LayarHijau – Zhao Lusi is once again in the spotlight after revealing that she has something important to announce on May 1. She shared the news during a live broadcast for a shampoo brand, instantly sparking curiosity among fans.
During the livestream, Zhao Lusi mentioned that there would be an announcement on May 1. In a playful tone, she said that she really cannot keep anything a secret these days, even joking that things can no longer be “secretly hidden,” a remark that quickly reminded viewers of her hit drama, Hidden Love.
Her brief statement immediately fueled speculation. Many fans believe the date could be related to her return to filming after a long hiatus from drama productions. As previously reported, Zhao Lusi has not entered a new production for over a year following health issues that arose during the filming of Lover alongside Peng Guanying. The project eventually wrapped up earlier than planned after she experienced speech impairment and depression.
After that difficult period, Zhao Lusi publicly exposed issues with her former agency and decided to close her Weibo account. She later shifted her focus to Xiaohongshu and maintained her popularity through regular livestreams. Recently, she was also reported to have established her own studio and signed with a new management company, further heightening anticipation for her comeback project.
Amid the countdown to May 1, rumors about potential new dramas have resurfaced. She was previously rumored to star alongside Deng Wei in the costume drama Bai Yao Pu, but the collaboration was denied at the end of February.
More recently, reports claim she is in talks for a Tencent-produced S+ level costume drama titled Zhu Guniang Jinnian Diaokeng Mei. The series is said to focus on a strong female lead who disguises herself as a man and rises through the political ranks, with the storyline centered on strategy and career ambition rather than romance.
While there has been no official confirmation, public attention remains fixed on May 1, as fans wait to see whether the announcement will indeed be related to a new drama or perhaps an entirely different project.
Previously, several other rumored projects were also linked to Zhao Lusi, including Love’s Ambition Season 2, Inverted Fate, and Yan San He. There were also rumors of a possible reunion with Chen Zheyuan and Ding Yuxi in a reality show. These circulating reports even mentioned several actors who were speculated to be her potential co-stars, ranging from William Chan, Tian Xuning, Yan Xuwen, Deng Wei, to Song Weilong.
