The evolution of C-actress Yang Mi into serious C-dramas is continuing onward as her next project will reportedly be the Youku big budget drama The Reign of Northern Wei (江山大同 Jiang Shan Da Tong). Her male lead in discussions is Liu Xue Yi and this could be the big break he’s been overdue for, and joining them is the award winning veteran statesman Chen Jian Bing. The drama is slated to start filming in March 2026 and is being called the next Nirvana in Fire, so expect a lot of intelligent political plotting and a slow burn story.
