Liu Yuning’s Fans Go All Out – Billions Raised for the New King of Historical Romance |
Co-starring the ever-glowing Lareina Song Zuer, this “marriage first, love later” saga between General Wei Shao (Liu Yuning) and Xiao Qiao (Song Zuer) has fans absolutely eating it up. From angsty tension to tearjerking soft moments, it’s the kind of show that leaves you yelling at your screen and replaying scenes at 2AM.
But here’s what really shook the internet: Liu Yuning’s fandom didn’t just show up with views—they came with bags. We're talking nearly 10 million yuan collected by fans just to support him. Yes, seriously. The cash went into watch parties, massive billboards, digital campaigns, and online promos that had everyone—from your drama-obsessed aunty to K-netz—doing a double take.
Some call it wild. We call it love.

💣 Drama That Blew Up Everything
The Prisoner of Beauty isn’t just another costume drama—it’s a cultural moment. With a mix of stunning cinematography, slow-burn romance, and sizzling chemistry between the leads, it ticks all the boxes for a viral sensation. Liu Yuning’s take on the cold, duty-bound general who's secretly head-over-heels for his wife? Instant classic.
This isn't Liu's first hit either. After A Journey to Love and The Story of Pearl Girl, he’s carved a reputation as the go-to actor for historical dramas. In fact, he just made history as the only male lead to score back-to-back hits across China’s top three drama platforms: iQIYI, Youku, and WeTV. Triple crown? More like king status unlocked.
And even in the middle of fierce competition from heavy-hitters like Xiao Zhan’s Legend of Zang Hai, Liu Yuning’s drama is holding its own—firmly parked at #1 on Netflix Taiwan and still riding high on domestic rankings.
🫶 Fans Who Don’t Play Around
Liu Yuning’s fanbase? Different breed.
They’ve gone above and beyond, funding campaigns that rival K-pop comebacks. The massive fundraising haul isn’t just about flashy promos—it’s a heartfelt thank you to their idol. And Liu Yuning, bless him, never takes it for granted.

In a livestream that pulled over 40 million viewers at once (no typo), he laughed off the “Drama King of Three Platforms” title with typical humility:
“I wouldn’t dare call myself that,” he grinned. “If you all say so, that’s fine—but I’m not gonna say it out loud myself.”
That kind of self-effacing charm? Instant swoon.
He also regularly chats with fans, replies to comments, and throws in cheeky jokes about his height (yep, he’s a towering 190cm). No wonder fans are head over heels.
🎬 No Diva, No Drama—Just Pure Grind
In the entertainment world, Liu Yuning’s built a reputation as a straight-up professional. No scandals, no messy headlines, no fuss over billing order. He even sings the theme songs for his own dramas—which, let’s be real, is a power move.
Production houses are lining up to work with him, not just because of his popularity but thanks to a solid work ethic and strong branding. His upcoming drama A Dream Within a Dream alongside Li Yitong is already being hyped as another sure-fire hit. Momentum? Absolutely. And he’s showing no signs of slowing down.
Meanwhile, Song Zuer is basking in her own glow-up. After the success of The Demon’s Hunter Romance, her pairing with Liu in The Prisoner of Beauty is now being called one of the best C-drama couples of the year. Fan edits, fancams, hashtags—you name it, they’ve got it trending.
For Liu Yuning, this is more than just a career milestone—it’s a cultural crown. From humble beginnings to the top of the charts, he’s now not just winning hearts—he’s owning the game. And honestly? We’re here for every second of it.
