The historical drama Si Jin, starring Zhang Wanyi and Jing Tian, has taken audiences by storm.
Packed with elements of rebirth, revenge, and mystery, the show has racked up over 1.2 billion discussions on Chinese social media.
It’s also making waves in Thailand and Vietnam, with fans eager for a sequel featuring the duo.
Jing Tian plays Jiang Si, a noblewoman who meets a tragic fate at the hands of her lover, Yu Qi (Zhang Wanyi).
However, she is given a second chance at life and seizes control of her destiny.
Fans are loving the chemistry between the two, and Zhang Wanyi himself hopes for another collaboration—this time in a modern romance drama.
“I’d love a role where I can just drink coffee and fall in love,” he admitted.
Their on-screen romance has spilled over into real life too.
In a recent interview, Zhang Wanyi had to guess the scent of flowers Jing Tian was holding.
He took a whiff and playfully said, “Is this my sweet sister’s scent?”
The moment sent fans into a frenzy, with netizens joking, “He’s finally moved on from ‘loving’ his younger sister—now he can love an older one!”
Many viewers believe Jiang Si’s story in Si Jin brings closure to Jing Tian’s character Shen Zhenzhu from Glory of the Tang Dynasty, where love ended in heartbreak.
The actress agreed, saying, “That story was too tragic, but Jiang Si gets to stay with her true love until the end. It feels so warm.”

If given the chance to be reborn like her character, Jing Tian humorously revealed she’d want to live in Zootopia.
“It looks like such a lively place!” she laughed.
Aside from her acting skills, Jing Tian’s ethereal looks have earned her the title of “The Ultimate Historical Drama Goddess.”
However, she humbly credits the costumes and accessories for helping her embody the role.
“Just like when I wore a qipao in Rattan, the movements and gestures naturally follow,” she explained.
Thanks to her dance background and guidance from etiquette coaches, every detail, from kneeling postures to sitting styles, is carefully crafted.
With Si Jin still trending, fans can’t wait to see what’s next for Zhang Wanyi and Jing Tian—whether in another period drama or that modern romance he’s dreaming of!
