Bai Lu, who celebrated her 32nd birthday on the 23rd, officially announced her appearance in "Zhaoyu Jie," set during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, on China's social media platform Weibo (微博). In a live broadcast on the same day, she also revealed that filming is scheduled to begin in early December.

In July of this year, Bai Lu announced the termination of her contract with Huanyu Entertainment, where she had been affiliated for 10 years, and started anew by establishing her own agency. According to reports, "Zhaoyu Jie" is one of the conditions agreed upon with Yu Zheng (于正), the head of Huanyu Entertainment and a renowned producer, upon the termination of her contract, making it, so to speak, the "final work" for both parties. Attention is also focused on how the 10-year collaboration will conclude.

The original script for "Zhaoyu Jie" is a co-production between video streaming service iQiyi (愛奇芸) and Huanyu Entertainment. It is described as a story where a girl, Lu Zhaoxi, who strays into the world 12 years later, borrows someone else's body to delve into the conspiracies of the imperial court and the imperial harem, and risks her life to pursue the real culprit. Bai Lu is introduced as playing two roles.

Although the cast other than co-star Chen Zheyuan has not been officially announced, a stellar lineup has emerged, including Nie Yuan (聶遠) and Qin Lan (秦嵐), who played the emperor and empress in "Story of Yanxi Palace," as well as William Feng (馮紹峰), known for works like "The Story of Ming Lan," and veteran actress Liu Xiaoqing (劉暁慶). Expectations are already running high. (Mathilda)
