| Zhao Liying Drops a ‘As If?’ and the Internet Goes Bonkers: Midi Z Dating Rumours Just Got Spicier |
Chinese actress Zhao Liying has done it again—got the whole internet buzzing without saying much at all. Rumours that she’s romantically involved with Myanmar-born Taiwanese director Midi Z have been swirling for weeks now, and netizens are convinced something’s up.
The two previously worked together on the film The Unseen Sister, and since then, they've reportedly been seen hanging out a fair bit. Think late-night visits, him entering her place with an access card, and even spending time with her young son. Paparazzi’s been eating well.
But on 22 May, Zhao Liying finally addressed the elephant in the room—kind of. She took to social media saying she was “riding the hot search” (cheeky!) to announce that her new drama What a Wonderful World will premiere soon. Bold move, some say. PR masterclass, others reckon.

And then came the spicy hashtag: “#Does This Count as Zhao Liying Making Her Relationship Public#” hit number one on Weibo. The actress doubled down with a new post dropping a flippant “As If?”, clearly throwing cold water—or maybe just smoke—on all the speculation.
Still, fans are split. Some say she’s trolling the tabloids and couldn’t care less. Others swear it’s her soft-launching the relationship, using just enough ambiguity to keep tongues wagging and eyes on her next drama.
Let’s be real—she never confirmed anything. But she’s certainly not denying it either. Her studio’s keeping quiet, and so is Midi Z. But between cryptic hashtags, casual social media banter, and the man allegedly being spotted with her kid? You can’t blame folks for putting two and two together.
So, are Zhao Liying and Midi Z an item? No confirmation. No denial. But if you ask us, she’s having a bit of fun with it—and using the buzz to give her drama the launchpad it needs.
Whatever the truth is, she's winning the publicity game. And we’re all just watching from the sidelines.
