The Destiny of White Snake features Chusen package deal (Yang Zi, Ren Jia Lun, Shu Chang, and Mao Zi Jun) in hopefully their last collaboration for a while.

New Madame White Snake (天乩之白蛇传说) held its booting ceremony this morning and it’s led by Yang Zi (not present), Allen Ren Jia Lun, Mao Zi Jun, and He Du Juan (The Good Fellas, The Gods).
