The next Comicup Creative Exchange Exhibition CP33 in Shanghai (expect bigger scale) will also feature Tang Li Ci Street, due to the overwhelming demands of Tang Li Ci merchandise who was sold out in just a couple hours after opening on 1st day in CP32. This is a real Classic Characters....The one in Hangzhou also has many Tang Li Ci NPC from character fans.
The rating has climbed by 0.1 — a well deserved rise. WoF one of the finest ever produced in Chinese entertainment, has long been undervalued due to targeted downrating from hundreds of account. Without those, WoF rating would easily be at 8.5 or higher.
During the May Day Holiday, the CP32 Comicup Creative Exchange Exhibition (One of the largest comic exhibition in China) in Hangzhou drew over 300,000 visitors across 4 days. A special “Tang Li Ci Street” was set up, featuring various vendors selling Tang Li Ci merchandise and fan art. All of them were sold out before the 1st day.
This is yet another testament to the enduring impact of a well crafted character by Luo Yunxi. Even six months after the drama’s release, Tang Li Ci continues to resonate deeply with audiences, proving that a powerful portrayal can live on in the hearts of fans long after the drama ends.

Thank you for the SLY Town update — I’ll keep Chengdu in mind, maybe for the next LYX concert. It’s exciting to hear China Mobile and Migu, SLY’s biggest investors, are preparing a VR project with SLY Town at the Tianjin exhibition after the Lunar New Year SLY street success in Shanghai, showing their super satisfaction in SLY huge success.

Me too, but I think he wanted to promote WoF again Idk with all those rumor, we should hear something already if he is starting a new drama in 2 weeks.

LYX has risen beyond idol romance dramas into the rare tier of Big ML actors—(can secure investment for S++ projects without female lead). Industry insiders call him both an IP & a Big ML actor. Lyx keeps a low profile, focuses on philanthropy, and spreads Chinese culture rather than chasing hype or trending on SM. Not Loud doesn’t mean he is not popular.
His achievements prove his popularity & influence: FIRST and ONLY Chinese actor honored as Cultural Ambassador by Thai gov., honored with red carpet finale & multiple presenting roles breaking 32 years long norms in Singapore Star Awards, 2consecutive years with dramas on CCTV CPOP, referenced at CCP political conferences two years in a row, breaking ceilings on Youku, Mango TV, and Migu, and even two Madame Tussaud statues unveilings at once.
He simply doesn’t need romance dramas anymore—unless the script interests him. Idol Romance drama is a path is for aspiring actors. And not everyone loves romance drama, I find idol Romance drama cheesy, I skip the romance when watching C drama, the fact that many CP fans becoming toxic and not allowing other CP etc not helping either.
In term of financial independence, Big ML actor got paid A LOT more bcs there is only 1 lead actor instead of 2.
LYX’s longtime fans know his tough start—signed to a near-bankrupt singer agency, not film. That agency sold…
Whispers of Fate is a Heroism drama with no romance. It gave the Mango TV it's most viewed drama and the highest quarterly revenue in over a decade. For me Tang Li Ci in WoF is LYX best acting so far, no trace of performance. It is very beautiful in all aspect.
Recap: Did y’all watch LYX’s Children Prdiatrician Hospital? I just remembered it today and decided to pop…
LYX’s longtime fans know his tough start—signed to a near-bankrupt singer agency, not film. That agency sold his acting rights, leaving him with just 5,000 RMB salary and 10% of acting fees for eight years (court-backed, he sued but lost) until April 2022. His agency survived off his Runyu role and later produced Whispers of Fate, Peeling Cocoon, and more, with LYX as the sole breadwinner of its now 100-person team.
He never led big IP dramas, but smaller ones—Immortality, TTEOTM, WoF—became hits because of him. Pediatrician struggled with the FL’s character but still won Sat. TV yearly views and a government award. Love is Panacea did well on CCTV8 claiming to top 8 most watch drama on CCTV8.
LYX relies on talent and acting skill, walking the thorny path of C-ent without capital support. Today he’s called an “IP actor,” holding 3 platform ceilings with TTEOTM and WoF. He’s the only C-actor besides Hu Ge with two Madame Tussaud unveilings at once, the only one referenced two years in a row at the highest CCP political conference, and the only to receive CPOP selection and nomination two years running. I can go on…..His low key, hard work finally paid off, insider knows how valuable he is. He is never loud but full of achievement.
It was such a disappointment for me.In large part it was probably because I had very high expectations for this…
WoF appeals to non-romance drama fans with its Buddhist-rooted heroism, explaining why it became the most-watched C-drama in Thailand’s history. Producers positioned it as a heroism, non-romance drama; there is no Romance tag here too. Mango’s financial statement 4 days ago confirmed WoF drove the highest quarterly revenue in its history as a listed company in over 11 years. Bloomberg’s China equivalent reported 560M RMB in ad revenue, with ad rates jumping from 1.8M to 2.6M due to its unprecedented popularity (5x the cost of average Mango ads). It is Mango TV’s most-watched drama in 5 years. While Yunhe gave WoF 11M/episode LOL hahaha, the listed company’s financials are definitive (a state-owned company won’t risk delisting because of reporting false financial data to favor any drama).
MDL’s audience prefers romance, but WoF also proves non-romance drama can break platform level too. TTEOTM is also my fav; both dramas of Luo Yunxi broke 3 platform levels, Youku, Mango, and Migu. One romance, one non-romance, each has its own audience.
It is just not as loud here in MDL’s romance-focused platform. He has not filmed any romance drama since 2023.
How incredible is Luo Yunxi’s Whispers of Fate! Mango TV’s 2025 financial statement reveals that Q4 revenue hit the highest quarterly level in the company’s history since going public in 2015 💪🎉🎉🎉. Known primarily for variety shows, Mango TV had no major variety hit in Q4—the only blockbuster drama in Q4 is Whispers of Fate. For the first time, its Film & Drama merchandise division turned a profit, thanks to Whispers of Fate.
Meanwhile, Huace Film & TV, WoF’s exclusive overseas distributor, successfully sold the drama to over 23 platforms, over 120 countries across 1,500+ cities worldwide, also reporting a huge surge in Q4 revenue. Easemoney confirmed that Whispers of Fate generated 560M in advertising, supporting all the data.
With Luo Yunxi’s drama, low marketing costs translated into real profit—a rare feat in the industry…. When other big Platform is still booking loss instead of profit.
This drama has been downvoted by haters twice. First, during its airing, hundreds of accounts downvoted it, dropping…
Give you a clue, A Rival aired in the same time slot. A Fandom who got upset when WoF views on MangoTV surpassed their drama. The last one was mad after LYX’s team refuted a rumored project with their Fav. So actually ttl 3 not 2 downvoting LOL. As a low profile artist with minimal promo, daily ridicule from other fandoms is constant. Still, WoF’s performance is excellent. My summary of WoF achievement https://mydramalist.com/755725-shui-long-yin/discussions/146888-shui-long-yin-whispers-of-fate-3weeks-post-svip-finale-achievements

