| “Too Romantic to Handle?” The Prisoner of Beauty’s Wedding Night Episodes Go Viral Again (Tencent Video/Weibo) |
Although The Prisoner of Beauty wrapped up a few days ago, the buzz hasn’t died down one bit. In fact, it's only getting louder—especially when it comes to those wedding night scenes in episodes 29 and 32 that fans are now calling the emotional peak of the entire show.
Starring Song Zuer and Liu Yuning, the political-historical romance drama had already been a hot topic since day one, thanks to its enemies-to-lovers arc and that juicy undercurrent of power, betrayal, and fate.
But it’s the two post-marriage moments that really sent viewers into a spiral of feelings—romantic, nostalgic, and let’s be honest… a bit flushed.
💍 The Scenes Everyone’s Talking About

In episode 29, we get a tender moment in the bridal chamber between Wei Shao (Liu Yuning) and Xiao Qiao (Song Zuer)—the tension finally breaking as they share what fans have described as the first real spark of their romance. Just when things get intense, military news barges in (rude), leaving the moment hanging in the air.
But episode 32? That’s when the real magic happened.
This time, there were no interruptions—just lingering glances, whispered lines, and a level of chemistry that had the comment sections overheating.
Viewers described it as “elegant and restrained,” “romantic but tasteful,” and “a masterclass in emotional pacing.” One fan even joked, “This should be taught in drama schools under ‘How to break hearts with just eye contact.’”

🎬 A Little Too Real?
Fun fact: these scenes might’ve been toned down from the novel. Liu Yuning even said during a livestream, “If it was filmed like the book, I think the director and we actors would’ve been arrested.”
That comment alone sparked a fresh wave of curiosity—and when the scenes finally aired, viewers couldn’t believe how much emotion was packed into every frame, even without pushing boundaries.

And just to add to the charm—both Liu Yuning and Song Zuer happened to watch the scenes live with fans. Song Zuer turned full-on bashful, hiding her face and mumbling, “Is this really okay to watch?”
Meanwhile, Liu Yuning, ever the gentleman, tried to play it cool with “The director asked for it this way,” and admitted he had to drink beforehand for courage. Fans couldn’t get enough, especially when his ears went visibly red on camera.
💑 Chemistry So Good, Fans Want More

This isn’t the first time Liu Yuning and Song Zuer have been praised for their compatibility, but The Prisoner of Beauty has solidified their on-screen match as something special. Netizens are already campaigning for a reunion—this time in a modern idol drama.
Popular IPs like The Poisonous Queen of the General’s Family are being thrown around as dream scripts, with fans commenting, “Let them flirt in hoodies and cafés next time, please.” Some even said the two feel like a “drama power couple,” a pairing that could boost ratings and break hearts all over again.

According to World Journal, the topic of the wedding scenes even trended with over 1 billion views—massive even by C-drama standards. Comments poured in praising not just the actors’ chemistry, but the drama’s ability to balance love, tragedy, and historical aesthetics all at once.
From the lingering looks to that slight trembling in Liu Yuning’s voice, everything just clicked. One top-voted comment said, “This wasn’t a kissing scene. This was poetry.” Another chimed in, “Now this is how you do slow-burn romance.”
