Recently, some netizens were discussing the controversial incident in "The Legend of Chu Qiao". The discussion about whether Yan Xun should be responsible for the insult of Princess Yuan Chun triggered a heated discussion!
In the play, Princess Yuan Chun was betrayed by Yan Xun on her wedding day and was humiliated by his soldiers, causing her to fall from a cute and noble princess into a quagmire. In the end, she turned evil and started a horrific revenge.
Some netizens believed that Yan Xun, as a leader, should not have allowed his men to harm the princess who had helped him; but more counter-arguments pointed out that Yan Xun was seriously injured and unconscious at the time, and did not issue relevant instructions. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to "escort the princess back to Chang'an." The atrocities committed by the soldiers were personal acts.
A few people believe that Yan Xun became violent because of the family blood feud and was indirectly responsible for what happened to the princess, and that Princess Yuan Chun's obsession with him was not cherished at all.
More than 80% of the discussions emphasized that Yan Xun was unconscious and unaware, and that the violence committed by the soldiers was revenge for his family being persecuted by the Wei army and had nothing to do with Yan Xun. Although he hated the Wei royal family, he still had old feelings for the princess, and even arranged for her to be escorted before she fell into a coma.
Some users pointed out that it would be wrong to put all the blame on Yan Xun, and that the princess’s father also needs to be held accountable. He massacred the entire Yanxun clan. Such a brutal act led the soldiers to gang-rape his daughter in revenge.
Princess Yuan Chun, played by Li Qin, is portrayed as a "rose that fell into the mud." Her suffering stems from her naive love, lack of understanding of politics, and her sins in the royal family.
Later, Princess Yuan Chun transferred her hatred for Yan Xun to her savior Chu Qiao. She refused to be grateful and hunted him down many times, highlighting the contradiction of the character.
Actor Li Qin's wonderful performance was praised for "bringing the pain of the paper man to life", which enhanced the appeal of the tragedy. Princess Yuanchun went from being coquettish and naive to turning into a black woman after being gang-raped. She is also a classic figure with the most controversial topics.
In addition, some people pointed out that the soldiers humiliated the princess together. This was a instrumental plot designed to make Princess Yuan Chun black, and the details lacked logical rigor. After all, Yan Xun ran the army strictly, but there were perverted subordinates who disobeyed orders, which was obviously a loophole.
In 2026, the topic #YanXun shouldn't let his men ruin the princess# appeared on Weibo, causing netizens to joke about "traveling back to ten years ago". Some people suspected that it was a means of publicity and hype for the sequel to "The Legend of Chu Qiao", "Ice Lake Rebirth". However, Li Qin has become Xia Meng, and Princess Yuan Chun has become Zhao Chun'er. Are there any surprises?
Should Princess Yuan Chun’s experience be blamed on her father’s crimes? As an avenger, how to define Yan Xun's moral boundaries? How to balance personal hatred and responsibility in troubled times? I am afraid that every audience who has watched "The Legend of Chu Qiao" has his or her own answer!
On February 13, some gossip paparazzi broke the news on social platforms. It was a love affair, and it was not just a love affair. The plot had a long span. The content was that a bed photo of Chen Feiyu and a girl in a hotel was exposed. The two were lying on the bed intimately. The suspected relationship was exposed. Soon the news became a hot search.
In the photo, Chen Feiyu is seen half-naked, lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He looks very peaceful, with his mouth slightly open as if he is fast asleep. The interior of the hotel is also very luxurious. He is seen naked, which is somewhat different from the image on the screen, but he can still vaguely be seen to be Chen Feiyu.
In addition to the photos of him sleeping soundly, the gossip media also posted pictures of him sleeping in a hotel. There was a girl lying next to him, with joy and happiness in her eyes. This was his girlfriend, the internet celebrity "Yes Yilin Acridine". Seeing this photo, the relationship between the two was not simple.
It is reported that this beautiful internet celebrity is "Yilin Acridine". She has more than 800,000 fans on the Internet and is relatively famous. Looking at the short videos shot by this internet celebrity, she is also very beautiful, with delicate facial features and a very cute round face.
The relationship between the two was not as simple as imagined. Some media broke the news that the female Internet celebrity was married. Netizens even revealed that the female Internet celebrity used to be Chen Feiyu's sister. She participated in Chen Feiyu's promotional activities many times and cheered for Chen Feiyu in movie roadshows many times. This shows how good the relationship between the two is.
There is also the fact that this female internet celebrity is already married. She started out as an internet celebrity and has been in contact with Chen Feiyu. Netizens also revealed that the two had a relationship and were caught and raped in bed by the woman's husband. After this incident, Chen Feiyu's mother, Chen Hong, intervened at the time and wanted to spend 2 million to buy these photos, but they did not reach an agreement and the photos were circulated.
As early as last year, gossip media broke the news on social platforms that a three-character man loved being a mistress, and was caught by her husband. The man's mother directly came forward and wanted to pay for the secret, but no agreement was reached.
Although I don’t know if the two things are related, but now that Chen Feiyu has been exposed to negative news, I hope he can speak out as soon as possible and give the public an explanation. I also hope that netizens will be rational!
With the update of the plot, "Love in the Age of Innocence" is becoming more and more popular. In the process of following the drama, everyone hates the villain "Feng Lin" very much, and is even directly angry with her. Under normal circumstances, most netizens who follow the drama will complain, but Feng Lin's reputation outside the drama is reversed, because we have seen her before, no wonder she looks familiar. What is going on?
Most netizens watched "Love in the Age of Innocence" because they were attracted by Sun Qian and Chen Feixiang. In this drama, the two of them are official couples and perform "Marriage First, Love Later". Both of them have their own needs, so they choose "fake marriage" and successfully get a house.
When such a situation occurred, Feng Lin began to make things difficult for them everywhere. She not only deliberately made things difficult for Fei Ni at work, but also conducted surprise inspections on Fei Ni and Fang Muyang because she suspected that the two were fake marriages. However, Fang Muyang cleverly resolved them every time, saying "The size is too small to be useful" and "I am not even 1.9 meters tall. I am only 1.88 meters tall."
When such a plot appears, although everyone is very angry with Feng Lin, she can promote the plot every time and make the relationship between Fei Ni and Fang Muyang go further, which is also a good thing. However, after seeing what she did, everyone is still very angry with her.
Under normal circumstances, most netizens would complain about the actor "Wu Youyou" who plays Feng Lin. The complaints are just complaints. Because she acted well, she was complained about, which is also an affirmation of her acting skills. With "Love in the Age of Innocence", an unexpected thing happened. Not only did no netizens complain about Wu Youyou, many netizens were also fans of her.
Nowadays, netizens are more rational. What everyone dislikes are the characters, not the actors. In fact, when they saw Feng Lin on the stage, many netizens felt that she looked familiar, as if they had seen her before somewhere. As of now, Feng Lin has only acted in three dramas, namely "Love in the Age of Innocence", "The Mysteries of Liuli Nvfang" and "Bleach".
After seeing the news that Wu Youyou had acted in "Bleach", everyone suddenly wondered who she was starring in? Did she get out of the industry with this role?
It turns out that Wu Youyou once recorded "Women's Mystery Club 2". In this variety show, she played the role of a "hacker". When she first appeared, she attracted the attention of Tian Xiwei and Zhang Yifan, and successfully made them both scream. It must be said that Wu Youyou at that time gave people a "sassy" feeling.
In private life, Wu Youyou is also a "cool and handsome" girl. She is not only versatile, but also has a very good personality. The most important thing is that she and Sun Qian are friends off-screen. So when netizens got to know Wu Youyou, many people became fans of her. No one expected that a cool and handsome girl could interpret the villain "Feng Lin" so well.
The success of "Love in the Age of Innocence" is inseparable from every character. The most grateful ones are Wang Tianchen and Guo Xiaoting. Although the starring roles of this drama are Sun Qian and Chen Feiyu, Wang Tianchen and Guo Xiaoting are much more popular than the male and female protagonists.
Many netizens said: I have not missed the editing video of Wang Tiancheng and Guo Xiaoting at all. They are the "Kochi" couple. They are testing each other and full of tension. Although they both think that the other person likes someone else, they still can't help but get closer.
When watching dramas, everyone hopes that Wang Tianchen and Guo Xiaoting can be a threesome. You must know that the last pair of supporting actors to appear in the drama were Sun Qian and Chen Jingke. When "Fireworks" was broadcast, the successful appearance of the supporting actors directly drove the attention and popularity of the drama.
After the popularity of "Fireworks" increased rapidly, we can obviously feel that Sun Qian and Chen Feiyu's plots have increased. However, in "Love in the Age of Innocence", Wang Tianchen and Guo Xiaoting did not have many plots, but it still cannot stop netizens from taking the initiative to praise CP.
Dear readers, are you reading "Love in the Age of Innocence"? While watching the show, did you discover that Feng Lin was played by "Wu Youyou"? I have to say, her plasticity is really strong!

