Lu Yuxiao has been drawing attention after her physical transformation became increasingly noticeable. She reportedly spent nearly 10 months adjusting her physique for the demands of several upcoming drama projects.
The change has been linked to her role as Nanyi in Why Not Cross the River Together, particularly because the character is portrayed as extremely thin during the early part of the story. Her preparation was also reportedly accompanied by structured dietary adjustments and physical training.
The result has certainly changed her overall presence. Her facial features appear more defined, while her styling now gives off a noticeably cooler and slimmer impression.
But this is where the reaction becomes more complicated. Many viewers have praised her dedication as an actress, while others have expressed concern because the physical change appears quite significant.
Everyone is nervous about the upcoming episodes becuz the storm is coming... 🌪️ Meanwhile we novel readers…
ig no
I notice this time many of us are waiting for their breakup💀 This was never happened in drama land before... fans are literally waiting for the Departure hehe 😭😂
JING BORAN'S JOURNEY: FROM A DIFFICULT CHILDHOOD TO STARDOM
Behind Jing Boran's calm and polished image is a childhood marked by hardship.
Jing Boran's parents separated when he was just 28 days old, and he was raised by his grandparents, with his grandmother playing a particularly important role in his upbringing. His family struggled financially, and his grandparents took on various jobs to support and educate him.
His life became even more difficult as a teenager. When his grandmother faced serious health problems, Jing Boran began taking jobs while still young to help with the family's financial burden. Among the jobs he reportedly did were delivering water, waiting tables, handing out flyers, and other temporary work.
Despite the hardships, he did not give up on his future.
In 2007, his life changed when he won the Chinese talent competition My Hero. That victory launched his entertainment career, first as part of the group BoBo and later as an actor and solo artist.
He would go on to become one of China's most recognizable actors, with major roles in films including Monster Hunt, Time Raiders, and Us and Them.
Jing Boran's story is a reminder that success does not always begin with privilege or opportunity.
Sometimes, it begins with refusing to give up.
From being raised by his grandparents through difficult circumstances to building a successful career in entertainment, Jing Boran's journey adds another layer to the actor many viewers see on screen today.
What part of Jing Boran's journey do you find the most inspiring? 💙
let's be honest, ep 13 luan Nian was horrible. I was supporting him in the earlier episode but there was no excuse…
Jokes a part A gentleman would never behave like that but there are some kinds of boys who start treating their girlfriends this way.. even when her own father has never treated her like that
yk in real life some boys give girls the princess treatment until the girl becomes emotionally attached and vulnerable in the relationship. Then they completely change and start giving orders as if he own her
Personally, I would never tolerate that kind of relationship. Maybe that's why I'm still single and will probably remain single until ........

If his mom's gene hits, he stays gentle
But when his dad's gene kicks, he turns unhinged and starts saying things like this that thingsss
