Today at 12:00 there will be a live broadcast featuring Ren Jialun, Wang Herun, Wang Yilun, and Xiao Shunyao. I think that’s why the release time of the new episodes was changed.

This is a prequel A Moment but Forever

I selfishly hope this isn’t his last series in this kind of genre. Though I understand why he’s now starting to move toward more serious projects. But who am I supposed to watch in xianxia or pseudo-historical dramas then? Well, okay — there’s still Deng Wei and Wang Duo. And Guo Jingming’s dramas. And that’s it. Everyone else just doesn’t work for me. No matter how much I’ve tried watching others, it’s never quite right.

For those worried about the series ending — the director himself said today that it will have a happy ending.
A screenshot of his post is in the photo. Translation:

"Over the past two days, I’ve seen some very interesting discussions: everyone says that I am “the man who twice ‘cut out Jia Lun’s bones.’” From the perspective of the plot, that is indeed true.

However, although both dramas are stories “born from bones,” the meaning of these two instances of “bone removal” is completely different — one leads to death, the other to life.

Thank you all for your many years of love for “Zhou Sheng Ru Gu” (“One and Only”)! Please don’t worry: this time, “Fate Chooses You” has an HE (happy ending)! "

In my language, there’s a term that unites pseudo-historical dramas, xianxia, wuxia, and xuanhuan. So I usually keep it in mind when writing posts, but in English the best translation would be “costume dramas.”

I know that xianxia is often just a transitional genre for actors, but I love beautiful stories and fairy tales, so a bit selfishly, I’m sad that I might not get to seeRen Jialun in them anymore. Still, as his fan, I wish him growth and prosperity—and to do only what HE truly likes.

I’m currently watching Love of Nirvana, and I really like the story, the well-chosen cast, the balance of humor and tragedy, and the clear transformation and growth of the main characters. It’s a pity I missed it back when it first came out.

As for future projects, I’ll watch anything and support Jialun.

I didn’t mean the xianxia genre specifically. We were rather talking about historical dramas — real historical ones, not fictional stories set in a certain era. Isn’t participating in such state-backed series a sign of recognition for an actor?

Fate Chooses You (佳偶天成)

Tagline:
The key to breaking through trials in the human world

Sorry, I phrased that incorrectly. Li Chu was a descendant of Li Shimin. What I meant is that Ren Jialun already has experience playing emperors/heirs of the Tang dynasty.

I’ve heard something similar too. But for now, both Ren Jialun’s team and he himself are staying silent, so I’m treating all this information very critically. If it does turn out to be true, it will be really interesting, especially since Ren Jialun has already played a descendant of Li Shimin. I would gladly watch such a project.

Yes, in China people don’t really pay attention to that. There are other actors for kissing and “hot” scenes. Ren Jialun is loved именно for his acting skills. That’s why he wasn’t blamed for the failure of *Love and Crown*—everyone knew what was happening during the filming of that drama and what sacrifices he made to leave his agency. He’s also adored for the kind of person he is.

Even without promotion, FChY already has almost 2.5 million reservations on iQIYI and over 1.6 million on Tencent. And Tencent only bought the drama about a month ago.

I really hope for a good storyline (I even read the novel) and great special effects. And of course, I want a happy ending))

I also really love historical dramas and dream that Ren Jialun will star in more of them. But I think he’s tired of the accusations about the lack of kisses, hot scenes, and happy endings, so he wants to distance himself from projects like that.
I’ll probably cry while watching FCY, because it might be his last drama in this genre.

I don’t think it’s worth expecting romantic dramas from Jialun anymore. He’s already tired of them. I think he’s aiming for more serious projects. But I could be wrong.
Aside from Love and Crown, his dramas last year were very successful. Both TDHR and Silent Tides have already been broadcast multiple times on China’s central TV channels in 2026.
As for endings, in China there isn’t the same fixation on happy endings as in the English-speaking world.

After *Fate Chooses You*, we’re expecting his modern detective drama *Abyss*, which is also produced by a strong team. The original novel has been published and holds a 7.6 rating on Douban, along with many positive reviews. Unfortunately, in the English-speaking sphere, this genre isn’t as popular as xianxia or pseudo-historical dramas.

As for historical works, this is one of the biggest concerns among Jialun’s fans—that he might stop taking on this genre altogether. However, during a New Year livestream, Dage reassured fans that if there’s a good script, he wouldn’t mind doing a historical project. In the same stream, he also mentioned that a script he liked is currently being refined, though he didn’t reveal any details.

I also really love the drama *One and Only*, and I absolutely adore TDHR—that’s why I’m expecting a great story here too. I’m very happy that I’ll finally see Jialun in xianxia again, but I also feel a bit sad because this might be his last drama in this genre. Although he did promise that if there’s a good script, he would gladly take on a historical or fantasy series again.
