The protagonist was so impartial and unbending in her first appearance.
In recent days, several Chinese social media articles have been making waves on the microblogging platform Weibo. These posts are centered around a new drama series titled "Hu Qian" which has caught the attention of netizens with its intriguing storyline and strong female protagonist.

The protagonist, Hu Qian, is portrayed as an uncompromising and ruthless character who catches her own family members, earning her the nickname "Xiaoxiaoxianqian". Netizens have been excited about this new character depiction, with one user commenting, "The indomitable and uncompromising Xiaoxianqian, this mouth is too powerful! Angry enough to attack her mother and catch her brother. Hahaha, it's been a long time since I last saw such an engaging female protagonist!"
Another netizen was particularly impressed with Hu Qian's character development, stating, "In the original work, Mu Yao was originally a female protagonist and Hu Qian was a villain character. After being reborn, he decides to give up men and climbs to the top of life. His followers will show you a video on Weibo."
The drama's portrayal of strong and engaging female characters has been widely praised by netizens, with another user expressing their anticipation for the series, saying, "The female lead is ultra-disciplined and can argue without equal. It has been a long time since I saw such a heroine! Very looking forward to it."
However, not all comments have been positive. Some netizens have expressed disappointment that the plot differences are minimal from the original work, with one user stating, "Has Zhou's voice not changed? After watching the second episode, it appears that the plot has only slightly different differences from the original work and is mostly the same."
The drama's unique take on resurrection also sparked debate among netizens. One user commented, "I want to take a look, but I want to know if the female protagonist was a bad guy before her resurrection? Don't like villains getting a happy ending after their resurrection, go and have a look otherwise."
Another controversial aspect of the series is its portrayal of Hua Qian Zhong Sheng, who is depicted as having a doubtful identity. In one Weibo video, a friend posts about how he saves male protagonist and gets injured. This has led to mixed reactions amongst netizens with some finding it intriguing while others voicing concerns about the character's morality.
Despite these debates, the drama appears to be gaining momentum on Weibo with users expressing their eagerness for new episodes. The strong female characters and unique plot twists seem to be attracting a significant following among Chinese viewers. Whether or not "Hu Qian" will continue to captivate audiences remains to be seen, but it is clear that this drama has stirred up quite the buzz on Weibo in recent days.
