yes seems like and I heard the makeup artist is the one who did Veils Of Shadow ,Fangs of Fortunes And The Director is The One Who Did Love Of Thousand Years
just wanted to talk abt how #zhaolusi studio’s ip drama “sonder: i am not npc” has the coolest concept ever
1. production staff have fixed salaries however the actors do not (not sure abt directors)
• only after the drama is released and generates profit (after deducting production costs) then the remaining profit is distributed to the actors
• success or failure and whether the drama can make money depends entirely on the audience, views and quality of the drama! everyone came together bcs of their love for creation and wanted to focus purely on creating a good project
2. each fl has their own director bcs the story is told from each of their pov (super cool concept?!) even the director of love of thousand years is part of the team
3. no investors or sponsorships involved
4. their livestreams lasted hours the past two days just to give everyone a glimpse of behind the scenes (makeup, hair, script, interviews etc) - they’re currently still live omg
5. they’re also working with great styling teams (they styled for vos fof mjty etc)
Director Lu Tian has reunited with Zhao Lusi. The two previously worked together on Love of Thousand Years (《三千鸦杀》).
The director said:
“This time, it was actually a very big coincidence. We already had another project that we were going to work on together, so I went to Chengdu. Lusi then told me about the idea for this project, and I felt that it was very interesting. I also thought it was a good project because it creates opportunities for new directors and allows for different perspectives in storytelling.
I myself specialize in historical romantic dramas, so I felt this was a very good opportunity. More importantly, the two of us had previously worked together on Love of Thousand Years, and this time we are returning to Hengdian to work together again. So it feels like ‘the best arrangement—doing the right thing with the right person.’”
Lusi May Be Present On The Opening Ceremony Of The Drama Sonder I Am Not NPC She Is The Producer And Her Douyin IP Is Currently In Area Around Hengdian

💡Plot Introduction
As a woman of the marquis household, do you wish to retrieve your mother’s dowry and remains? If accepted, it wouldn’t just be the dowry and remains delivered, but also your mother’s divorce decree and your own severance from kin document handed over.
Processed as a faked death and turned into a shadow figure lurking behind your brothers, do you long to return to a normal life? If accepted, not only would your name and status be restored, but all the family wealth would be placed in your hands, allowing you to pursue your ambitions freely.
Do you wish to rescue your mother-in-law from her suffering? If accepted, it wouldn’t merely rebirth her, but also provide you both a place to rely on.
Fengteng (逢灯) – An existence that seeks convenience for women and accepts their requests.
Having crawled up from hell, Lanzhen stood tall in the world as “Fengteng.” Step by step, she wove a net that enveloped heaven and earth.
One day, when she accepted the request of the deposed crown princess, she knew – the chance for revenge had arrived.
💡Detailed Introduction
“Fengteng” is a special existence that handles tasks on behalf of women and resolves their requests upon acceptance.
The name “Fengteng” originates from “dark night encountering a lamp.” It means encountering a single lantern flame in the dark night. It’s also a metaphor for the moment when, amid despair and chaos, one unexpectedly receives help and discovers a new path. That’s why this word carries a subtle warmth. One hopes that every woman, in her moments of hardship, will encounter her own “Fengteng.”
Each request in the story is crafted with the completeness of an independent tale. The characters’ narratives are solidly built, and the ensemble drama created by diverse figures is equally striking. Themes of solidarity among women and resilient vitality permeate every corner of the narrative.
In particular, all the events are tightly interconnected. The process of setting up a grand scheme to resolve the grievances of the innocent is thrilling. As the incidents grow ever more complex, they deliver an even greater sense of immersion.
“Fengteng” scatters the sparks of hope. It extends light to women in the darkness and reveals that life holds other choices.
Even if “Fengteng” were to vanish someday, the sparks of hope would continue to endure.
Just as a single small spark can illuminate an entire field.

《The Shuttle Master》 -
💡Plot Summary
The Empress took a time travel potion for the Emperor. Returning to the past, she discovers a shocking truth. The Emperor's lifelong unforgettable first love, that 'Bai Yueguang (the ultimate favorite you can never forget, like a first love)' was none other than herself.
The Emperor, Xiao Yi, had a first love named Ah Jiao, a palace maid who had already passed away. To meet her again, he creates a 'Shuttle' that allows him to traverse time.
The Empress, Jiang Wan, has lived with him for five years as a substitute for Ah Jiao. She knew all the facts, yet she still loved Xiao Yi.
In the end, Jiang Wan takes the potion prepared by the Emperor first and returns to six years ago. Her goal is to prevent the tragedy.
But something unexpected happens. She has become Ah Jiao upon returning to the past.
She grows up alongside Xiao Yi, who has not yet become Emperor, navigates the power struggles by his side, and helps him ascend to the throne.
And Xiao Yi falls in love with Ah Jiao.
But what he loves is the being called 'Ah Jiao.' He does not know that the person by his side is actually the Empress, Jiang Wan.
The most heartbreaking twist comes next.
In fact, Xiao Yi had also traveled from the future to the past.
In different timelines, he constantly crosses paths with Jiang Wan. In one time, she was the Empress; in another, she was Ah Jiao.
He always loved the same person, but he never realized that she was the same person.
Finally, Jiang Wan realizes.
The very fate of being a 'substitute' that she desperately tried to escape was herself.
She was the light that illuminated his childhood and the shadow cast by his side after he grew up.
But the two people existing in different times ultimately miss each other.
They always loved the same person, but never once recognized each other in the right time.

