LayarHijau — Top Chinese actress Bai Lu successfully captivated the digital sphere after uploading a series of photos celebrating the massive success of her latest drama, Unveil: Jadewind (唐宮奇案), on the Douyin platform. Her viral four-shot selfie, which showcased her natural side, quickly propelled the related topic to the top of the trending topics list, garnering over 100 million views.
Bai Lu’s four-shot photo was posted as an exclusive celebration after Unveil: Jadewind achieved a 10,000 popularity index on Youku in just 73 hours of screening. The photos captured her relaxed, casual home environment. Without extravagant backgrounds or heavy makeup, Bai Lu posed after finishing her work, displaying vibrant and charming expressions. Fans praised her natural appearance, noting the sweet contrast between her glamorous stage image and her daily life.
While Bai Lu was lauded for her acting talent and visuals, her co-star, Wang Xingyue, presented a far more unique gift to the fans. Drawing upon his role as the resident astronomer in the drama, “Xiao Huaijin,” Wang Xingyue named two actual stars in the universe “Lucky Star” (幸運星) and “Xingyue Star” (星悅星). This gift carries a romantic significance: “Two stars as witnesses, mutually attracting each other.”
In Unveil: Jadewind, Wang Xingyue plays Taishi Cheng (Astronomical Officer) Xiao Huaijin, skilled in astrology and often using scientific methods, such as star maps, to solve cases. Wang Xingyue’s creativity in presenting this starry gift is a unique extension of his character’s skills into the real world, creating a charming interaction: “Solving cases with stars in the drama, and using stars to send affection outside the drama.” The strong connection between Bai Lu and Wang Xingyue, who share the same management and have frequently collaborated in hit projects like Story of Kunning Palace, further reinforces their deep on-screen and off-screen chemistry in the eyes of the fans.
