It was the last drama he filmed before parting ways with his agency. That’s why it’s said he took on the project without receiving any payment.

These platforms collaborate with certain actors, promoting them across all areas and ensuring their dramas are broadcast. For actors like ZYC, who lack strong connections, their dramas are often delayed or shelved. The years he worked with Youku were the emptiest of his career—many of his dramas never aired. Now he has adopted a new strategy: he accepts second male lead roles in productions backed by powerful companies and participates in medium-length dramas. By doing so, he secures the guarantee that his dramas will be released.

It’s like this because there aren’t any contents related to the drama’s promotion. But for me, even the fact that they made this post is a source of hope. In the past, I was only worried about the promotion, but now I’m anxious about whether it will actually be broadcast. Still, whenever I recall PXR’s words, I feel reassured. She said we would see it in 2026. If she said that, then we definitely will. Also, the fact that the drama’s official account is still posting raises my hopes even more.

Zheng Yecheng and Vin Zhang posted a cosplay to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Love O2O.

Yesterday, to celebrate iQIYI’s 16th anniversary, the Ming Yue Cang Mang Weibo account shared the iQIYI poster. After months, there was finally an update.

I’ll DM you and explain.

Today no content was released. None of the actors attended the iQIYI World Conference. Only the drama production team was announced to participate in the conference. There are so many negative issues. Even the drama’s composer mentioned that financial problems had arisen. Because of this, he said that if the problems are resolved, the drama might be released in the second half of the year. After the news spread, the composer changed his account username and deleted his posts related to the drama. Amid all these negatives, the only positive news was Peng Xiao Ran’s remarks yesterday about the drama’s broadcast.

The new poster screams quality. Whoever is responsible for preparing the promotional materials for this drama is truly a powerhouse of talent.

If the script is beautiful and flows smoothly, there won’t even be a need for promotion. But since promotion helps the drama reach a wider audience, fans always want promotional content. I hope they treat the leads fairly.

We always see that the producers don’t care about promoting the drama, while PXR keeps trying to promote it herself. I hope this drama also achieves strong success—it truly deserves it.

The last melon I heard of was this: https://x.com/i/status/2042537494865207697

PXR talks about the series "The Boundless Bright Moon" in the interview:
A Xianxia drama I filmed earlier called The Boundless Bright Moon will be meeting everyone soon. As for the specific release date, you’ll have to wait for a surprise announcement from me later, because that isn’t something we can decide. However, the role I play this time is quite a breakthrough for me, as it’s my first time acting in a production within the Xianxia genre.

Unfortunately, since these are idol-themed dramas, they prioritize popularity more. If they were based on real history, it would be the opposite. Honestly, I don’t really warm up to WCR either. I don’t even know the reason myself. But I don’t have any negative thoughts toward the actress. I’m just neutral.

Nowadays, actors are chosen for roles based not on their acting talent but on their popularity. Right now, Wang Chu Ran is one of the most popular actresses. Also, since we constantly see actors in the same type of roles, we might think they won’t play in new genres. As for Ao Rui Peng, I trust him. He is a perfect candidate for cold roles. At the same time, in Coroner’s Diary he played someone who was wronged, and in MM he also took on the villain role. I believe he will be able to handle this role as well.

The admin of the Weibo page that promotes the drama recently said that the series might come around May–June.

My purpose in giving Bai Lu as an example was to talk about her partnership with Wang Xing Yue. There was a big age gap between them. But I also really want Bai Lu and ARP to become a CP again 🥹. Bai Lu was ARP’s CP match that I liked the most so far.

Once filming starts, I'm going to set up camp here to support my boy! 😃💘

Ao Rui Peng is the lead!!! 😍😍 I love that this rumor wasn't forgotten and that the CP stayed the same. I hope the costumes are stunning, just like in Moonlight Mystique.

Ao Rui Peng happens to be one of my top favorite actors too. The moment I saw the rumor about him being paired with Ai Mi, I felt like my world was crashing down. What is happening to this industry lately? Women in their 30s are being paired with 22-year-old men (like Wu Jinyan and Bai Lu), while men in their 30s are being matched with actresses who are 18 or even younger.
Thankfully, the rumors about that drama involving ARP and AM have died down, and instead, new scripts are coming in for him. For instance, pairings with Wang Churan, Zhang Miaoyi, or Sun Qian are being discussed.

You are mistaken about this. I’ve seen people who watched this drama without knowing the cast. But in their comments, they think the WuWu couple is the first couple, while Lu Wu Yi & Ji Ling are the second couple. Also, those who watched the illusion inside the stone and the following episodes saw that the WuWu couple was in the spotlight, and that each couple gradually showed their relationship to the audience over time. For example, in the first episodes, the WuWu couple was in the foreground. In the middle episodes, Lu Wu Yi and Ji Ling were highlighted. Now WuWu is again in the spotlight. Everything depends on the script and the storyline.

Another point where you are mistaken is your implication that Shi Guang is weak and Chi Wen is strong. Shi Guang is the tenth true dragon, while Chi Wen is a false dragon trapped in the body of a fox demon.
