In fact, my real identity is actor Xiao Zhan.”

Later, when discussing his role in the drama, Xiao Zhan reenacted several iconic lines such as “My Lord, I don’t want to die yet” and “I will end you one by one.” He also vividly described the character of Zang Hai. “Zang Hai is like a venomous snake. Don’t let me get the chance. Once I do, I’ll bite you to death — to the very last moment of your life,” he said with intense emotion.
Legend of the Zang Hai is a historical epic that delves into political intrigue, hidden identities, and power struggles within the imperial court and noble residences. With its A-list cast and veteran directors, the drama is expected to be one of the most anticipated series of the year.
