| When I Fly Towards You Pair Zhou Yiran & Zhang Miaoyi Set for Xianxia Reunion in The Wrong Era |
Get ready for another round of onscreen chemistry—Zhou Yiran and Zhang Miaoyi are officially reuniting for Tencent’s new xianxia costume drama The Wrong Era (错世), adapted from the hit novel Wrong World (错世) by Kuang Shang Jia Kuang. Set to begin filming this September, the series will be helmed by none other than Guo Hu, the mastermind behind Mysterious Lotus Casebook.
And yes—it's that CP. “RangRang and ZaiZai” stans from When I Fly Towards You (小飞奔) are already buzzing. The second pairing is basically fanservice at this point, but hey—we're not complaining.
🥀 Plot Vibes: Cultivators, Chaos & Crack Comedy
 |
Described as a mix of high-stakes cultivation, twisted destiny, and explosive CP energy, The Wrong Era promises a wild blend of “smart-but-chaotic female delinquent” vs “scheming yet dashing demon lord”—yup, it’s a full-blown master-disciple romance with both leads being strong, sharp, and emotionally messy.
Add in a heavy dose of slapstick comedy and power dynamics, and this is giving peak 2025 xianxia rom-com. Think The Journey of Chong Zi meets My Sassy Princess, with a sprinkle of chaotic TikTok edits waiting to happen.
🎭 Cast Breakdown:

Zhou Yiran
Since bursting onto the scene with his sunny visuals and naturally laid-back acting style, Zhou Yiran’s become one of the go-to young leads in idol dramas.
If all goes to plan, he’ll be playing The Wrong Era’s male lead—rumoured to be a deep-thinking, morally grey powerhouse caught between political schemes and forbidden feelings. Exactly the kind of layered role he’s been waiting to sink his teeth into.
Zhang Miaoyi
Fresh off her adorably bold performance as Su Zaizai in When I Fly Towards You and the effortlessly cute energy she brought to Hard to Get (难哄), Zhang Miaoyi might just be the perfect pick for The Wrong Era’s female lead.
With her charm, range, and sharp instincts, fans are expecting her to bring both spunk and vulnerability to a character trapped in a destiny-warped fantasy world.
