LayarHijau.com — Snow Kong (Kong Xue’er) is once again making headlines after she was spotted visiting a temple in Beijing without makeup. Her radiant smile and relaxed appearance sparked speculation among netizens, many of whom wondered if she had gone there to pray for a romantic partner. 

The actress rose to widespread fame through her role as Zheng Chu Yu (also known as Zheng Shu), the cousin of Wei Shao, portrayed by Liu Yuning, in the hit costume drama The Prisoner of Beauty. The show’s immense popularity catapulted Snow Kong into the spotlight, turning her off-screen activities into subjects of intense public interest. 

However, on June 13, Snow took to social media to deny rumors that she had visited the Yue Lao Temple (月老殿), a well-known site where people pray to the Chinese God of Love. According to a report by Sohu, she clarified, “I went to the Fire God Temple (火神庙) to pray for wealth. How could that be Yue Lao? I didn’t make any wish adjustment!” 

Still, netizens weren’t entirely convinced. Online guides suggest that the Fire God Temple complex includes six smaller temples that should be visited in a clockwise direction—and the final stop is indeed the Yue Lao Temple. This has led to speculation that Snow might have passed by or even offered a prayer at the love temple, even if her main intention was financial prosperity. 

To clarify, the Yue Lao Temple (月老殿) is traditionally where people pray for true love or stronger relationships. In contrast, the Fire God Temple (火神庙) is often visited by those hoping for good fortune and career success, as fire symbolizes energy and transformation in Chinese culture. 

Despite her clarification, Snow’s temple visit remains a hot topic on social media. Many fans supported her intention to seek blessings for her career and finances, while others secretly hoped she included a wish for love as well. 

In addition to The Prisoner of Beauty, Snow Kong also starred as Yin Shu Jun, one of the leads in the romantic drama Serendipity, which featured Lu Yuxiao and Wang Ziqi in the main roles. She also appeared in the hit drama Blossom, playing the memorable supporting character Miao An Su. That series starred Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui in leading roles.
