| iQIYI’s ‘My Queen, My Rules’ Rumoured to Reunite Ao Ruipeng & Li Landi in Modern CEO Romance |
Looks like iQIYI is cooking up another high-profile romance for drama fans — and this time it might just bring back a fan-favourite on-screen couple. The upcoming modern C-drama My Queen, My Rules (不二之臣), adapted from the popular novel Your Most Faithful Companion by Bu Zhi Shi Ke Cai, is reportedly eyeing Ao Ruipeng and Li Landi as its leads.
The project, helmed by director Randy Che (The Best Thing), promises a glossy, high-stakes romance set against the backdrop of China’s ultra-wealthy elite.
It’s the classic "two strong leads" formula with a twist — childhood sweethearts who end up in a marriage first, love later situation.

Plot at a glance
The female lead is your textbook modern drama darling — sweet, noble, straightforward, and with a cheeky princess syndrome. She’s also a budding actress who’s not afraid to speak her mind.
Her other half? A tall, rich, handsome CEO with a dark past — kidnapped as a child but eventually reunited with his wealthy birth family. Both hail from top-tier families, so when they cross paths again as adults, sparks (and perhaps some business alliances) are bound to fly.

| My Queen, My Rules: Ao Ruipeng & Li Landi Tipped for Modern Romance Reunion |
Ever since Ao Ruipeng was rumoured to be locked in as the male lead, fans have been in overdrive speculating about who would play opposite him. Early whispers included big names like Gulnazar, Wu Xuanyi, Yang Chaoyue, and Xu Ruohan. But the surprise frontrunner turned out to be Li Landi — thanks to the explosive chemistry she shared with Ao in the summer hit Coroner’s Diary.
The pairing is more than just a visual win — their previous collaboration gave viewers an effortless mix of sweetness, tension, and believable romantic beats. With both actors riding a wave of popularity, the potential reunion is already stirring up heavy online anticipation.
Production & expectations
While filming is tentatively scheduled for Q4 this year, the final casting hasn’t been officially sealed. If the Ao Ruipeng–Li Landi combo does return, paired with an experienced production team, My Queen, My Rules could easily land on the must-watch list for modern idol dramas in 2026.
For now, fans are keeping a close eye on official announcements — because if this reunion happens, the drama world’s about to get another power couple worth shipping.
