Do you think the second prince in "Celebrating More Than Years" is pitiful?

In the TV series "Celebrating More Than Years", the second prince played by actor Liu Duanduan is loved by many viewers. This arrogant second prince, who doesn't wear shoes properly and loves to roll his eyes, is affectionately called by the audience. Second sister. At the end of the first season, the second prince and the male protagonist Fan Xian completely broke up with each other. Looking back on the second prince's life, the audience couldn't help but sigh that this second prince was indeed a pitiful person.

Before everyone knew that Fan Xian was the biological son of Emperor Qing, only the crown prince and the second prince were eligible to compete for the throne. This qualification was given to him by Emperor Qing. Emperor Qing showed his dissatisfaction with the prince and gave him a lot of support, which made the prince full of hostility towards him. The second prince said that in his position, even if he didn't want to fight, there was nothing he could do because he was the whetstone appointed by Emperor Qing. In order to temper the prince, Emperor Qing deliberately gave the second prince the power to fight for the throne and pushed him to oppose the prince. The alignment of the ministers and the prince's hostility towards him forced him to make every effort to fight for the throne. The second prince said to Fan Xian that if he was born into an imperial family, his life would be lost if he lost.

If Emperor Qing had not been the driving force, perhaps the second prince would not have fought for the throne. His biological mother Shu Guifei had no interest in fighting for power, and his maternal family did not provide him with help. So if given the choice, I believe the second prince would prefer to be an idle prince, reciting poems and composing poems with talented people and beautiful ladies. In your spare time, you can enjoy flowers and eat grapes.

However, there is no if, he was indeed pushed into that position, so he had to protect himself. He admired Fan Xian's talent, so he tried every means, even blaming the prince, in the hope of winning over Fan Xian. After knowing that Fan Xian would not be used by him, he immediately showed his true colors, used the people around Fan Xian to threaten him, and finally sent his cronies to deal with Fan Xian.

In the original novel, he married Ye Linger, the daughter of the Ye family, for military power. Forced to the last resort, he chose to rebel in order to survive. Unexpectedly, his father-in-law was a member of Emperor Qing and betrayed him in the end. But the aunt who had been supporting him secretly was really supporting the prince. Only after he failed completely did he realize that everything was arranged by Emperor Qing, and he would always be just a pawn in Emperor Qing's hands.

The second prince hates Fan Xian, but only Fan Xian and Ye Linger, whom he married for military power, care about his life and death. At the last moment of his life, he met Fan Xian. He knew that Fan Xian's medical skills were very good, so he deliberately waited until the poison entered the heart veins before meeting Fan Xian. He said that he did not want to continue living as a joke. Finally, he ended his life eating his favorite grapes. At the end of his life, the person he hated the most was his biological father.

The character of the Second Prince is indeed very pitiful. He has a lot of personality and is very smart. In the book, he is the person most similar to the male protagonist Fan Xian. It's a pity that he doesn't have the life of the male protagonist, and there aren't so many people willing to protect him. And his biological father, for his own plan, did not hesitate to use him as a pawn and fooled him. So for him, death is the release. A man as arrogant and smart as him would never be able to bear the thought that his whole life would be a joke.
