Oh that drama. I saw a lot of folks talking about it on twitter/x when it was airing.

LIRD is really special for me because it is the first c-drama I've ever followed from the beginning of when I heard news of Ruohan being casted. I got to learn a lot about the c-entertainment industry and the lingos used in the c-drama world thanks to this drama. I can't wait until this drama gets an official premiere date and see Xingyue & Ruohan reunite for the promos.

I agree..definitely one of the best Qixi clips. The CP vibes here is so strong. Lolz fans on twitter/x were counting how many times Hongce was trying to Dingyi in the clip. 🤣😄

August 29th: Sweetest Rebellion team released a video of Ruohan & Keyu (Daniel) in celebration of Qixi Festival (traditional Chinese equivalent of Valentine's Day).

Yes, they end up living happily together in Khalkha (a place outside of the capital, Beijing).

Lolz out of curiosity...what was the drama?

Even though this one hasn't even aired yet. Fans are wanting them to be paired up again, but in a modern drama because fans from both sides see that they have fun on set together and that they have great chemistry from all the reuters and watching how they interacted at iQIYI event. I can't wait to see more promo videos, posters, and the drama itself as well.

Thank you as well for helping me keep this page/forum/comment section alive. Without you interacting with my post, I don't know if I would have kept posting all these reuter clips for as long as I did. I would have lost any motivation to keep posting without any interaction because it would have felt like I'm talking to myself...lolz. So thanks again.

August 29th: Love in Red Dust team posted a new video of Xingyue & Ruohan to celebrate Qixi Festival (traditional Chinese equivalent of Valentine's Day).

Weibo Caption translation:
"Eyes meet in love, the air is filled with heart-throbs. Watch Yuwen Hongce (Wang Xingyue) and Mu Xiaoshu/Wen Dingyi (Xu Ruohan) embrace in a dreamy, sweet embrace that's meltingly sweet! A heart-to-heart, a two-way journey; a perfect sweetness, overflowing with sweetness."

(the chemistry is definitely chemistrying)

There have been rumors about what's Ruohan's next drama will be and that included a modern drama with Ao Ruipeng and a republic drama with Cheng Lei.

Well it's now confirmed that Ruohan's next drama is going to be the Republic drama, The Lament of Autumn, with Cheng Lei as her ML.

Credit for all this info: https://x.com/xuruohanarchive/status/1957679241602146502

Here are the details to the storyline and other info regarding the drama....

drama: the lament of autumn
starring: cheng lei, xu ruohan
platform: hunan tv/mgtv
genre: republican
based on: lament of autumn by ling xi

director: ju jueliang (til the end of the moon)
screenwriter: ye yang (love’s ambition)

shooting: mid october
duration: 150 days
location: hengdian, shanghai, tianjin

During the warlord era of the Republic of China, student Ye Pingjun sought employment at the Xiangxi Guild Hall to raise money for her mother's medical expenses.

On her first day, she was caught up in an assassination attempt on the fifth son of the Yu family. falsely accused of being a suspect, Ye Pingjun, to protect herself, made a bet with the troublemaker Yu Changxuan to apprehend the culprit within ten days.

Yu Changxuan seized the opportunity to exploit Ye Pingjun and pursue her, using this as a cover to conceal his true intentions. Ye Pingjun was reluctant to engage with Yu Changxuan, but he gradually fell in love with her.

Jiang Xueting, who grew up with Ye Pingjun, returned to China to serve in the military. Yu Changxuan, seeing through Jiang Xueting's unscrupulous nature, was forced to marry Ye Pingjun to protect his beloved and the future of the Yu family army.

After their marriage, the two endured hardships and came to understand each other. However, the tragic death of Ye Pingjun's mother rekindled their rift, and Ye Pingjun, desperate, sought to escape.

Yu Changxuan transforms his grief into strength, devoting himself to saving his country and his people, and confronts Jiang Xueting, who is in the opposing camp.

Years later, amidst the flames of war, Yu and Ye reunite, each seeing the power of faith in the other, and together they face the revolutionary tide and defend their homeland.

So it was suppose to wrap-up the end of this month or Sept 1st and he got it done 2 weeks faster?! Wow...that's really fast because that's a lot of shooting hours he saved. He definitely saved iQIYI some production cost. Hopefully iQIYI will use that money saved and put it into the promotion budget because I want to see Xingyue & Ruohan on variety shows, doing magazine shoots, shooting those CP videos promoting the drama like I've seen these other dramas doing. Am I asking too much? 😄Lolz

Thank you so much for explaining that part! I can't wait for this drama to air. I'm hoping with the news of the shortening of time of China's reviewing process to get a license..will mean we will get this drama on air sooner than a year from now.

Don't know if the English caption from TikTok is correct or not, but it's translated with him saying "....with the beautiful woman next door, Miss Xu Ruohan."🥰 Their fan event was next to each other side by side so that's why he said the "the beautiful woman next door." Too bad we don't know what lead to him saying that sentence.)

I saw on twitter/x that they China is changing their reviewing process and restrictions for long dramas so that dramas can air faster. Have you read about it?

I agree, LIRD bts has been special to watch. I don't know how many times I've watched certain Xingyue & Ruohan bts clips because of how cute their interactions have been off-screen and how amazing their chemistry is while shooting their scenes on-screen.

LOL at you dropping a drama for LIRD bts content. Goes to show how awesome our LIRD CP is. Where as me, I haven't even started watching any dramas because I know I can't focus on that drama while constantly trying to search for LIRD reuters or rewatching those bts clips. If I'm not rewatching those clips, then I'm re-reading the novel all over again or reading certain sections of the novel .

I heard they are going to make changes in China regarding the whole process of reviewing the dramas so we might get LIRD sooner, hopefully 🙏🙏🤞🤞 and not have to wait a year or longer.

Yeah, I saw international fans saying the same as well on Tiktok regarding the lack of CP vibes between Xingyue & FL in that drama and during their promotion as well.

You got that right, no issue at all regarding the chemistry between Xingyue & Ruohan. Their CP vibe is so strong that it helped a lot fans moved on from TBT CP (for the time being) and focus Ruohan & Xingyue budding chemistry as we watched all these reuters of them from the past few months.

AUGUST 16th: A couple of reuters clips from Saturday's filming. A bts video posted on this date by one of the cast member on his Douyin account.

Ruohan looks so young, fresh, and beautiful in these photos. I always thought she looked similar to Jennie from BLACKPINK and in those photos of her wearing the Calvin Klein cropped top and jeans she really really looks like Jennie. Thank you for posting these photos and video.

AUGUST 13th: We get reuters of Xingyue & Ruohan filming a scene outside with them riding horses and goofing around while waiting to filming. They also filmed some important scenes such as Xiaoshu getting bullied by the soldiers & Hongce rescuing her, and where Xiaoshu is discovered to be a girl.
