After a bit of back and forth with the male lead selection, the main leads are done for the upcoming period C-drama The Reign of Northern Wei (Jiang Shan Da Tong). It’s a big budget serious historical period C-drama produced by China’s State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and will have Yang Mi starring as Dowager Empress Feng from her youth to ruler. Liu Xue Yi has landed the coveted male lead role and these two will definitely make a strong onscreen pairing. The drama heads into production in the next month or so with an eye towards second half of 2027 release.
