imperial authority?

Even if the ending is an unsurprisingly happy reunion, but really, has Cheng Shaoshang been redeemed by himself? Cheng Shaoshang in the book

is under his own PUA, so he canWhen it comes to self-redemption, what about Cheng Shaoshang in the play?

But I would rather she regain her freedom, return to the bright and cheerful Cheng Shaoshang who yearns to fly freely in the sky, rather than the now praised Ling Zisheng bride.