Solo concert: September
"Changan Paper and Ink Records", The script continues to be revised, LYX is not satisfied wt the script yet. The production team is still working on it, so LYX takes another project….take this with a huge grain of salt. Which means this could be still be his farewell drama from his agency??? 👀👀???
This maybe the more reliable 🍉 right now among the others:
乘着歌声的翅膀/ Singing Wing/Spring Echoes, Modern Emotional Suspense, Revenge and Reasoning. 16 Episodes, Tencent (🍉 said: just recently being approved by Tencent wt LYX as ML no FL selected at that time, LYX has not worked with Tencent for a few years) Startup time : Expected mid- May 2026 Filming location : Guangzhou – 70 days The screenwriter: Yao Rui and Shi Yifan, winners of the FIRST International Film Festival's Best Screenplay award. Main plot (taken from producer promotional material in MIP London) In the small southern city in the early 21st century, a tragic school accident claimed the lives of 6 middle school students. The town, overwhelmed with grief and anger, directs its fury at the female teacher who organized the trip. Yet some evade responsibility, while others benefit from the tragedy. Fourteen years later, those connected to the accident begin to die mysteriously, while others turn on each other. In a web of manipulation, an unseen hand orchestrates the chaos. Behind the intrigue and power struggles, two determined individuals emerge. Fourteen years later, Cai Nian, the daughter of the condemn female teacher and and Tong Ziming, the son of the driver, join forces to unravel the truth and restore justice in the city.
Luo Yunxi: Tong Ziming (the driver’s son). Character introduction: He is a watch repairman in Shamen County. His handsome features are unable to conceal his languid and decadent demeanor. He measures time by turning the hands of the watch with his fingertips, but his heart is imprisoned by the heavy guilt of a tragic car accident 17 years ago. He is aloof and detached, exiling himself in his small stall, living a muddled life while holding the sharp edge of his still-burning blood.
FL? The name changed twice a week, so let’s wait ,🍉 said many actresses want this project- Hoping they get strong actress to match Luo Yunxi’s acting. Latest name is Mao Xiao Tong
If 🍉is true, imo this kind of project feels like the perfect opportunity for him to sharpen his skill very exciting. This would be his most down to earth character to date, the type of character on my wish list.
On April 19, Luo Yunxi made history at Singapore’s Star Awards. Invited by state-owned Mediacorp, he became…
Beijing Youth Daily, another CCP newspaper wrote about LYX attending the awards:
“Recently, the 31st Star Awards, Singapore’s most prestigious and influential Chinese-language TV awards ceremony, officially announced that Luo Yunxi, A TALENTED ACTOR AND SINGER from mainland China, will attend the ceremony as both an “Award Presenter” and a “Performance Guest”, and will make a grand finale appearance on the red carpet. This not only marks Luo Yunxi as the first mainland Chinese artist to receive this honor since the award’s inception in 1994, but also serves as an authoritative CERTIFICATION OF HIS PROFESSIONAL ABILITIES, INDUSTRY RECOGNITION, AND INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCE. This invitation not only AFFIRMS LUO YUNXI’S PERSONAL ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENTS but also symbolizes that outstanding Chinese actors are steadily ascending to a broader international stage, becoming a bright spot in the process of Chinese culture going global.”
Once again, where there is no bias, only strength and talents are counted, Luo Yunxi shines in the eyes of various government official.
