I decided to rewatch The King's Woman. MMMM.
A male lead who starts the first episode by putting a bloody head into the bed of his mother and her lover:

Proceeds to preside over a massacre:

And then pulls the sword on and almost kills (but eventually exiles) his own mother:

No current drama with that ML (especially ML not being a fictional person but Qin Shi Huang himself) would ever pass censorship now.
But, more to the point, what I love about this drama is, forget the term "red flag" beloved by the kids nowadays - this man is shown a bona fide ambitious, capable, magnetic monster. No coy flag terms needed. He's totally fit to be a period ruler, but as a romantic choice, oh boy! (His troops also murder FL's grandpa on their conquering rampage, but he's not personally involved, so that is the least of his problems.)
Between that first ep, the historical QSH and the fact that this is a prequel of sorts to Legend of Qin, which follows FL's son and where QSH is the villain (!), everything about this screams "this is a not a man who will mellow and reform due to the love of a good woman." But the drama is so brilliant because it uses the viewers' own yearning for a proper romance narrative, their experience with the default narratives being "ruthless man reforms for love" and the fact that not only does the OTP have great chemistry, but that ZBB, who as ML gives the best performance of his career imo, does portray the ML as someone who is impossibly magnetic and impossibly intense and utterly, completely in love with Dilraba's FL, to lead on the viewers to go "but what if...maybe...maybe?!" Only to then slap you with that infamous ending. (One of my favorite, most logical tragic endings of all time.)
God, this drama is SO GOOD!

ETA: I always thought that ending was both a perfect punishment and a perfect test. Because she knew, KNEW, he would kill her if she came at him with a weapon. But the thing he has to live with is not just the knowledge she merely used him to commit suicide by cop because she flipped the dagger at the last moment making it clear she never planned to hurt him, but the knowledge that it was also a test by her, wasn't it? If he loved her enough to be willing to risk being hurt/killed by her, to trust her, she'd be alive, he'd be unhurt, and I think this would have given them another chance - she'd have known he loved her above himself even when it looked like her love turned to hate, and I think this really would have enabled them to be happy in the future. But, as she knew he would, he failed that test. And he has to live not just with the knowledge that he killed the woman he loved and who never intended to harm him, but with the knowledge that he took his future of happiness away himself.

Absolutely LOVE when characters gaze at someone and suddenly see them differently. It's such a great human thing to be able to look at someone 1000 times and it's the same, familiar person every time.
But then they look at them for the 1001st time and suddenly it's different and everything has changed.

Seizure whump
Live Surgery Room ep5
His daughter was scolding him and he got really agitated then he had a seizure .. he's not an abusive father, he was just sick
He's not one of the main characters but I thought his whump was very good

The fact that she gave birth to a boy pretty much puts the final nail in the coffin of the possibility of a happy ending. If she gave birth to a girl, provided he could overlook the fact that she's not a virgin etc (and he clearly can), it would be a nonissue - a girl is a non-player in inheritance games and he can certainly afford to feed one more girl child; he can even dote on her safely if he feels like it. But a boy is always a threat to legitimate inheritance, even if he appoints another son as heir. He and his heirs wil always be part of the family and power games. So it's fine when the kid is little but as he grows? Ooooh boy (not to mention that hits square center into YZ's own parental issues.)
By modern standards, he's always a psycho. But by the standards of his own time and place, it is proof of how utterly consumed he is by her that he (a) lets her give birth to another man's child while (b) allowing everyone to think it's his own son and (c ) does not plan to murder the infant the moment he's born. I mean, he has doctors and midwives murdered and it's proof of both of how terrifying he is and how completely besotted he is.