Spring has arrived! According to data released by the Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory, since February 26, the city’s daily average temperature has exceeded 10 degrees for five consecutive days, which also means that this year’s meteorological spring has arrived on February 26, which is earlier than the average spring time (March 13).
However, in recent days, Shencheng has been shrouded in continuous rain. The reporter learned from the Municipal Meteorological Bureau that the city will be cloudy, rainy, weak and windy today, and the blue wind warning will be hoisted all day long. The city's maximum land gust reached 6 to 7, and it was higher in the coastal areas along the river. The temperature was also lower. The temperature at Xujiahui Station in the urban area ranged from 10.1°C to 10.6°C. The temperature difference was small but it felt cold and humid.
Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It is customary to go out and enjoy the lanterns, and it also coincides with a total lunar eclipse. Meteorological experts said that although the complete total eclipse phase can be seen in eastern my country, there will be weak rain and clouds in Shanghai tonight, so the flower viewing lanterns will not be affected, and the moon may be looming.
In terms of weather, it will remain overcast to cloudy during the day tomorrow, with scattered light rain in some areas. The northwest wind is Category 6 with gusts of Category 7 to 8, Category 7 with gusts of Category 8 and Category 9 along the river and coastal areas, turning northerly in the middle of the night with Category 4 to Category 5 gusts to Category 6, Category 5 gusts from Category 6 to Category 7 along the river and coastal areas, and the temperature throughout the day is between 7°C and 11°C.
The good news is that this round of rainy weather in Shanghai is finally coming to an end. It is predicted that there will be more clouds in Shanghai before this Friday, and there will be a light rain around Thursday. The overall temperature will be between 7°C and 13°C, continuing the feeling of dampness and coldness in spring. Starting from Friday, Shanghai will usher in a period of fine or cloudy weather, and the maximum temperature will rise day by day. It is expected that the maximum temperature will rise to 17℃ in the middle of next week. Warm spring is just around the corner.
However, citizens are reminded that they still need to pay attention to the lowest temperature in the morning. On weekends and early next week, the lowest temperature is only 5°C to 6°C in the urban area and even lower in the suburbs. Pay attention to keeping warm and cold.

