Me too, but I think he wanted to promote WoF again
Idk with all those rumor, we should hear something already if he is starting a new drama in 2 weeks.

LYX has risen beyond idol romance dramas into the rare tier of Big ML actors—(can secure investment for S++ projects without female lead). Industry insiders call him both an IP & a Big ML actor. Lyx keeps a low profile, focuses on philanthropy, and spreads Chinese culture rather than chasing hype or trending on SM. Not Loud doesn’t mean he is not popular.

His achievements prove his popularity & influence: FIRST and ONLY Chinese actor honored as Cultural Ambassador by Thai gov., honored with red carpet finale & multiple presenting roles breaking 32 years long norms in Singapore Star Awards, 2consecutive years with dramas on CCTV CPOP, referenced at CCP political conferences two years in a row, breaking ceilings on Youku, Mango TV, and Migu, and even two Madame Tussaud statues unveilings at once.

He simply doesn’t need romance dramas anymore—unless the script interests him. Idol Romance drama is a path is for aspiring actors. And not everyone loves romance drama, I find idol Romance drama cheesy, I skip the romance when watching C drama, the fact that many CP fans becoming toxic and not allowing other CP etc not helping either.

In term of financial independence, Big ML actor got paid A LOT more bcs there is only 1 lead actor instead of 2.

Whispers of Fate is a Heroism drama with no romance. It gave the Mango TV it's most viewed drama and the highest quarterly revenue in over a decade. For me Tang Li Ci in WoF is LYX best acting so far, no trace of performance. It is very beautiful in all aspect.

LYX’s longtime fans know his tough start—signed to a near-bankrupt singer agency, not film. That agency sold his acting rights, leaving him with just 5,000 RMB salary and 10% of acting fees for eight years (court-backed, he sued but lost) until April 2022. His agency survived off his Runyu role and later produced Whispers of Fate, Peeling Cocoon, and more, with LYX as the sole breadwinner of its now 100-person team.

He never led big IP dramas, but smaller ones—Immortality, TTEOTM, WoF—became hits because of him. Pediatrician struggled with the FL’s character but still won Sat. TV yearly views and a government award. Love is Panacea did well on CCTV8 claiming to top 8 most watch drama on CCTV8.

LYX relies on talent and acting skill, walking the thorny path of C-ent without capital support. Today he’s called an “IP actor,” holding 3 platform ceilings with TTEOTM and WoF. He’s the only C-actor besides Hu Ge with two Madame Tussaud unveilings at once, the only one referenced two years in a row at the highest CCP political conference, and the only to receive CPOP selection and nomination two years running. I can go on…..His low key, hard work finally paid off, insider knows how valuable he is. He is never loud but full of achievement.

WoF appeals to non-romance drama fans with its Buddhist-rooted heroism, explaining why it became the most-watched C-drama in Thailand’s history. Producers positioned it as a heroism, non-romance drama; there is no Romance tag here too. Mango’s financial statement 4 days ago confirmed WoF drove the highest quarterly revenue in its history as a listed company in over 11 years. Bloomberg’s China equivalent reported 560M RMB in ad revenue, with ad rates jumping from 1.8M to 2.6M due to its unprecedented popularity (5x the cost of average Mango ads). It is Mango TV’s most-watched drama in 5 years. While Yunhe gave WoF 11M/episode LOL hahaha, the listed company’s financials are definitive (a state-owned company won’t risk delisting because of reporting false financial data to favor any drama).

MDL’s audience prefers romance, but WoF also proves non-romance drama can break platform level too. TTEOTM is also my fav; both dramas of Luo Yunxi broke 3 platform levels, Youku, Mango, and Migu. One romance, one non-romance, each has its own audience.

It is just not as loud here in MDL’s romance-focused platform. He has not filmed any romance drama since 2023.

agree, it was not like that in MDL 5-6 yrs ago, but the last 2 years this is happening more and more.

Yes starts airing in 21 countries in Africa 28 April, today.

