| Zhao Lusi’s Comeback Modern Drama Ain’t Even Out Yet, But It’s Already Breaking the Fashion Internet with 80+ Outfits! |
 |
Yep, we’re talking 70+ outfit changes across the series. Seventy. From razor-sharp blazers to off-duty model chic, Lusi’s wardrobe has already been crowned the best-dressed of the year – and the drama hasn’t even dropped a teaser trailer with full context.
Move over Hidden Love, there’s a new style bible in town.

Set to star alongside Hong Kong heartthrob William Chan, Love’s Ambition ain’t your usual fluff. It’s got layers – lies, ambition, and a very fashionable form of emotional manipulation.
Zhao Lusi plays Xu Yan, a high-functioning news anchor who’s cool, calculated, and far from your average rom-com lead. This girl doesn’t trip into love — she plots it.
The storyline? Classic marriage-first-then-love setup, but with a darker undercurrent. Xu Yan ties the knot with Shen Haoming (William Chan), a chaebol heir, purely for status.
But as their secrets start peeling back, so does the emotional armour. It’s not love at first sight — it’s love buried under trauma, power games, and very expensive blouses.

And let’s talk effort. Lusi dropped 6kg for the role (by choice, mind — no pressure from the studio) and handpicked her own wardrobe, flying in pieces from stylists in South Korea.
Whether it’s crisp newsroom suits or moody wine-bar getups, every outfit’s been curated to reflect Xu Yan’s shifting moods and morals. It’s giving drama, it’s giving depth, it’s giving... “wear this to your ex’s wedding but bring legal documents.”

But it’s not just a visual feast — the chemistry between Lusi and William Chan has also got fans tuning in with their popcorn ready.
Their dynamic simmers with tension — two people who married for convenience but end up catching real feelings in the middle of a moral minefield. And let’s face it, with their visuals? Even their eye-rolls look like K-pop music videos.

If the storyline sounds familiar, that’s ‘cos it’s adapted from Zhang Yueran’s well-loved novel Da Qiao Xiao Qiao — and die-hard readers are already dissecting every crumb for accuracy. But early leaks suggest the drama’s going all in on the emotional stakes, fashion-forward visuals, and sharp editing.
Now, we can’t ignore the elephant in the room: Lusi’s comeback follows a pretty rough patch. After Almost Lover wrapped last year, she hit pause on everything due to burnout and mental health struggles.
Plus, there was that minor charity event controversy that had netizens split. Some reckoned she should take a long break — instead, she dove straight into her most mature role yet.
 |
In a recent live, Lusi got real about what this role means: “Xu Yan isn’t sweet. She’s flawed, ambitious, unapologetic. I needed that.
She helped me rediscover myself.” And let’s just say… fans were wiping tears and re-downloading WeTV.
 |
And what about that new short hair she debuted? Instant classic. Fans are already calling it “the Xu Yan bob” and stylists are predicting copycat cuts in salons across Asia. Fashion impact? Off the charts.
One of her crisp white shirts from the drama’s promo stills? Sold out in under a week. Over 7,000 units. Of a shirt. Before the drama even aired.

So, is Love’s Ambition just another star vehicle? Or is this Zhao Lusi’s proper reinvention? Judging from the buzz, the threads, and the raw emotion behind the scenes — it’s looking like both.
All eyes on June 2025. One drama, two iconic leads, 70 outfits, and a whole lot of unresolved romantic tension. Get your screenshots ready — we’re about to witness a comeback for the books.