What is a latte?
/ Espresso with milk/
The relationship between latte and iron is - there is no relationship. Latte means "milk" in Italian, but translating it into milk coffee seems not enough, so there are translations such as latte, cappuccino, mocha, macchiato, etc. that seem to have nothing to do with pictures and texts.
In one sentence: the fundamentalist latte is actually espresso + milk.
Espresso with milk becomes a latte | goodfood.com.au/Cal Wood
The ratio of espresso to milk in specialty coffee shops is about 1:2-1:3, which is closer to the original "Italian style". If you are used to drinking Papa Xing, you will feel uncomfortable and even suspect that you have been cheated - because the ratio of espresso to milk in Papa Xing's latte is ≥1:7 (I can't help but think of the teacher Zhao Lirong's song "It's actually an Erguotou, mixed with boiled water").

How to evaluate the quality of a cup of latte?
Although latte is a free art, the milk used can be used in various ways. For example, the popular plant milk (oat milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, etc.) can also be called latte in a broad sense. However, the essence of a good latte is actually reflected in the latte art.
Although the presence or absence of latte art does not affect the taste of latte, if the espresso is not made well or the milk is not frothed well, it is impossible to make beautiful latte art. Therefore, if the latte art is good, it means that the espresso and milk foam are both good. Various world-class barista competitions also include special competitions for latte art, which shows the importance of latte art to latte.
Latte art is not just something you can do if you want | giphy
Latte art espresso
The first is espresso, which must have enough crema (the layer of brown grease on top) to make latte art. If you want the oil to be thick enough, the coffee beans need to be fresh enough, the grinding thickness should be appropriate, the pressed powder should not be loose or tight, the air pressure should be adjusted appropriately, and the extraction time should be reasonable...

Latte art milk
And milk is not much easier than espresso. The steam nozzle of the espresso machine sprays high-temperature water vapor, and when it is quickly filled with milk, bubbles will be generated. but--
The overall heating time must be controlled properly: the optimal temperature for milk foaming is 60-63°C. If it exceeds this temperature too much and beats for too long, the milk will not be foamed. Most baristas "feel" this temperature with their hands.
The most perfect milk foam should be super fine with no foam visible to the naked eye, just like the texture of melted ice cream. This requires the barista to accurately control the position and angle of the steam nozzle inserted into the milk. Generally, it needs to be "shallow first and then deep". In this way, large milk foam will form in the milk first, and then the large milk foam will turn into ultra-small milk foam and evenly mixed in the milk. As for when to adjust the position and angle, it basically depends on experience and craftsmanship.
The texture of well-beaten milk foam is like melted ice cream | bluebottlecoffee.com
The espresso cannot be cooled, and the milk cannot stand. You need to start making it quickly after frothing the milk, otherwise the milk will separate and the latte art will look mushy or even impossible to latte art;
If the milk is poured into the espresso coffee too quickly or too slowly, it will cause the latte art to fail. You need to lift the milk jug higher and rotate it at a slightly faster speed. When the milk is about half a cup, start to move closer to the coffee cup and use a slightly thinner milk flow to draw the flowers. An excellent latte art should have no big bubbles, uniform line thickness, centered pattern, symmetrical left and right, and velvety dense bubbles that will stick to the upper lip.

