Ruby Lin Sparks Romance Rumors with Yuan Hong
Ruby Lin (林心如) has incurred romance rumors with her costar Yuan Hong (袁弘), after the 37-year-old uploaded a photo of herself hugging Yuan Hong tightly at a hot pot dinner with the cast and crew of her upcoming drama, Realm of Love: The Long Ballad <秀丽江山之长歌行>. The photo drew in over 20,000 likes from fans and over 8,000 comments, with most netizens being supportive of Ruby and her alleged relationship with Yuan Hong.
“I heard Ruby and Yuan Hong are dating now! Yeah!” one netizen commented. Another netizen said, “We [fans] will be so happy if you finally found your true love… it would be great if it was Yuan Hong!”
Sparks allegedly flew on set when the pair first began to work on the drama together. It has been reported that the onscreen couple quickly warmed up to each other due to the many intimate scenes that Ruby and Yuan Hong have shared in the drama.
The historical epic drama, also produced by Ruby, tells the story of Yin Lihua (Ruby), a Han dynasty empress who helps her husband Liu Xiu (Yuan Hong), later known as Emperor Guangwu, to restore the falling Han dynasty. The drama is loosely adapted from the 2007 time-traveling novel Realm of Love <秀丽江>, written by Li Yun (李歆). The novel chronicles the story of a modern-day woman who travels back in time to witness the life-changing experiences of a common peasant boy who eventually becomes the emperor of Han China.
Realm of Love: The Long Ballad is currently in production in Xianshan Studios in Zhejiang, and is set for an early broadcast date on Anhui Television in 2014. The drama also stars Li Jiahang (李佳航), Wang Yuanke (王媛可), Kenny Kwan (關智斌), and Yu Bo (于波).

So looking forward to watching Realm of Love: The Long Ballad .
Unless there are intimate photos of just the two of them together, it’s probably a publicity stunt.
I’m looking forward to this series too. The preview film clip looks so good!
Hope this is true!!! Loved the both of them. Ruby have always wanted YH to be her leading man in the last few dramas she was in but he was busy with BBJX during that time.
Few years ago they were caught shopping together but as friends because they had other people with them.
They also guest starrted in Young Detective Dee the series as a couple before collaborating in this series. Heard there were intimate scenes in that series too….lol
I seriously can’t get over the fact that she’s 37. She looks like 30 MAX
I think she looks about mid 30s or around her age, especially when she smiles hard.She looks even older.
Yeah, she definitely looks her age to me when she actually attempts to move her face instead of just making her eyes go huge (which is what she considers acting).
She aged very well. But I think ruby recently lose some weight after filming this epic drama. getting skinny.
Why are we talking about her age? is this another young guy/older woman relationship?
hahah LOL…its the trend right not it seems….
She does look her age actually but if you compare w/her other VICKY costars, she does look a bit younger i guess.
“young guy/older woman relationship … is the trend right now it seems”
Yep, especially for successful/independent women (like Ruby Lin, Niki Chow, Kathy Chow, etc.) with a long queue of suitors. Smart women (in demand) know they’ll be “happier” having as many male friends as possible and filter out all the gold-digging losers that want control of their $$$.
Well, they have to promote this drama somehow…
Ruby seems to get the same type of rumours with her co-star during filming, before and during airing. Well she is the producer after all, loading photo to generate rumours and hype is an easy marketing ploy.
i like both of them but i dont think they are dating. Maybe they become very close since filming lots of scenes together.
Anyway looking forward to see that. Saw trailer on youtube and its awesome.
Plus hope ruby lin will find her soulmate soon.
that’s Ruby Lin hugging Yuan hong? because i really can’t recognise her if not because of the title said so …
I thought time traveling dramas were banned in china?
It is hence the departure from the novel’s original story
I think Ruby is just very friendly with everyone. But after the shock of the Nicky-LSS romance, you never know! Either way, I have no probs with them being a couple.
