While everyone was glad to see Created in China moving forward, fans suddenly switched gears and started “summoning” another long-lost gem: Zhe Yao aka The Prisoner of Beauty And just like that, the #折腰 tag soared up Weibo’s trending charts.
People aren’t just curious — they’re absolutely thirsting for Zhe Yao.

And fair enough.
We’re talking about a drama that hits all the right spots: enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, tension-packed romance, and a strong general who melts for his stunning bride.
The visuals we’ve seen so far? Top tier.
Song Zuer and Liu Yuning as the leads look like they were plucked straight out of the novel.
He’s dashing, she’s graceful, and the period styling is ridiculously on point.
One intense stare between them and fans are already daydreaming whole episodes.
Based on Peng Laike’s popular novel, Zhe Yao is directed by Deng Ke and stars Song Zuer, Liu Yuning, Xuan Lu, and Liu Duanduan.
The plot follows Xiao Qiao and Wei Shao, who start out in a marriage of convenience.
As time passes, they fall deeply in love — while also protecting their home and country.
Many online are saying things like, “I’m obsessed with the visuals and storyline, but the drama title still feels awkward,” or “I just want Zhe Yao to air already, it looks amazing!”
Others joked, “This is perfect timing — I read the novel ages ago and now I’ve forgotten the whole thing!”
Even though Created in China is next on the lineup, it’s Zhe Yao that’s living rent-free in everyone’s heads.
