New C-drama casting alert and this one seems like a solid pairing for me. The C-novel The Days of Seclusion and Love is getting a drama adaptation and reportedly has confirmed as leads Liu Yu Ning and Tian Xi Wei in that billing order. Liu Yu Ning has been busy filming The Legend of Jewelry with Zhao Lu Si and depending on the start of this drama may segue smoothly over. Tian Xi Wei just finished a drama with Xu Kai so she’s definitely hitting all the popular male drama actors one by one and I think one big breakout for her and she’s ready to level up to top billed in her future dramas.

I like her; she's cute but can also act. Also, I think she's rather tall too, so no standing on stools, hopefully.
I like him well enough too. I like his backstory, from rugs to riches, and he seems to be a likable person. Also, although a singer, he's not a bad actor either.
So, the question is: what is the story about?
@Nena
Her height is average size like most of other Chinese actresses. She is 5’6 inches tall.
Koala love Liu Yu Ning. I don't. But I'll check it out. I don't dislike either lead but am not impressed by them either.
I used to read quite a lot C web novels, those which published on JJWXC, for example. These kinds of stories are PLENTY per the synopsis. The web novels have their appeal thanks to specific writing styles and writers' playing with rich antient Chinese literature and linguistics. Other than the linguistic manipulation, many novels just rehash similar tropes and ideas, not really creative writing. I got bored after reading plenty of novels with similar tropes. I feel the same about most of the C costume dramas now. Even worse, it loses all the linguistic appeal after the novel is adapted into drama with empty plots.
I am so glad it’s a period drama. LYN looks hot in costume. China has so much to offer when it comes to culture since it is the only oldest continuous civilization. It had paper 1000 years before Europe and the Chinese loved keeping records and writing down everything. This is why I have faith in Chinese traditional medicine. So much data!
I think this is still a RUMORED casting.
