I’ve heard from fans on Weibo that apparently Jeremy is very proud of this role and really excited about the upcoming broadcast. Considering that he usually is very low-key, it must be dynamite!
I so hope that this role will give his career the boost that he deserves 🙏

Yeheee! I am so so looking forward to the broadcast! 😍😍😍😍😍

Yes, in the novel the character sounds very interesting and I love political power play dramas. Sadly most screenwriters seem to think we are all stupid, so they dumb everything down and replace it with cheesy romance (just as they did with Love of Nirvana). Hopefully, this time they will make an effort to give us something good. The novel seems to have a lot of fans who don’t want them to mess with the original character setting.
Don’t worry about the 853 chapters 😃 I love reading!

Thank you for the explanation. I haven’t read the book yet, but will start soon. Moping about his dead wife and brooding revenge is what I want to see!! He will be excellent at it!
However, I saw some comments on XHS about his character and many fans were afraid that the scriptwriters wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation to create a love triangle between him and the FL who, if I understood correctly, carries the soul of his deceased wife. His character in Love of Nirvana was also very good in the novel, but the screenwriters completely ruined it and turned him into a dumb wit stalker instead.🤬
He has a good relationship with Meng Ziyi, so I hope she will look out for him.🙏

Some of these drama titles are really cheesy, but it doesn’t bother me. The most important thing is a good script!
I just just hope that this time around the scriptwriters won’t screw my homeboy Jeremy again like they did in Love of Nirvana.

The name of the drama has now been officially changed to 百花杀 (Bai Hua Sha).
The English title seems to be ‘Blossoms of Power’.
After ‘Blossom’ and ‘Royal Rumours’ (the Chinese title is Hua Liuli Anecdote) this will be Meng Ziyi’s third drama with ‘Hua’ (= flower) in the title.
Since all of last year’s dramas with this word in their name have fared relatively well, I guess it should be taken as a good omen.

He “retired” only for about half a year due to problems with his useless agency and his father being sick. He announced his official comeback in September 2024.

Haha, neither can I 😂
I did a machine translation from the Chinese original because at the time there wasn’t a translated version (now there is).

I don’t know if you read the novel behind Love of Nirvana. I did and I had high hopes for this role as the Pei Yan in the novel was fantastic! Clever, scheming and domineering. However, instead of giving him such a role, they turned the drama Pei Yan into a dumbwit stalker, always outwitted by either the ML or the FL. He had to permanently keep a stooped posture so as to not look too domineering next to the much shorter ML. His best lines were cut and even the scream (after An Cheng dies) that they filmed and that we saw in the trailer was deleted in the end.
His acting was great, but all the credit for the success of the drama went to the rather mediocre lead couple.
Similarity to Pei Yan, Jeremy must have seen something intriguing in this new role as Xiao Changqing. I just hope that by the time the finished drama hits the screen it will still be there.

There are some persistent rumours saying that Jeremy will star in Dong Feng Xin (Meng Ziyi’s new drama). The role would be Xiao Changqing, the second male lead who seems to be a very complex character involved in the power struggle at court.
The official confirmation of the lineup will be on 17/03/2025 and filming is supposed to start on 07/04/2025.
While I am very happy to see Jeremy return to filming, I am rather disappointed by the choice of drama. After his comeback I had hoped that he would transition into more serious roles that do justice to his acting skills, not do another stupid idol drama, and as 2nd male lead to boot! That’s just asking to get screwed again, like he was by the scriptwriters and director on Love of Nirvana. They will never allow an SML to steal the limelight from their leading man by showing off his acting prowess and his handsome face.

You’re right! The story is interesting with many very funny scenes and the acting is decent. Overall a very entertaining drama!
It’s just a bit low on the obvious pretty boy idol factor, hence the rating on MDL will be ridiculously low compared to other dramas that may be full of bad acting and plot holes the size of Switzerland.

He was born to be a dragon 🐉
On his XHS account he posted a clip of himself morphing into Nezha’s dad (also a dragon), a perfect likeness!
If ever they do a live action version of this, he should be 1st choice for the role!

I wish he could get a similar role again. On top of the engaging acting, he looked fantastic in that uniform!

Haha, my bad 😳 I didn’t pay attention to the English title of this one.
I looks like Wu Lei is confirmed then.

Tell Jeremy’s shitty agency! I don’t think he is too thrilled about being stuck with teenage acting trainees in nearly every single drama.
Hopefully, after his comeback he will get some more appropriate roles as he has most definitely outgrown the idol drama genre.

Unlikely, he seems to have accepted another high-level project (Chinese title: The Great Road to Heaven) which starts shooting in May.

I just watched the first six episodes of “Les Belles” and it is hilarious! Great fun to watch!

He has “come back” 😂
Jeremy was spotted in Hengdian. By the looks of it he is filming a guest appearance (as the villain) in the drama ‘Southern Anecdote’.
So far no official confirmation, just him coming out of makeup every morning looking great.

We have NEWS!
Jeremy is back in Hengdian, filming. So far no details have been confirmed officially, but according to rumours he is doing a guest role in ‘Southern Anecdote’. The character is called Zhang Ruipu and seems to be a villain.
Way to go, Jeremy! He will be irresistible as a charming villain 😂

You can watch it here.

So far only half of the episodes have been released (the drama was bought and broadcast by a South Korean platform as it cannot air in China).
Also, the machine translation is abominable! I could barely follow the plot and I am very used to Mango TV subtitles.
