Amidst the grand and tumultuous historical tide, they gradually strengthened their ideals of saving the country.

Began airing 5/8~

Historical Fantasy drama A Dream Within A Dream begins filming with Li Yi Tong and Liu Yu Ning as leads

A Dream Within A Dream (书卷一梦) is an upcoming costume drama, it is not based on a novel. From what I can gather, the story follows our heroine who enters a script and becomes a heroine who is abandoned and abused to death by a villainous hero. No matter how hard she tries to run away, the plot somehow pulls her back to him. In this realm of scripted story, many characters are set to follow a trajectory, many yearn to break their shackles, how many could survive this cruel world? Other cast members include Zhu Xu Dan, Wang Yi Lun, Wang You Shuo, and Wang Cheng Si.

Yang Xu Wen, Liu Yu Ning, and Zhang Ming En begin filming for drama adaptation of Zi Chuan (Purple River)

Zi Chuan (紫川) is an upcoming historical drama based on the novel written by Lao Zhu. The story follows our male lead, Zi Chuan Xiu, from one of the three big families; he’s the adopted son of the late leader from the House of Zi Chuan, the most powerful faction that fought and guarded their land from demonic invasions, with history over two hundred years. He’s accompanied by two other great young heroes from the house of Zi Chuan. It’s the story of how these youths face off the internal and external forces to protect their homeland. As of right now, I’m unsure which actor gets which character. Filming began a while back but they have moved filming location back to Hengdian.
