Just When It Was Getting Good: Wang Zixuan Bows Out of ‘The Indescribable Town’ |
Bad news for fans of actress Wang Zixuan — the rising star has officially dropped out of the upcoming drama The Indescribable Town following a nasty fall at home that left her with a serious back injury.
According to an official statement released by her studio on June 11, the 26-year-old actress slipped in her bathroom in the early hours of June 10, right after wrapping that day’s shoot. The accident caused a major lower back injury and re-triggered an old condition that now needs long-term treatment and rest. Doctors have ruled out any strenuous activity, making it impossible for her to carry on with the physically demanding shoot schedule.
💬 Studio Statement: "A Difficult But Necessary Decision"
In their full announcement, her studio confirmed that after “sincere communication” with the production team, they came to a mutual agreement that Wang Zixuan would withdraw from the drama to prioritise her health:
"Wang Zixuan's injury requires systematic treatment and prolonged rest to ensure full recovery. After sincere communication with the production team, we have made the difficult decision for her to withdraw from the drama. We sincerely thank the producers, director, and entire team for their understanding and support."
The statement also added a warm note to her supporters:
"We kindly ask for your understanding and hope everyone gives Wang Zixuan the space she needs to recover. We believe she will return to work in even better form."

🎬 Xing Fei Replaces Wang Zixuan as Lead Actress
Taking over the female lead role of Pei Lingling is none other than Xing Fei, best known for her bright and bubbly energy in youth dramas. She now faces the daunting task of reshooting nearly half a month's worth of scenes, previously filmed with Wang Zixuan.
The Indescribable Town is adapted from a popular Jinjiang web novel, known for its intriguing blend of romance, suspense, and fantasy.
The story follows a spirited heroine who finds herself drawn into a town filled with strange happenings — alongside a fiercely loyal male lead. Wang Zixuan was originally paired with actor Huang Xiyan, and their pairing had already started generating buzz before filming even kicked off.