How incredible is Luo Yunxi’s Whispers of Fate! Mango TV’s 2025 financial statement reveals that Q4 revenue hit the highest quarterly level in the company’s history since going public in 2015 💪🎉🎉🎉. Known primarily for variety shows, Mango TV had no major variety hit in Q4—the only blockbuster drama in Q4 is Whispers of Fate. For the first time, its Film & Drama merchandise division turned a profit, thanks to Whispers of Fate.

Meanwhile, Huace Film & TV, WoF’s exclusive overseas distributor, successfully sold the drama to over 23 platforms, over 120 countries across 1,500+ cities worldwide, also reporting a huge surge in Q4 revenue. Easemoney confirmed that Whispers of Fate generated 560M in advertising, supporting all the data.

With Luo Yunxi’s drama, low marketing costs translated into real profit—a rare feat in the industry…. When other big Platform is still booking loss instead of profit.

Give you a clue, A Rival aired in the same time slot. A Fandom who got upset when WoF views on MangoTV surpassed their drama. The last one was mad after LYX’s team refuted a rumored project with their Fav. So actually ttl 3 not 2 downvoting LOL.
As a low profile artist with minimal promo, daily ridicule from other fandoms is constant. Still, WoF’s performance is excellent. My summary of WoF achievement https://kisskh.at/755725-shui-long-yin/discussions/146888-shui-long-yin-whispers-of-fate-3weeks-post-svip-finale-achievements

Today brought more good news, Q4 when SLY aired was the highest revenue of Quarterly Financial Report in Mango TV history in over a decade….

Other 🍉

Solo concert: September

"Changan Paper and Ink Records", The script continues to be revised, LYX is not satisfied wt the script yet. The production team is still working on it, so LYX takes another project….take this with a huge grain of salt.
Which means this could be still be his farewell drama from his agency??? 👀👀???

This maybe the more reliable 🍉 right now among the others:

乘着歌声的翅膀/ Singing Wing/Spring Echoes, Modern Emotional Suspense, Revenge and Reasoning.
16 Episodes, Tencent (🍉 said: just recently being approved by Tencent wt LYX as ML no FL selected at that time, LYX has not worked with Tencent for a few years)
Startup time : Expected mid- May 2026
Filming location : Guangzhou – 70 days
The screenwriter: Yao Rui and Shi Yifan, winners of the FIRST International Film Festival's Best Screenplay award.
Main plot (taken from producer promotional material in MIP London)
In the small southern city in the early 21st century, a tragic school accident claimed the lives of 6 middle school students. The town, overwhelmed with grief and anger, directs its fury at the female teacher who organized the trip. Yet some evade responsibility, while others benefit from the tragedy. Fourteen years later, those connected to the accident begin to die mysteriously, while others turn on each other. In a web of manipulation, an unseen hand orchestrates the chaos. Behind the intrigue and power struggles, two determined individuals emerge. Fourteen years later, Cai Nian, the daughter of the condemn female teacher and and Tong Ziming, the son of the driver, join forces to unravel the truth and restore justice in the city.

Luo Yunxi: Tong Ziming (the driver’s son).
Character introduction: He is a watch repairman in Shamen County. His handsome features are unable to conceal his languid and decadent demeanor. He measures time by turning the hands of the watch with his fingertips, but his heart is imprisoned by the heavy guilt of a tragic car accident 17 years ago. He is aloof and detached, exiling himself in his small stall, living a muddled life while holding the sharp edge of his still-burning blood.

FL? The name changed twice a week, so let’s wait ,🍉 said many actresses want this project- Hoping they get strong actress to match Luo Yunxi’s acting. Latest name is Mao Xiao Tong

If 🍉is true, imo this kind of project feels like the perfect opportunity for him to sharpen his skill very exciting. This would be his most down to earth character to date, the type of character on my wish list.

Thank you, this Sohu YT is truly a gem. LYX is silently working on producing his own music 👀???

