| Will Zhao Liying Make a Surprise Cameo in The Mystic Nine Season 2? |
Alright folks, it’s finally happening — The Mystic Nine is officially getting a Season 2 (titled: The Treasured Bajia Book)! After years of fans practically chanting for a sequel, the production team has confirmed the cameras are rolling again, and yep — the new main cast has been announced too. But wait — that’s not all. A juicy little rumour is causing waves online, and it’s got everything to do with Zhao Liying and her fan-favourite role as Yin Xinyue.
📣 Who’s Back in Town?
Let’s start with the official line-up. Returning to lead the charge is William Chan, reprising his role as the ever-dashing Zhang Qishan. He’s joined this time by Joseph Zeng Shunxi, stepping into the role of Wu Laogou, and the stunning Sebrina Chen Yao as Huo Xiangu. Strong trio, no doubt.
But here’s where things get interesting — or should we say nostalgic? Whispers are floating around that Zhao Liying might just pop up for a cheeky little cameo in Season 2. Yep, you heard that right.
🧭 Throwback to the Qiyue Couple Era
 |
For those who missed the train back in 2016, Zhao Liying and William Chan’s characters — Yin Xinyue and Zhang Qishan — were nothing short of iconic. The pair formed the legendary “Qiyue Couple” that had fans squealing with every glance and tragic moment. It was mystery, mayhem, and slow-burn romance all rolled into one — and honestly, fans still haven’t recovered.
So, when Sohu dropped the bomb that Zhao Liying might return for a special appearance in the sequel, fans went into full detective mode. Social media’s buzzing, fan edits are already flying around, and everyone’s wondering: is this real or just wishful thinking?
🤫 No Confirmation Yet — But Hope’s Still Alive
Let’s be clear though — Zhao Liying’s name hasn’t shown up in any of the official Season 2 materials. No posters, no behind-the-scenes peeks, nothing. Her studio hasn’t said a word either. Silence — and you know what that means in C-drama land: either she’s not involved at all, or they’re saving it for a massive surprise drop.
The production team is playing things close to the chest, and we’re not mad about it. After all, The Mystic Nine thrives on suspense — why should the cast announcements be any different?
🎬 What We Know About Season 2 So Far
Season 2 promises to dig even deeper into the tomb-raiding, family secrets, and war-time conspiracies that made the original such a hit. With new characters entering the fray and the mystery lore expanding, it’s shaping up to be one wild ride. Whether or not Yin Xinyue appears, we’re definitely in for some serious throwbacks and plot twists.
But still — the idea of one last glimpse of Qiyue Couple? Yeah, we’re manifesting.
