| Rising From the Ashes! Song Zuer’s Comeback Is Real—and She’s Coming for That Crown |
After a rough patch following her tax scandal, Lareina Song Zuer is back—and not just back, but booming. With two red-hot dramas already making serious noise, she’s proving that she’s not here to play safe. She’s here to win.
Her recent dramas, “The Demon Hunter’s Romance” (with Ren Jialun) and “The Prisoner of Beauty” (alongside Liu Yuning), are topping charts like wildfire. The latter even smashed through 1 billion views in just three days, and its heat score on Tencent is flirting with the magical 30,000 mark—a threshold that pretty much screams “blockbuster.”
Critics and fans alike are saying the same thing: Song Zuer’s not just doing damage control—she’s reclaiming her spot at the top. Her emotional range, her chemistry with her co-stars, and her on-screen presence? All dialed up.
But Zuer’s not stopping there.
Word on the street is she’s now in the running for a high-profile lead role in “Spring Comes and Winter Goes (1950),” a historical epic directed by Zheng Xiaolong (yup, the same mastermind behind Legend of Zhen Huan). This project is rumoured to be his next masterpiece, and the competition is fierce—Zhang Ruonan and Jin Chen are reportedly eyeing the same role.
What’s wild? Song Zuer’s not just waiting for casting calls—she’s allegedly reaching out directly to the production team. Bold move, and a clear signal she’s serious about securing this part. If she lands it, it could be the role that fully seals her second act as a top-tier actress among the “95-line” stars.
While her earlier return in Demon Hunter felt like a cautious toe dip back into the industry, The Prisoner of Beauty is her full dive back into stardom. Fans and critics are loving her shift from sweet to fierce, with layers of emotion that showcase her growth as an actress.
And guess what? She's already booked her next gig. In June, she’s set to start filming “Biao Mei Wan Fu” opposite rising heartthrob Zhou Keyu. The combo of fresh visuals and a swoon-worthy romantic script? It’s already building serious buzz.
But perhaps the biggest fan hype right now is the potential reunion of Song Zuer with Bai Yu, her on-screen brother from hit family drama The Bond. Rumors suggest the two could be reuniting for Winter Goes, Spring Comes. If true, this casting could be a smart play to hook viewers across generations and genres.
Off-screen, Song Zuer's also turning heads. Her recent appearance at the VOGUE Fashion Gala in Xi’an had fans raving—elegant, poised, and glowing with star power.
So, what’s the verdict? Song Zuer’s comeback is no longer a question—it’s a statement.
The Chinese entertainment industry has always had a “comeback clause”: talent and hard work can rewrite even the messiest chapters. And Zuer? She seems to know the formula by heart.
Will she beat out Zhang Ruonan and Jin Chen for the lead role? Or are we heading into a new golden era of drama queens where all three shine?
One thing’s for sure—the cameras are rolling, the forums are buzzing, and Song Zuer is writing her next chapter in bold, bright strokes.