#ZhaoLusi: I'm so thrilled! Is everyone feeling happy?
Because I've mentioned before that every time I get to meet everyone, it's always a day that fills me with energy too. So today is just the same.
Actually, let me share a little secret with you. I signed my contract to enter the industry on August 15, 2016. So today happens to be exactly the 10-year anniversary.
That's why I feel so much about it. I won't say too much about other things, or if I do, I'll get too excited and won't be able to control my emotions again.
Today also coincides perfectly with the announcement of news about various upcoming projects. And I've always thought that for this 10-year anniversary milestone, besides the concert, I want to give everyone some kind of surprise.
So I thought, maybe I could share some of my beloved collectibles that I've gathered over the years with all the fans 🥰🥰
I hope that all of us can keep moving forward together forever, including every single fan. No matter if you become models, writers, screenwriters, actors, singers, or pursue whatever it is you want to do.
I also hope that from now on, I can be someone who supports you and stands as your pillar.
So, I hope we can keep walking together for another 20 years, 30 years, or 40 years.
Yes, there's nothing more to say. I just feel so incredibly happy 🥹🥹

《Who Calls Me from Her Homeland》
💡Plot Summary
On March 26, 2013, two incidents occurred in a small county along the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. One of them could hardly be called big or small.
The body of a 44-year-old woman, Ji Ying (季颖), was discovered by a fishing boat in the river. Police investigation revealed that she was an expert swimmer, capable of crossing the Yangtze even in winter, but this time she had met with an accident while swimming under the influence of alcohol. In response, the county stepped up safety education efforts.
The other incident involved Ye Chenglin (叶成林), a forest policeman, who was suddenly taken into custody by police while on duty, with the reason remaining undisclosed at the time. His colleagues described Ye Chenglin as a man of upright character and strong principles, someone who would never break the law.
The two incidents briefly became the talk of the town among citizens before quickly fading into obscurity.
But for the people connected to those incidents, life began to unravel completely.
Ji Ci (季辞), a 24-year-old international student on the verge of graduation, was urgently summoned back to handle her mother's funeral.
Ye Ximu (叶希木), an 18-year-old high school senior preparing for college entrance exams, had to temporarily leave school and do everything in her power to address the issue of her father's detention.
Two incidents that seemed utterly unrelated, two people who didn't know each other, two parallel lines that would never have crossed in the ordinary course of events—thus became fatefully intertwined.
*The original title is , where "that" refers to a man… Rosa changed the title of this work to and the English title to Who Calls Me from Her Land…
The female protagonist keeps having the same recurring nightmare. In the dream, a man kills her over and over again. The dream is so vivid that the wounds she sustains in it leave identical marks on her real body.
In reality, she lives in the Republic of China era, set against the backdrop of old Shanghai, and finds herself constantly entangled in bizarre incidents.
As the investigation progresses, she falls deeper into confusion. She discovers that the man who tried to kill her in the dream actually exists in reality as well. The two become fatefully intertwined, and the story unfolds as a blend of elements like past-life grudges from dream murders, Republic of China-era mysteries, and revenge. The boundary between reality and nightmares gradually blurs, and the events from the dream begin to materialize one by one in reality as well.

Processed as a faked death and turned into a shadow figure lurking behind your brothers, do you long to return to a normal life?
If accepted, not only would your name and status be restored, but all the family wealth would be placed in your hands, allowing you to pursue your ambitions freely.
Do you wish to rescue your mother-in-law from her suffering?
If accepted, it wouldn’t merely rebirth her, but also provide you both a place to rely on.
Fengteng (逢灯) – An existence that seeks convenience for women and accepts their requests.
Having crawled up from hell, Lanzhen stood tall in the world as “Fengteng.”
Step by step, she wove a net that enveloped heaven and earth.
One day, when she accepted the request of the deposed crown princess, she knew – the chance for revenge had arrived.
💡Detailed Introduction
“Fengteng” is a special existence that handles tasks on behalf of women and resolves their requests upon acceptance.
The name “Fengteng” originates from “dark night encountering a lamp.” It means encountering a single lantern flame in the dark night. It’s also a metaphor for the moment when, amid despair and chaos, one unexpectedly receives help and discovers a new path. That’s why this word carries a subtle warmth. One hopes that every woman, in her moments of hardship, will encounter her own “Fengteng.”
Each request in the story is crafted with the completeness of an independent tale. The characters’ narratives are solidly built, and the ensemble drama created by diverse figures is equally striking. Themes of solidarity among women and resilient vitality permeate every corner of the narrative.
In particular, all the events are tightly interconnected. The process of setting up a grand scheme to resolve the grievances of the innocent is thrilling. As the incidents grow ever more complex, they deliver an even greater sense of immersion.
“Fengteng” scatters the sparks of hope.
It extends light to women in the darkness and reveals that life holds other choices.
Even if “Fengteng” were to vanish someday, the sparks of hope would continue to endure.
Just as a single small spark can illuminate an entire field.
