Hot dang it, China, why are you so ridiculously good to the fangirl in me. I’m bopping around the interwebz minding my own business scrounging for Da Mo Yao drama stuff when BAM!, all the C-entertainment portals lit up simultaneously. As if to out do her good friend Yang Mi (who only recently confirmed her real life romance with her drama leading man Hawick Lau via a press release), C-actress Tong Li Ya went on popular variety show Happy Camp today with her drama leading man Chen Si Cheng to promote the upcoming ending of their currently airing modern C-drama Beijing Love Story……and end up outing their real life relationship to the hosts and audience alike. The stunning confirmation was so surprising and such happy news that it made the two hosts He Jiong and Xie Na cry on the spot.
Apparently C-insiders were already gabbing about the relationship so the two hosts were being their usual nosy playful selves and bugging Tong Li Ya and Chen Si Cheng to confirm the relationship. Chen Si Cheng was very low key to all these questions when suddenly Tong Li Ya outed them on the spot. I wonder what water Yu Zheng fed his cast of Jade Palace Lock Heart, because his leading ladies are dropping likes flies in leaving their singleton status behind. I just have to throw in a random Yuan Hong connection here – Chen Si Cheng‘s next drama has Yuan Hong as the other male lead in Mulan (巾帼大将军) and Tong Li Ya’s next drama has Yuan Hong (and Hawick Lau) as her leading man in the drama adaptation of Lonely Spring Court (寂寞空庭春欲晚). As always, congrats to the happy couple!
Before Liu Shi Shi was confirmed as Jin Yu in Da Mo Yao, the general consensus amongst fans was that Tong Li Ya was the ideal choice to play the character. She’s got the same dancer background as Shi Shi, but has a wilder and more fierce side. Plus she looks more exotic than Shi Shi, good for the wolf girl look. I’m fine either way, but Tong Li Ya would have been a great Jin Yu no doubt.

This is a happy news indeed.
Does anyone have a youtube link for this episode?
I tried to search for it, but can't find it... perhaps due to my lack of Mandarin skills
hah...I just realized that I've seen them both in my limited c-drama resume. Tong in Guai xia Yi Zhi Mei ( Vigilantes in Mask) and Cheng in Da Ya Huan (Pretty maid). Pretty couple definitely. Acting wise, I wasn't wowed by either, but they weren't bad.
Wow, congratulations to them! ^^ It seems easier to date a fellow celebrity, so that's great.
She'd be great at Jin Yu's playfulness and also her fierce side, but somehow I couldn't see her as Jin Yu.
Yeah, her beauty is more like that of Li Yan's.
love her dress!
Oooh! They are so cute together...and the pic of the hosts crying is funny...
They look so sweet and adorable together. The hosts are cute too...crying with joy for the couple. If anyone's got the link on youtube, please share as would love to watch them declare their love on live TV.
yeah.. they are too cute together.. the way they stare at each other is breath taking.. I'd love to have a man stare at me like that.. :D
