Based on a BL novel "The Husky and His White Cat Shizun" ;)

Fnished filming in 2020. 

Unlikely that the series will ever be released. The  primary reason for delaying appears to be China's censorship policies, particularly regarding danmei (boys' love) content.

Actor: Zhang Ling He (The Princess Royal 2024 / Story of Kunning Palace 2023)

Based on a BL novel "Heaven Official's Blessing" ;)

Fnished filming in 2022. 

Unlikely that the series will ever be released. The  primary reason for delaying appears to be China's censorship policies, particularly regarding danmei (boys' love) content.

Finished filming in 2017. 

Unlikely that the series will ever be released. The show was indefinitely postponed and never aired due to scandals involving its lead actors: Fan Bing Bing (FL) (tax evasion) and Gao Yun Xiang (ML) (sexual assault accusations). ML was rumoured to be replaced by Dylan Kuo, but probably never was.

Fnished filming in 2017. 

Unlikely that the series will ever be released. The lead actor Zhang Zhe Han has been involved in controversies. In August 2021, Zhang Zhehan had visited Yasukuni Shrine in Japan. In China, Yasukuni Shrine is an extremely sensitive symbol of Japanese militarism and wartime atrocities. Any Chinese public figure appearing to visit or show respect there is perceived as deeply unpatriotic or "insulting to the nation.”
