LayarHijau – Filming for the upcoming drama Genius Girlfriend, starring Tian Xiwei and Hu Yitian, officially wrapped on November 18. Interestingly, the last scene shot turned out to be the most romantic highlight of the entire series—a proposal set against strong winds and swirling autumn leaves surrounding the lead couple. These clips, along with several other sweet moments released by the production team, quickly went viral on Weibo and sparked huge excitement among fans of Chinese romance dramas.
This year, Tian Xiwei’s popularity has soared thanks to her roles in Guardians of the Dafeng and Moonlit Reunion. Although her screen time in Guardians of the Dafeng was limited, she still gained over 400,000 new followers on Weibo. The rise became even more dramatic after Moonlit Reunion aired, bringing her total follower growth to around 1.6 million. That momentum continues with the buzz surrounding her pairing with Hu Yitian in Genius Girlfriend.

The proposal scene that marked the end of filming shows Hu Yitian in a sharp suit, kneeling as he presents a ring to Tian Xiwei’s character. She accepts without hesitation. After placing the ring on her finger, Hu Yitian gently puts a classic bridal veil on her head, and the two share a long kiss as the wind picks up around them. According to fans who witnessed clips from the set, the moment when Tian Xiwei’s veil is blown away and Hu Yitian comforts her with a soft embrace is considered one of the most “goosebump-inducing” scenes revealed so far.
Shortly after announcing the wrap, the production released a special behind-the-scenes video featuring three additional romantic scenes that quickly became hot topics online. The first shows the couple running hand in hand in the rain, intercut with glimpses of their childhood selves to emphasize their fated bond. The second is the most talked-about: Tian Xiwei is seen drying Hu Yitian’s freshly washed hair with a towel by the bedside, when he suddenly leans forward and pushes her onto the bed in a surprisingly intimate moment. The third scene shows them kissing in the snow, with Tian Xiwei tiptoeing to reach Hu Yitian—highlighting a 20-centimeter height difference that fans describe as one of the sweetest visuals of the year.