Latte derivatives
/Fruit white, cappuccino, macchiato/
If latte is the basic version of Italian coffee, then burrito, cappuccino, and caramel macchiato are derivatives, and they are all a certain kind of "milk coffee." Comparing pancake fruits, it’s probably: Fuli Bai = double eggs, cappuccino = double fruits, caramel macchiato = add more chopped green onions.
But those drinks such as matcha latte, black tea latte, Earl Gray tea latte, bean juice latte, etc., do not necessarily have coffee. If you order a latte, you will definitely have milk, but you need to confirm with the clerk whether there is coffee.
So let’s take a closer look at the easily confused combinations of custom pancakes, fruit milk coffee.
Group 1: Latte, Cappuccino, Flat White
Latte = coffee + milk
Cappuccino = coffee + less milk
Fuli white = more coffee + less milk
Latte has been mentioned in detail above. Let me just mention it again. In Papa Star’s latte, the medium cup is 1 part espresso, and the large and extra large cups are both 2 parts espresso. Then the clerk will top up the milk, so the extra large cup will always be black.
The capacity, espresso amount and syrup amount of the three cup types of Star Papa
The only difference between cappuccino and latte is that the proportion of foam added to the milk will be higher, just like when pouring beer, some people can achieve more foam and less foam, while others can achieve more foam and less foam. But milk foam + coffee has a dense and light taste, while latte tastes more "solid".

Fuli White (also called Australian White in some stores) adds more espresso than latte. The espresso in latte and cappuccino is both 1/2/2 parts (Star Papa medium/large/extra large), while the espresso in Fuli White is 2/3/3 parts.
However, the espresso used in the exquisite Fulibai should be ristretto, which is "concentrated espresso". It uses less water and the extraction time is shorter, which will produce a smaller and richer concentrate. At the same time, because the time is short, there is less bitterness, so it should have a stronger and sweeter taste.

Group 2: Macchiato series
Macchiato means "marked" in Italian, which means adding a little xx as embellishment on top of xx. so:
Espresso macchiato is espresso coffee with a drop (usually a spoonful) of milk foam on top;
Latte macchiato is milk with a dash of espresso;
The caramel macchiato is quite special. It was invented by a young clerk of Star Papa in 1996. It is a super sweet latte macchiato with a little caramel syrup on top.

Group 3: Ice latte and dirty
Iced latte is more trouble-free than hot latte. You don’t need to heat the milk, just pour it at room temperature and then add ice cubes.
And dirty without ice! It's best to use a chilled glass and pour the freshly extracted hot double concentrate over the milk. It's best not to take it out, drink it quickly, and drink it all in three sips. The feeling of each sip is different.

The heaviest and most essence is the first sip, where you can drink coffee oil and a little bit of very sweet milk; the second sip is a more balanced taste of milk and coffee; and finally, the third sip is dominated by the sweetness and fragrance of milk.
Because the concentrate is hot and the milk is cold, you can still drink it with the taste of ice and fire. Either the cup is too small or you are at a disadvantage. It seems that the small cup of dirty can produce several flavors, which is a cracker.

Can’t tell the difference between milk and coffee?
/First of all, you have to drink it in the correct way to drink it/
Seeing this, some people may think I'm talking nonsense. Latte, cappuccino, macchiato... all taste the same, so how can there be so many differences? In fact, these coffees do taste similar after being left for about half an hour after being made. The prerequisite for being able to notice a clear difference is that you drink it correctly.
First, try to drink it as quickly as possible, especially hot drinks or drinks with a lot of milk foam. If you say "I just want to drink it slowly", it is recommended to buy the cheapest one. The milk froth will burst if left on it, and the coffee and milk will have the same taste after they are completely blended.

Secondly, take-out cups virtually ruin the taste of many drinks, such as the rich and dense milk foam on the top of cappuccino, the caramel on top of caramel macchiato, the cream and chocolate chips on mocha, and the latte art on latte (although there is really no difference in the taste with or without latte art) - so if possible, you can open the lid and drink.

A guide to making your own latte
/ Can be used without an espresso machine /
If you have an espresso coffee machine at home, it’s very convenient and you can just have some concentrated milk. But can you make your own latte without an espresso machine?
Of course!
To make a latte, all you need is espresso and milk.
If you don’t have additional equipment, the simplest way to concentrate is freeze-dried coffee powder or espresso liquid. In addition to bulky espresso machines, simple and lightweight Aeropress and Moka pots can also make espresso, but I'm lazy!
Freeze-dried coffee powder is so fragrant
As for the milk, just pour it in! If you want to drink it hot, put it in the microwave and heat it up. If you want to drink it with the taste of milk foam, just shake it (seriously), and you can really get milk foam by shaking it! However, you can also use an egg beater or an electric milk frother. If you are interested in this part, I will explain it in detail later.
