| Bai Lu & Joseph Zeng’s New Xianxia Romance “Feud” Drops Soon, Here is What to Expect! (iQIYI/BaiLu Weibo) |
If you're into immortal drama queens, epic sword fights, and heartbreak with a side of magical destiny — then mate, you’re in for a ride. One of the most anticipated Chinese dramas of the season, “FEUD” (aka Lin Jiang Xian / Lament of the River Immortal) is gearing up to premiere very soon on iQIYI — and it’s looking like a proper banger.
This one’s a full course of romance, fantasy, wuxia, and high-stakes emotion. Think Ashes of Love vibes meets Eternal Love, with just a sprinkle of chaos and a whole lot of visual perfection.
🎬 What’s “FEUD” All About Then?
This is the last #BaiLu drama that will air these 2025. So, I'm not rushing when it will start. I am patiently waiting because after #Feud I will wait another year to watch her drama again. I only want to pls endorse this drama on @netflix pic.twitter.com/xJTa81RDhl

At the centre of Feud are two souls bound by fate and messed up by misunderstandings — classic.
Li Qing Yue, a badass immortal blessed by the Four Spirits (played by the stunning Bai Lu), and Bai Jiu Si, a highly respected master from Dacheng (Joseph Zeng Shunxi), fall for each other in a magical world teetering on the edge of chaos. But just as they’re getting cosy — BAM — destiny throws a curveball. Miscommunication leads to tragedy. Death. Heartache. The whole shebang.
But fate's not done playing games. They're given a second shot, and this time, they fight together to protect the weak and mend what was broken. You’ll cry. You’ll cheer. You’ll want to punch destiny in the face. All in 45-minute episodes.
👀 Cast Lineup – Stacked Like a Fantasy Buffet
 |
-
Bai Lu as Li Qing Yue / Hua Ru Yue
-
Joseph Zeng Shunxi as Bai Jiu Si
-
He Rui Xian as Fan Ling Er
-
Chen Xin Hai as Zhang Su An
-
Zheng Kai, Zhao Zhao Yi, Ayden Sng, Andrew Lin, and a whole gang of talented names round out the massive cast.
Just saying — it’s the kind of cast that could carry an entire drama even if the plot was “immortals go grocery shopping” (which, thankfully, this isn’t).

“The trailer and posters look so gorgeous! It's a visual feast!”
“Exciting! Hope this drama has a variety show too!”
“Both main casts are what I’ve been dreaming of — they actually made it happen OMG.”
And just to stir the pot a little, word on the street is Bai Lu might be taking a 4-6 month break after this drama airs — living her best life outside of drama sets. She’s still doing mags, CFs, and public stuff, but filming-wise, this might be her last project under her current agency before jumping into films. 👀
