Rumbling cast changes to Yu Zheng’s Feng Qiu Huang

This news makes me gloomy on a Sunday! WHYYYYYYYYYYYY. As you know, Yang Rong has been attached to this project for two years and Merxat was recently confirmed as her male lead, but just this morning, Yu Zheng came out to apologize about the cast changes. His reason is the copyrights to film the tv series is going to expire soon and Yang Rong’s schedule has conflict (she’s filming a another project) so the production crew is rushing to start filming right now.
