I would love to see any one of these actors — Tan Jianci, Zhou Yiran, Wang Xingyue, Yan An, Liu Yuning, Xu Kai, or Lai Weiming — cast as the male lead in this drama. However, even if the director chooses someone else, that's fine too, because Meng Ziyi has great chemistry with everyone!

I don’t think so! The FL looks absolutely gorgeous, like a queen, while the maid looks pretty and innocent. But honestly, the FL is so much more attractive, and their beauty is on completely different levels. The maid doesn’t even look like she could pass herself off as the FL

Dear Meng Ziyi ❤️🥹💗 The wait is almost over! I’ve been waiting for your new drama for an entire year, and now I can’t contain my excitement anymore! 😭❤️ Just a little more time, and finally, I’ll get to see you shine on my screen again. ✨🫶🏻 My heart has been waiting for this moment for so long! 💕👑

⏳⏳🤌

They had plenty of time to choose the actor, but they still haven’t decided who should play the role. November is almost here, and Endless Summer will probably wrap up filming by late November or mid-December. There are also rumors about a new drama starring Meng Ziyi and Cheng Lei, so let’s see whether they manage to choose an actor by December or not.

Stop commenting like this. Are you crazy or what, coming into this comment section just to get yourself insulted? If you don't like Meng Ziyi, then what's the point of coming here? Ohhh, right! You're just jealous because your so-called favorite actress isn't getting any good scripts. Jealous girl! People like you are so jealous of Meng Ziyi that you'll write just about anything in her comment section. Seriously, you idiot, I don't know why haters like you keep coming to Meng Ziyi's comment section just to get roasted. We've watched her shows and dramas, so you don't need to tell us whether she can act or not. Just focus on your own favorite actress; that's what's best for you. You stupid little weirdo!

Will the ML be a playboy? Because when I look at Cheng Lei, he doesn’t give off playboy vibes. He gives more possessive, obsessed, and jealous vibes. They might have to change his styling a bit, but this casting is still one of my dream castings. I just hope it gets confirmed!

Maybe the filming of Endless Summer will be finished next month. After that, Meng Ziyi might take some time to rest before starting the filming of Have It All. But there’s still no news about the ML, and no actor’s name has even appeared in the ML rumors. I feel like Meng Ziyi herself might choose a suitable ML for this drama, just like she chose Heyu for Blossom of Power.

I'm so excited for this drama! I don't know the story yet, but I watched the trailer and a BTS clip where the villain was forcibly carrying the FL in his arms. So, is the villain obsessed with the FL and possessive of her?

I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS DRAMA, I CAN’T EVEN EXPLAIN 😭💗

Girl, you’re back in this comment section again? You said Meng Ziyi is “too old” and “cringe,” and that when you see her in KR, she does such cringe things that you feel like slapping her while watching her. You also said she doesn’t know how to act and is always acting girlish.

If you hate Meng Ziyi that much, why do you care so much about whether she lip-syncs or not? Why are you so obsessed with it? Your first comment already got you plenty of hate and insults—wasn’t that enough that you came back to leave another comment just to get dragged again? 😂

And if you really hate Meng Ziyi, focus on your favorite actress or actor instead. That would be much better for you.

Are these people completely out of their minds? Claiming every single Meng Ziyi drama "feels like the same genre and character"? Seriously? 😒
You’ve probably watched a grand total of two dramas—like Blossom and Blossoms of Power—and suddenly show up in the comment section trying to lecture everyone on what "real acting" is.
Honestly, keep your useless "wisdom" to yourself. You’re not dropping actual facts; you’re just showing off how clueless you are. If you lack the basic capacity to understand character depth and range, stop giving advice nobody asked for!

You’re clearly watching C-dramas on 2x speed with your eyes closed, because calling Meng Ziyi "repetitive" is the ultimate proof that you lack basic character comprehension.
When other actresses play the exact same trope 3 or 4 times, you don't utter a word. But now that Meng Ziyi has been booming for the last two years, suddenly you're complaining about "same character, same genre"?

Hua Liuli (Royal Rumours): A hilarious, comedic masterpiece—a secretly powerful martial artist acting like a delicate, sickly damsel to play the court like a chessboard.

Lei Chun (Heroes): A tragic, dark villain arc—evolving from a gentle, innocent girl into a cold, calculating faction leader.

Ye Hongyu (Ever Night): An aloof, ruthless, and independent swordswoman who takes orders from no one.

Wen Qing (The Untamed): A stoic, noble doctor carrying the tragic burden of sacrificing everything for her family.

Dou Zhao (Blossoms of Power): A calm, rational mastermind playing the long-game revenge strategy.

If serving main character aura, unmatched screen presence, and top-tier visuals in every drama is "giving the same vibe," then I hope she never stops! Confusing an actor’s signature star power with "playing the same character" is a vision problem, not a Meng Ziyi problem.
If you can't spot the difference between a tragic villain, a comedic schemer, and a stoic swordswoman, move on. Get your eyes checked before speaking on character depth. 💅✨

Is there any new information about the drama?

its filming period was said to be around 90 days (almost 3 months).

You can’t say that Meng Ziyi only does rebirth dramas just because you’ve watched two of her dramas. Meng Ziyi has only done three rebirth dramas: Blossom, Blossom of Power, and Empress Reborn. Her other dramas are completely different. She has two modern dramas, Endless Summer and San Xian Mi Hui, while Tigers Sniff the Rose, Have It All, The Great Pie, Beautiful Lantern Festival, Royal Rumours, The Princess’s Gambit, and The Legend of Heroes are all different historical dramas with different genres and stories. Watch more of her dramas before judging her.

But my favorite pairing is Meng Ziyi and Deng Wei. I saw a picture of them together, and their vibe was so cool. They both looked really attractive together.

checked the latest reports, and yes, it’s possible in theory—but there’s currently no reliable evidence that Zhao Lusi is joining Ci Tang

As of August 12, the female lead was still officially unannounced, with several names—including Lu Yuxiao, Zhang Ruonan, Yang Chaoyue, Sun Qian and Song Zuer—being circulated by different rumor accounts but
A newer report says a leaked schedule has Lu Yuxiao entering the production in October, while Zhang Linghe starts earlier

couldn't find a credible report connecting Zhao Lusi to Ci Tang specifically because she was seen in Hengdian on September 1–2.
Her being in Hengdian is interesting, but Hengdian is a major filming base, so simply being there doesn't establish that she's part of this particular production.
Importantly, Ci Tang's female-lead situation has been unusually unstable, with multiple replacement rumors circulating for month
