Lynnea

The actress turns 18 next July.

Duan Xu was kidnapped as a child. His father, to avoid giving in to the kidnappers, abandoned him, telling them they had taken the wrong child (and replacing Duan Xu with a fake son). Duan Xu escapes from the kidnappers and ends up in the assassins' sect. When he escapes from there too, seven years later, he reappears at his family home. At that point, his father makes the fake Duan Xu disappear—sent away for years so no one would know he wasn't the real one—and puts the real one back in its proper place, returning him to the capital.

During Tencent Video All Star Night 2025—around last December—CFY had stated that three of his works would be broadcast in 2026. Three. Love Story in 1970 and Love Beyond the Grave... And the third? I doubt he was referring to a film—the one he's filming now with Wang Yinglu won't be seen until 2027, I think—so... What's missing? I'd say Immortality, but after years of waiting, is it possible that the time has finally come?

Could the next drama be "Destined to Love You" (“偏偏宠爱” by Teng Luo Wei Zhi)? Or are these just old rumors?

As much as I enjoyed him in Lighter & Princess and When Destiny Brings the Demon, I think he truly outdid himself in the recent (March 2026) "Love Story in the 1970s," demonstrating great talent and versatility.

No stupid misunderstandings, no stupid breakups. Ever closer as they face each obstacle one by one. It's truly a drama not to be missed...

In the future, I'd love to see CFY star in a drama set in the Chinese Republican era, perhaps in a military role (something similar to 2021's "Fall in Love"), or a drama with an antihero seeking revenge, like the Kdrama "Vincenzo."

There's not much to say, it's a masterpiece!

Ciao! Devo essermi espressa male in qualche punto perchè dicevo che l'attore principale è l'unica nota positiva del drama a mio avviso. Lo apprezzo molto - infatti ho visto la maggior parte dei drama da lui interpretati - e quel tipo di ruolo (bello e dannato) gli calza a pennello. Mi piacerebbe però vederlo spaziare anche in altri ruoli, in futuro. Fino ad allora mi riservo il dubbio che sia una mancanza di possibilità, di versatilità o di entrambe (sarei ovviamente felice se fosse la prima delle tre)

Do you mean Sima Jiao's snake?

Not for long. He'll stage a wedding—which he'll conveniently cancel at the last minute, thanks to the bride's complicity—and at the same time, he'll manage to get He Simu to capitulate in a far from ordinary way.

Duan Xu plans a marriage with a young woman, secretly agreeing with her to call it off at the last minute (she too is in love with someone else), all the while finding a way to involve/make jealous and ultimately make He Simu capitulate.

yes

I think his versatility is now undeniable. In the last two months, he's gone from a kind, healthy, and cheerful ML in "Love Story in the 1970s" (super green flag!) to a murderous general who slaughters the enemy on the battlefield and beheads his enemies. ^_^

Am I the only one who found episodes 18 and 19 to be subdued? Almost like fillers to lengthen the arc of the spirit realm - adding a whole series of unnecessary themes not present in the novel - with the only result of making us regret the first part of the drama...

I also much prefer the overall Duan Xu version, but I still find the deliberately nagging and capricious interlude in the Void arc amusing. But nothing can compare to ep.8, let's be clear... ^_^

If you found Duan Xu gorgeous in episode 3, I'm curious to see how you find him in ep. 8: he's truly spectacular there! ^_^

I think he gave his best in 2026 with "Love Story in the 1970s" (I really adore Duan Xu, but with his other ML role, he demonstrated impressive versatility and outdid himself!)

Happy Ending (He Simu Becomes Mortal)

No one dies; in fact, it's a drama that lets you experience a warm embrace (and a happy ending).
