LayarHijau— The rising screen couple Deng Kai and Snow Kong are once again capturing public attention after their extraordinary success in the historical drama Pursuit of Jade (逐玉). In that series, Deng Kai played the antagonistic prince Qi Min, while Snow Kong portrayed Yu Qianqian, an escaped concubine. The intense relationship between their characters created a massive wave of popularity, leading fans to dub them the “Bu Qi Er Yu” couple. Now, the two are confirmed to reunite in a new project titled The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage (將門獨后), which stars Dylan Wang and Meng Ziyi as the leads.

Their popularity in Pursuit of Jade was well-deserved. The plot, featuring Qi Min’s obsession to the point of imprisoning Yu Qianqian with iron chains to fulfill his possessive desires, created an explosive chemistry among viewers. Topics regarding them on Douyin have surpassed 1.8 billion views, and their collaborative magazine sold over 6,500 copies, generating 400,000 Yuan in revenue. This success has many fans eagerly anticipating the new dynamics they will display in The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage, as the contract for this second collaboration was reportedly signed even before their first drama aired.

In The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage, Snow Kong will play the character Shen Yue, the ambitious and cunning cousin of the protagonist Shen Miao, played by Meng Ziyi. Shen Yue is depicted as seeking refuge with the enemy crown prince, Huangfu Hao, played by Deng Kai. Although Huangfu Hao takes Shen Yue in as a concubine, he is actually using her identity to steal secret information. This shift from the dark obsession of their previous drama to an alliance full of political intrigue provides a fresh perspective on their acting that fans are highly anticipating.

Recently leaked photos and videos from the filming set show very strong interactions between the two. In one scene, Snow Kong, dressed in red, is seen blocking a horse carriage carrying Deng Kai with her body. Deng Kai then steps down, helps her up, and carries her in a “princess carry” style toward the carriage. Once inside, Deng Kai is seen lifting Snow Kong’s chin while maintaining intense eye contact. Netizens praised how Deng Kai now appears more authoritative as a crown prince, while Snow Kong portrays a character who looks innocent yet harbors great ambition.

The closeness between Deng Kai and Snow Kong is evident not only in front of the camera but also behind the scenes of The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage. Several clips show Deng Kai leaning down to listen carefully as Snow Kong explains the script, and a sweet moment where Deng Kai helps clean Snow Kong’s accessories with a tissue. They are also frequently seen whispering closely and laughing together between takes. Snow Kong was even caught on camera asking Deng Kai to check her hair and makeup, demonstrating a high level of comfort between them.

Their harmonious interaction has led fans to shower them with high praise. Many netizens commented that their chemistry, both in real life and in the drama, is of “state banquet level” due to their matching acting quality and visuals. “They have a very unique aura when together; their emotional transition from fear to alliance is very smooth,” one fan wrote on social media. Although the characters Huangfu Hao and Shen Yue are predicted to have a tragic end according to the original plot, the presence of Deng Kai and Snow Kong in The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage is set to be a major highlight of the series.
