Love in the Clouds official weibo account: 📌 Secured the No. 1 spot among all Mainland China series and films…
H2 = 2nd half
Congratulations to our HMH. Proud is an understatement (said it again lol 😭 iykyk). This is very special to me, his first billing drama making waves 🎉. I love it so much and this is the only fantasy romance drama that entered the 10k heat index club for the year 2025 in Youku.
I really like this post by the HMH Global Fan Club accountI think liking HMH comes with benefits, where we become…
Ever since his endorsements surged, there are countless trolls/haters with different agendas appearing messing the mentality of 🥝s. When I read this statement when it was posted, I'm relieved for maintaining stability as it's a fact that the 🥝 fancircle don't force fans to spend so that it will look good on battle reports. The fancircle was in a turmoil last year, it was reformed now and they for sure are quick to release statements than before.
Q: If #CallMeByFire were to invite #LuJianglai, what type of style do you think he will present?
Hmh: "Call Me By Fire..." I don't think Lu Jianglai is very suited for "Call Me By Fire." With his kind of personality, he would eliminate everybody. That wouldn't be nice. Because in the show, in the early stages, Lu Jianglai eliminates all the bad guys. So this is his character setup. But it doesn't mean Lu Jianglai is a bad guy. But I think if you were to put him in real life, it wouldn't be okay. After all, "Call Me By Fire" is a stage for healthy, positive competition. Putting Lu Jianglai on there wouldn't be very suitable.
Q: Who do you think is the most extroverted from the cast?
Hmh: I don't think there's anyone super extroverted from the boys. They're all introverts. Perhaps I'm slightly more extroverted, but not a lot.
Q: If roles were to be interchanged, what pair do you think would be a suitable swap and what pair do you think would be the most out of place?
Hmh: The most out of place... I feel like no one can swap. Anyone swapping would be very out of place. Everyone seems to be very suited for their roles. I think it's a kind of fate between actors and their roles.
Q: Do you think there’s a big contrast between you and the character #LuJianglai?
Hmh: If there's a big contrast? It depends. If we’re talking about his “an eye for an eye” kind of temperament, then yes, the contrast is actually quite big. In real life, I’m a much more laid-back person. I’m only really driven when it comes to my work or things I truly want to fight for. When it comes to the things I’m deeply committed to, once I’ve made a choice, I don’t make other choices. That’s the part where he and I are very similar.
Hmh: "Hello, friends of MGTV, I'm Hou Minghao. I play #LuJianglai in 'Glory.'"
Q: “What type of tea do you think best represents the character you play?”
Hmh: "If I had to pick, I would pick green tea. Because in the beginning, in order to survive in a new environment, Lu Jianglai had to disguise himself and oftentimes had many 'tea art' moments. That's why I would pick green tea."
Q: “What is your favorite sport/exercise?”
Hmh: "On my private time, I usually like to do fitness, basketball, or ride motorbikes etc. But after entering set, there are much less outdoor activities. I’m basically all concentrated on filming."
“What’s even more impressive is that we’re still online-first, TV-later. Despite the web release having already gone into paid early access for several days, the TV broadcast still ranked No. 1 in the prime-time slot among satellite channels. The reruns also ranked No. 1 on satellite TV, even outperforming several CCTV channels. Hou Minghao is great. Lu Jianglai is great. I really don’t want to say more.”
the ratings and everything made yuzheng happy but are they really going to make a sequel? did he make an unrealistic…
Nope, the focus will not be on them. It will be another couple lol. He commented: "Lu Jianglai, quickly become an even bigger top influencer." I think it meant no harm or 🥝s will drag him. The platform and TV station is very satisfied, YZ also said that HMH is recognized at the S+ level performance.

I'm over the moon, Glory's CVB ratings are taking off. This is why if some of y'all new 🥝s wonder why he don't star with traffic flowers. The door is not closed but he is just impressive this way. He can carry it with his own strength.
Hou Minghao’s recent commercial (SW) momentum has been absolutely explosive. After Love in the Clouds aired, he successively announced 18 endorsements; after Glory in 2026, he announced another 6. The drama itself comes with built-in advertising and he can carry investment and sponsorship on his own, with several more endorsements still lined up waiting to be announced. In just the past few months, his cumulative sales have exceeded 60 million+ RMB. This is what you call a truly effective drama run—every move he makes gets scrutinized because he’s genuinely making people jealous.
Hunan TV's prime-time slot is currently airing #Glory#. Tonight, the drama achieved a record-breaking real-time viewership rating, peaking at 0.6245 and securing its 14th consecutive top spot among provincial satellite channels!
