Wu Jinyan is back, and she's making waves again! The actress, who captured hearts in China with her breakout role in "The Double," took a break from the limelight after skyrocketing to fame.
For the past few months, fans were left wondering if they’d ever see her grace the screen again.
Well, wonder no more—she’s officially making her return with the highly anticipated drama Yu Ting Yao (御廷谣), and it’s going to be epic!
After her whirlwind rise to stardom, Wu Jinyan made a decision that shocked many: she quietly married her long-time boyfriend, Hong Yao, after seven years of dating.
Not only that, but she announced that she was expecting a baby, taking a step back from her career to focus on family life.
Fans had to cope with her absence, but Wu Jinyan didn’t just disappear—she spent her time quietly nurturing her newborn, and now, she’s ready to return to the world she left behind.
This month, her agency dropped the bombshell news: Wu Jinyan is back on set!
She’s joined the cast of YuTing Yao, an adaptation of the popular novel Jiangshan Weipin.
What makes it even more exciting?
She’s once again reunited with her The Double co-star, Chen Xinhai, who played her cousin in the previous drama.

Fans who were left hanging with their unfinished love story in The Double will get the chance to see if their characters finally get their happy ending in Yu Ting Yao.
In this new drama, Wu Jinyan takes on the role of Meng Tinghui, a brilliant woman from the Daping Dynasty who defies all odds by becoming one of the first women to graduate from the Imperial Exams and join the prestigious Hanlin Academy.
Known for her beauty, intelligence, and cunning, Meng Tinghui is a woman who’ll stop at nothing to achieve greatness.
However, things take a turn when the Emperor, who once saved her life, develops a deep and unexpected love for her—something she never saw coming.
While Wu Jinyan’s comeback is certainly a reason for celebration, there’s been some drama behind the scenes.
A few months ago, her husband Hong Yao made headlines for the wrong reasons when he was caught smoking in a car while Wu Jinyan was heavily pregnant.
The incident sparked disappointment among fans, many of whom felt that Wu Jinyan deserved better.
Nevertheless, she’s making her return to acting stronger than ever, and Yu Ting Yao marks a fresh chapter in her career.
Originally, Wu Jinyan was supposed to return to filming in April, but production delays pushed everything back to May.
There were also rumours swirling that her co-star would be Xin Yunlai, the rising star from The Glory.
However, after some less-than-impressive fan reactions to his performance, the production team made a swift change and opted for Chen Xinhai, much to the delight of fans who already know and love their chemistry.
Wu Jinyan’s return to the screen isn’t just about acting—it’s about showing the world that she’s a force to be reckoned with.
After taking time off to focus on her family, she’s back with a new sense of maturity and determination.
She’s not just a talented actress anymore; she’s a woman who’s juggled the roles of wife and mother, and now, she’s ready to take on the challenge of bringing Meng Tinghui to life with even more depth and emotion than before.
As we wait for Yuting Yao to air, one thing’s for sure: Wu Jinyan is back, and this comeback is going to be unforgettable.
Will Meng Tinghui and the Emperor get their happily-ever-after this time? Fans can only hope so, but one thing’s for certain—the journey will be nothing short of emotional.
