Ci Sha becomes Ren Min’s leading man in new costume drama Liang Chen Mei Jin

Liang Chen Mei Jin (良陈美锦) is adapted from the novel written by Chen Xiang Hui Jin. The costars in The Rise of Ning reunited but this time he is her male lead. 😀 The plot of this one is starting to look like the run of the mills of rebirth-second-chance costume dramas where the female lead is given a chance to live again and wants to undo the things she did in the past/first life. Anyhoo, the drama synopsis looks cleaner, as usual, with our heroine being raised/spoiled by her grandparents; she then returns back to her parents’ place, where the fun begins, and she meets three men.

Filming started a few days ago~

The Demon Hunter’s Romance (无忧渡) is adapted from a novel written by Ban Ming Ban Mei.

Synopsis Per Qiyi: It tells the romantic love story of Xuan Ye, a mysterious demon hunter, and Ban Xia, a young girl. Together, they navigate a world where humans and demons coexist and embark on thrilling and mysterious adventures. In the bustling city of Guangping, humans and demons live side by side, with demons skilled at concealing their true forms by disguising themselves as humans.

Meng Zi Yi and He Yu begin filming for historical drama Blossoms of Power

Another Blossom?! 😛 😛 😛

Blossoms of Power (百花杀) is adapted from the novel The Imperial Song – After I Bloom, A Hundred Flowers Die written by Jin Huang. The novel unfortunately only has 2 chapters translated so far by Celestial-dreamer.

This looks to be our leads’ third collaboration! He Yu played the younger version of the Emperor in Blossom and they also played a couple in The Legend of Heroes 2024. Another surprising face in the cast is the return of Jeremy Tsui who took a year-long break from showbiz and announced his comeback September of last year.

The story sounds interesting. DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DON’T WANT NOVEL SPOILERS. THE DRAMA WILL LIKELY CHANGE MANY THINGS, though. It’s a palace drama with lots of princes and scheming. Our male lead is an ailing crown prince who’s been poisoned since he was young so he spends his days pretending to be really frail although he practices martial arts (heh). He is described as scheming, cold-blooded, and manipulative. Our female lead, in her previous life, was married to the previous Crown Prince (second male lead), but committed suicide after the execution of her whole family under his supervision, forced by the Emperor (yikes!). Her soul enters the body of a general’s daughter. She’s later sent by her father to the capital to find a royal husband – our male lead. She’s equally cunning and cold.
