Lu Yu Xiao and Tan Jian Ci's 'Dancing with the Tide' is in the works

Upcoming Chinese Dancing with the Tide, starring Lu Yu Xiao and Tan Jian Ci, has begun filming.

The historical Chinese drama Dancing with the Tide has officially begun filming and announced its main cast. The drama is adapted from the popular novel of the same Chinese name by Xian Yu Ke.

The story is set against the backdrop of Lidu Prefecture, where enemy forces lay siege from the outside, while hidden spies surge in the shadows within. As the dynasty collapses, Xie Que Shan — branded a traitor — pursues Nan Yi, who has accidentally stolen a secret letter.

To keep control of the situation, Xie Que Shan confines Nan Yi within the Xie residence — only for her to unexpectedly glimpse the secrets hidden beneath the "mask".

Xie Que Shan is a general who plunges into darkness, protecting his country with courage, walking alone under the weight of the misunderstandings.

Nan Yi is a tough and resilient woman who goes from struggling for survival to finding faith, breaking out of her cocoon, and transforming amid chaos and upheaval.

At the launch event, Tan Jian Ci commented, "I have a feeling I've come across a role that will be unforgettable. I feel truly happy to be able to play Xie Que Shan." Lu Yu Xiao also shared her affection for the role: "I really love Nan Yi. She has a toughness that can root itself deep into the soil and also a gentleness that grows toward the sun."

The C-drama stars Lu Yu Xiao as Nan Yi and Tan Jian Ci as Xie Que Shan. Starring alongside them are Zhao Zhao Yi, Yin Hao Yu, Cao Jun, and Xu Zheng Xi. Li Meng appears as a specially invited lead, Ye Zu Xin joins in a surprise starring role, He Qiu in a special starring role, Chen Shu in a special appearance, Wang Jin Song in a specially invited appearance, Zhou Cheng Ao in a specially invited starring role, and Zheng Ye Cheng in a cameo.
