“Tracing the wheel of the sky, drawing a circle and starting the Nine Gates reunion, a new situation will begin,” read the poetic teaser. With that, the new trio was revealed: William Chan is officially back as Zhang Qishan, and joining him are Joseph Zeng (Wu Laogou) and Sebrina Chen (Huo Xian Gu).

Each of the leads reposted the announcement in character — and yes, they’ve brought the flair:
-
William Chan: “Zhang Qishan, the leader of Changsha’s Nine Gates, what advice do you have?”
-
Joseph Zeng: “Planning for three lifetimes, hiding the universe within my sleeves, Wu Laogou is waiting for you here!”
-
Sebrina Chen: “The women of the Huo family have never been ordinary. The Nine Gates reunite to start a new situation. Hello, Huo Xian Gu.”
Talk about setting the tone. 🎩

🚪Season 2: What’s Changed, Who’s Missing?
So far, plot details remain wrapped tighter than a tomb in Changsha — the official Douban page for The Treasured Bajia Book only drops cryptic hints:
“A storm is about to come and the Xiang River is surging; the road is covered with thorns. The Nine Gates are connected to enter a new situation and set off today.”
That’s all we’re getting for now — classic mystique.
What’s confirmed though is that this second season marks a new chapter. Of the original S1 cast, only William Chan is returning. Zhao Liying, Lay Zhang, and Yuan Bingyan are not part of this lineup.
Remember those 2022 rumours that Joe Chen might replace Zhao Liying? You can officially toss those in the bin — no Joe, and no Liying either. This is a fresh slate, new faces, same vibes.
