Youku’s highly anticipated historical suspense drama The Vendetta of An has officially wrapped filming.
Starring Cheng Yi, the series has been a hot topic since its announcement, especially given his past hits like Love and Redemption and Mysterious Lotus Casebook.
One of the biggest talking points? Cheng Yi’s striking grey hair!
While he’s rocked long "white" hair in previous costume dramas, this new wig suits him perfectly.
The actor usually has black hair, so is this a visual hint that vengeance has drained the colour from his locks?

Cheng Yi plays Xie Huai’an, a seemingly ordinary county registrar who is actually a secret operative under Emperor Ji Wuyang, played by Liu Yijun.
Tasked with quelling a rebellion, Xie Huai’an must outwit enemies in a treacherous world of deception and survival.
In a chilling wrap-up special, he declares, "On the path of revenge, I cannot allow a single enemy a good ending."

With a production team known for The Longest Day in Chang’an, expectations are sky-high.
The drama is set against the backdrop of imperial power struggles and chaotic times, promising intense storytelling and top-tier cinematography.
The cast is stacked with talent.
Veterans like Wang Jinsong, Ni Dahong, and Zhang Hanyu will bring depth to the imperial court’s battles, while younger stars Zhou Qi, Tong Mengshi, and Xu Lu add fresh energy.

Plus, the drama will feature special appearances from big names like Ye Zuxin, Huang Jue, Bian Cheng, Wang Zixuan, and Chen Yao.
As one of Youku’s major S+ flagship dramas, The Vendetta of An is now heading into post-production.
Could it hit screens in 2025? Fans will have to wait and see, but with this cast and crew, the hype is real!
