Girl got praised for her acting and looks in TIA, then the issue happened
Yu Zheng had said he would make her as famous as Bai Lu. That’s why he chose Seeds of Scarlet Longing specifically for her. To ensure its success, they even brought in Zheng Ye Cheng—who is eight times more popular than Zhao Qing in terms of followers and overall fame. But unfortunately, due to the rumors that surfaced, her popularity has completely dropped. And now, it’s uncertain whether she’ll still be part of the drama or not.
The drama she was rumored to join as the female lead a few weeks ago is set to start filming on September 7. Zheng Ye Cheng’s side has confirmed the project, but Zhao Qing’s side remains silent. Either she’s been dropped from the cast, or they’re keeping it under wraps until the opening ceremony to avoid backlash from haters.
I wasn’t talking about Zheng Ye Cheng’s birthday poster. I was referring to the latest poster shared for the Qixi Festival. I submitted a request to MDL, but it’s still under review. Today or tomorrow, they’ll either approve it or cancel it.
After looking around this is probably one of the best Qixi materials today🥹
I guess since it’s not an iQIYI self-produced drama, the producer is managing it independently. And they seem quite responsive to fan feedback. We’ll need to speak up even more in the future so we can get even better content 😂.

I think the producer heard our complaints 😂. ZYC fans had objected to the poster shared at iQIYI’s global conference on Weibo. (From time to time, I also reminded iQIYI to share higher-quality content 😂😂).I'm not saying that's exactly why it happened. I just think everything contributed in some way.
I sent the new poster to replace the cover photo here. I hope the MDL staff approves it. But if iQIYI doesn’t use the new poster, MDL won’t approve it either 😭
One of the Chinese fans said that Mo Dagong’s lawsuit has been resolved (I’m not exactly sure who he is), and that Hero Legends will be released next year. Just a little more waiting. Hopefully, we’ll get to watch the drama in Q1 of next year.
The latest rumor still says that SoSL will begin filming on September 7. I'm really looking forward to that day with great excitement. I'm so happy that Zheng Ye Cheng is joining the new cast 🥹.
I heard some info from fans on XHS about TBBM. This drama isn’t an iQIYI original—it was produced by Yeyua, a subsidiary of Huanrui. Promotional videos and posters are usually handled by the production team. Typically, the producers have their own social media accounts where they release various posters and teasers before the drama airs. iQIYI only occasionally reposts those materials.
Huanrui (Yeyua) has a drama this year that’s been delayed for a long time—Cheng Yi’s The Journey of Legend. It still hasn’t aired, but they’ve already spent a lot of money promoting it across all platforms. Huanrui Yeyua also has several other historical dramas that have passed review and are waiting to be released. That’s why we haven’t seen any new content for this drama in a while. We need to wait for Cheng Yi's drama to be released first so they can have the budget to invest in Ming Yue Cang Mang.
It’s being said that she’ll be the lead actress in the drama Seeds of Scarlet Longing. That rumor was circulating…
In China, if negative rumors start circulating about an actor, even if they’re innocent, their career usually won’t go smoothly for a while. If they have unreleased dramas and those get aired after the controversy dies down, they might return to their normal acting phase. But if they don’t have any upcoming dramas and are involved in a scandal, I’m afraid things won’t go well for them for some time.
As for the drama I mentioned—if the producer had already signed contracts with the cast beforehand, then ZQ might still be part of it. But let me emphasize again: fans on Xiaohongshu are strongly opposing ZQ’s participation in Seeds of Scarlet Longing. Some are even saying they won’t watch the drama if she’s cast.
I’m a fan of Zheng Ye Cheng, who’s set to play the male lead in that drama. And I really liked Zhao Qing too. That’s why I was hoping they’d be the CP in this project. But Chinese fans aren’t like us. If ZQ joins SoSL, the drama might face serious backlash. I feel sorry for Zheng Ye Cheng. Things never go well for him. I really don’t know what will happen anymore.

Ming Yue Cang Mang is also among the dramas that will release content during iQIYI's Qixi Festival 😍😍😍
