Stars in the Rose Pavilion

New song in July 2026 with a wintry original MV in which Zhao Lusi plays with Tibetan kids. The song itself is a cover adapted from the Nepali song Jhim Jhimaune Aakhale by Ekdev Limbu , using both Tibetan and Chinese language. It was her first time singing in Tibetan ; she invited the vocalist Yangjima to the studio to coach her on Tibetan pronunciation and provide backing vocals.

"The moon, snow-capped mountains, bonfires, and grasslands depicted in the song are more than just scenery; they represent the imprints left when people meet. The world is vast—vast enough for mountains and rivers to go their separate ways—yet it is also small enough that a softly sung melody can draw strangers' hearts closer together. "Xiao Xiao" seeks to express not merely how to speak of love, but how to truly see and acknowledge every individual life. When we are willing to listen, understand, and see one another, tender connections quietly begin to form in that very moment." (tr. from the description of the MV)

It echoes the song "A Little Bit of Courage/Be Myself" 小小的勇氣 sung by Duan Aojuan for Rosy's documentary of 2025 when she visited the kids in the mountain on her path to recovery from her serious health collapse of late 2024.

Now Rosy is recovered enough to sing on stages, and she had two concerts in Macau this month, on July 11th and 12th💜 in which she performed a purple lion dance, after having rehearsed several times to do one in pink and blue for her grandmother's 80th birthday (as reported by drama news reporter Marcus in his video of July 15, 2026) :

ADDING AN INTERNATIONAL FANDOM NAME.

Since she managed to get out of the risks of falling into dire debt for breaking with her former agency, with which she shamefacedly admitted to having been taken for a fool when they signed her up for another 5 years at her vulnerable time, she now also can look forward to a future free from the risk of indenture. She luckily got good backing to negotiate with new investor who only asked her to train new artists within six months in counterpart for having her slate wiped clean. Thereafter, she could concentrate on also wiping the slate clean on her social media, cutting ties with traitors such as the former associate, who took over without her authorization her first dessert shop Rosy Wylie in Hengdian and caused harm to her reputation for not doing timely deliveries after cashing in payments.

In the past, she had accepted the renaming of her 2017-2021 fandom 露珠 (Lùzhū, "Dewdrop") to 可露丽 (Kělùlì, "Canelé") in June 201. The name was based on her then favorite dessert, the small Canelé cake. Alas, since she realized in 2024 that she is allergic to eggs, she can't eat them any longer or accept them as gifts from fans. Anyway, it was never a dietary injunction but only a symbol linking the fans together. The slogan "一露有你，情思不变" (If you are with me, my love has no change) is tied to the 露 (dew/rose) character, not the pastry specifically.

On June 2, 2026, her official fan club suggested that she rename the international component of the fandom to CANLILY. Pronounced "can lily." Meaning: "we (Canelé) could be anything." See previous post, to see how that translated into an engraving on her microphone for the StayRomantic concert in Bangkok in May.

This will not have an influence on her fandom color or fandom motto (露有你情思不变,). The dachshund emoji 🐕 (specifically a dachshund) might become a secondary fandom symbol alongside the canelé — the way her 应援色 is 露露紫 (Lulu Purple) but fans also use 💜. The dogs are the current brand face, so they'll appear on merch, store signage, and concert visuals. But the name stays Canlily / 可露丽.

ROOOSY TIME 🍜 🧁 💜💜💜💜

In September, Rooosy Time opened in Chengdu Fanmu Flying Cultural and Creative Park; it is described as a Dessert shop, but true to Lusi's once quipping that if everything failed, she'd "just open a small noodle shop", it does serve Sichuan cold noodles (Rosy's staple favorite) among its four separate facades, offering coffee, staples, and desserts, with each item priced at 26—98 yuan. The eggless milk wheat-flavored black sesame cake priced at 78 yuan is quite popular. Canelés are still on the menu — the Weibo article from Sept 19 lists them as a "特色产品" (signature product). Fans posted photos with the caption: "没吃到的可露丽别看" ("Canelés who didn't get one, don't look") —meaning the pastry and the fans are the same word !

Plus, in September, a cute Mooncake featuring Doe, her favorite Dachshund pet.

ROSYDOEDIAN 💜🐕 💜 🐕 💜

When she started the IP protection of the names of her ventures, helped by her dad Zhao Jun, and a few other people, she turned to her beloved pets for inspiration! At one point she had 3 dogs and 6 cats, all adopted or rescued — not one bought from a breeder.  The numbers have fluctuated, but two Dachshund joined her furry family from October 2022 : Tōutōu/Doudou "Doe” [偷偷 secretly) the elder, adopted before Hidden Love) and Dian Dian 点点 (adopted later). She copyrighted in May 2025 some designs using the "twin dogs" names : Doedian, Rosydoedian, doedd They were already celebrities in their own right (walked Milan Fashion Week ; Versace prepared a dog bag, clothes, collar, leash, and the dog sat in the front row ; appeared in Versace magazine shoots, attended the JORYA Shanghai store opening in a matching "mother-child" outfit.) So, they have become the "face" of her brand.

Among her other pets are/were Le Le (乐乐), a visually impaired rough Collie, which got lost in a Sept.2025 rainstorm, triggering a locate and rescue effort which went viral on the Net ; finally a local woman found her ; Ba Wan (八万), her first adopted dog, a pug ; Ping An (平安), a Schnauzer adopted in Hengdian ; Lai Fu (来福) a small mongrel red bat-eared dog, mix of Chihuahua and Pinscher. To these should be added the cats and their kitten. Best known are Rou Rou (肉肉) the big white Persian, and Mei Zhu (煤珠) a black cat, the latter adopted as a kitten during the 2020 pandemic.

So it is not surprising that her "small grocery shop" (50 m² interior) in Guangzhou, 芳村地铁站口 ( Fangcun metro station exit) caters mostly to pets, with specific products developed for them, and adjacent ones for their owners, such as bone shaped hair clips ! But all these products are designed for the high end owners and not cheap. ROSYDOEDIAN was first launched as a pet culture brand)via livestream. Pet clothing, accessories, rugs. 29–199 yuan.  Sold out on day one.

Besides, she now has :

• a hot dog stand (yes, kid you not!) for the brand, at Nanjing Deji Plaza (opened ~Aug 2026, 34 yuan average ticket, 2-hour queues at launch)

• a clothing flagship (ROSYDOEDIAN DRIP) that opened Sept 29 in Shanghai's Xuhui Hengfu area — with two giant dachshund installations on a rose-pink sofa. A 163.com article (Oct 8) reports 100 million yuan in sales in three months across the brand.

• a beauty brand, ROSE AMIGO targets the fast-growing neck care segment, with its first registered product being the "Radiant Revitalizing Red Carpet Face and Neck Mask." Products were launched on-line and in pop up shops and will be coming into her shops.
