Zhao Liying and Zhang Zhehan to Star in New Historical Drama
Zhao Liying (赵丽颖) and Zhang Zhehan (张哲瀚) are said to be starring in upcoming Chinese historical drama The Song of Beidou Nanji <北斗南箕之歌>. Joining forces to give another acclaimed performance in the genre they do best, the casting is drumming up excitement.
Since breaking out in Word of Honor <山河令>, Zhehan garnered masses of fans excitedly awaiting for his next project. Currently filming variety shows and preparing for his July concert, Zhehan has been carefully choosing his next drama as he is ambitious to challenge himself further. He was linked to star in a drama with Liying for some time, but the casting details for The Song of Beidou Nanji was only leaked on Douban this week.
Set in the turbulent Northern Wei and Southern Qi dynasties, political wars and evil schemes within the inner court prevail. No official plot summary has been released yet, but the heroine is described to be the smart and beautiful 40-year-old Empress Dowager Feng. At the start of the story, the male lead Tuoba Hong will only be 18 years old.
Screenwriter Liu Heping (刘和平) shared that he deliberately altered the times of different historical character entrances. Some may appear earlier while others later, but the dynasty period is definitive. No one can create history, but he hopes to decode it with justice by illustrating the spirit of that time well.
Produced by Daylight Entertainment, a company known for its high-caliber historical projects such as Nirvana in Fire <琅琊榜> and The Story of Minglan <知否? 知否？應是綠肥紅瘦>, The Song of Beidou Nanji is tentatively set for a 2023 release date.

I really wish to see a relaxed Zhao Liying. Her last drama was very tense. I really miss her nice smiles.
ZZH is so beautiful that I almost thought there were 2 FL by looking at the picture
@jesspepperwang
Yup and you should check the Cosplayer Xiao Meng. Wow, he is not just handsome but beautiful too. I must say that even women cannot compare to his beauty…
@hetieshou I checked Xiao Meng out and all I have to say is: he looks surreal because of his sharp, sharp features. I think ZZH softer features in comparison to Xiao Meng make ZZH more beautiful while Xiao Meng more ethereal.
@jesspepperwang
Good interpretation. They are both beautiful in their own way. You can check out cosplayer Xiao Xiao Bai too. He is ethereal too.
@jesspepperwang
Do you know actor Gzero Gong Zheng? He has a similar look to ZZH too.
@hetieshou I just googled on him…he is a beauty.
@hohliu
Yup he is and you should check out Cosplayer Xiao Xiao Bai too. He is a beauty too.
I will look forward to this. Hope to see a trailer soon. but 2023 is so far away.
