Regardless of the budget, I think Chen Xiao will play Xu Fengnian, Rachel Momo will play Jiang Ni, and the rest of the roles feel ok, so there is no need to change.

In the original work of this TV series, Xu Fengnian is a handsome man. Ruoyun Zhang's acting is very good, but he and the role are almost identical in appearance. In fact, the ginger paste played by Li Gengxu doesn't have the temperament of a princess of national subjugation at all, and it doesn't look like a princess. If Rachel Momo plays, he will feel better personally.

Although I always think that Ruoyun Zhang is a powerful actor, even if he is not handsome, he can play the leading role. As long as his role is not handsome, people generally don't say anything, but this time he played Xu Fengnian, but he was scolded by everyone. Li Gengxi looks very cute, but he doesn't feel like an ancient person, and he doesn't feel the same as the ginger paste in the book.

If the male host and female host are replaced by Chen Xiao and Rachel Momo, personally, I think this drama will be closer to the original and more in line with the audience's aesthetics.
