"Zhou Sheng as Before" is a costume sadomasochistic drama directed by Guo Hu, starring Ren Jialun and Bai Lu, and starring Wang Xingyue, Li Yiru, Zhou Lula, Yao Yichen, Su Mengyun and Wu Mansi.

The "sweet abuse" style of "Zhou Sheng Is Like The Past" has long given the audience psychological hints, from Zhou Shengchen's "staying at the border pass all his life, not marrying wives and concubines, and not leaving children", to The time when it is appropriate to "I want to stay in Xizhou, like my brothers and sisters, never marry for life", there are certain "tragedy" omens.
One is married, one vows not to marry, and both of them sacrifice their personal feelings for the "family" and cannot help themselves. Whether it is Zhou Shengchen or Yi Shiyi, they all have full insight into their own situation, and they cannot abandon their responsibilities to pursue freedom. Similar thoughts and concepts are not only the cornerstone of their emotional development, but also indicate that their feelings will lead to tragedy.
The characters in the play are wrapped up in fate, and the love between Shi Shiyi and Zhou Shengchen is born to death, destined to go to tragedy. The more sincere the emotion, the more difficult it is to reconcile, which is lamentable.