Beijing Youth Daily, another CCP newspaper wrote about LYX attending the awards:

“Recently, the 31st Star Awards, Singapore’s most prestigious and influential Chinese-language TV awards ceremony, officially announced that Luo Yunxi, A TALENTED ACTOR AND SINGER from mainland China, will attend the ceremony as both an “Award Presenter” and a “Performance Guest”, and will make a grand finale appearance on the red carpet. This not only marks Luo Yunxi as the first mainland Chinese artist to receive this honor since the award’s inception in 1994, but also serves as an authoritative CERTIFICATION OF HIS PROFESSIONAL ABILITIES, INDUSTRY RECOGNITION, AND INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCE. This invitation not only AFFIRMS LUO YUNXI’S PERSONAL ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENTS but also symbolizes that outstanding Chinese actors are steadily ascending to a broader international stage, becoming a bright spot in the process of Chinese culture going global.”

Once again, where there is no bias, only strength and talents are counted, Luo Yunxi shines in the eyes of various government official.

New Melon: Q4 which is fine for me.....

This drama has been downvoted by haters twice. First, during its airing, hundreds of accounts downvoted it, dropping the rating from 8.3 to 7.6 in just one hour. Later, when the score had recovered to 8.2, it was downvoted again overnight, falling to 7.9. Both MDL and IMDB were the same, downvoted twice.

Without these manipulations, the rating would likely be around 8.3–8.5, especially considering that this is not a romance drama.

On April 19, Luo Yunxi made history at Singapore’s Star Awards. Invited by state-owned Mediacorp, he became the first and only non-Singaporean actor to walk the finale red carpet, present two awards, and perform on stage. Prominent Singapore media outlets praised him:

• “The most successful symbol of Chinese culture in Southeast Asia,” by Singapore’s leading Chinese newspaper
• "His popularity in Singapore has surpassed that of the vast majority of local artists." by Mediacorp
• “Singapore's most popular Chinese actor, with no competitors." (backed by google trend data he was trending on all category (not only ent) by HUGE margin the day he arrives
• Channel News Asia highlighted his “extremely smart answer” on short dramas versus long dramas.

Elegant, eloquent, cultured, soft-spoken, and with the grace of ballet in his movements, Luo Yunxi is the perfect ambassador for Chinese culture—despite being underrated at home due to his modest self-promotion. Governments, however, recognize his true value: honored as Thai Chinese Cultural Ambassador by the Thai government, the only actor whose drama was selected as CCTV’s CPOP for two consecutive years, the only actor mentioned twice at China’s most important national conference, and now the only Chinese actor given a prominent stage at Singapore’s “Oscar,” once again by a state-owned company.

He built his stellar image through his characters.

Eastmoney.com, a leading listed financial company, reported:

“Shui Long Yin/Whispers of Fate” will be a top blockbuster drama of 2025( in terms of revenue. )
It quoted:

“Shui Long Yin received 560 million RMB in advertising revenue, earning Mango 140 million based on a 1:3 ratio split (with other investors such as Migu, Otter Studio, and other production companies). The show’s popularity exceeded expectations, leading to more than 10 brands increasing their partnership with SLY. Advertising quotes for SLY rose from 1.8 million per 30 seconds to 2.6 million.”

It also mentioned Mango TV’s net profit is projected to increase by 31% in the fourth quarter, with “Mango TV advertising revenue at 1.29 billion in the fourth quarter” almost half coming from SLY 💪

This once again proves Yunhe is a BIG SCAM.

Luo Yunxi has shown his worth through financial reports from Alibaba, Huace, and now again with Mango Super Media. Whispers of Fate doesn’t need waterfall data—it only needs to prove PROVEN profitability 💪💪💪.

And this doesn’t even include revenue from the 14,000-seat concert, record merchandise sales, or MIGU or overseas SLY sales to more than 120 countries. No wonder they didn’t bother with heavy marketing—it was already profitable before airing 😂.
