The TV series Empress Dowager Cixi was adapted from Murong Yaner's novel Empress Dowager Cixi, which was adapted by Ruby Lin Studio.
Meng Qiyou, the crown prince of Shu, is the son of Du, the queen of Shu, and also the favorite concubine of the heroine of Shu. Fans jokingly call Qiyou "Brother Gasoline" and are full of expectations for Qiyou in Yan Kuan.
There is an epic love story between Qiyou and Fuya, whether it is the original work or the TV series of the same name.
Regarding whether Meng Qiyou is dead, according to Ruby Lin's "Happy Ending" in Hunan Satellite TV's "Everyday Up" program and the last scene in the finale, Meng Qiyou is not dead.
