She first shot to wider recognition as Shangguan Qian in My Journey to You (云之羽), and more recently, her turn as Yun Li in When I Meet the Moon (折月亮) kept her firmly in the spotlight.
Now, all eyes are on her newest costume drama Love in the Clouds, co-starring Hou Minghao, which is reportedly heading into its promotional phase and expected to air in the third quarter.

In Love in the Clouds, Lu Yuxiao transforms into Ming Yi, a formidable war goddess who conceals her true identity by disguising herself as a graceful dancer in order to approach the male lead.
The story follows the annual “Qingyun Tournament”, where Hou Minghao’s character Ji Bozai, a convict-turned-champion, defeats Ming Yi, breaking her seven-year winning streak.
What follows is a tense, push-and-pull relationship as both hide behind false identities, balancing duty, justice, and forbidden attraction.

From ethereal pastel looks to striking red ensembles, Lu Yuxiao shows off a full spectrum of styles.
Fans were particularly struck by her dark “red dress” transformation, a bold departure from her usual pure-hearted heroine image, proving she can pull off intensity as easily as innocence.
Early stills and teasers reveal a stunning contrast: Lu Yuxiao’s elegant warrior and dancer disguises paired against Hou Minghao’s dual styling — from mysterious black-haired elegance to a striking white-haired form that has already made viewers swoon.

Their joint posters, especially the snowy red wedding attire shots, carry a strong sense of fate and tension, leaving fans debating whether the two characters are destined for love or destruction.
Even if some viewers feel their CP chemistry isn’t the strongest, their individual visuals are enough to keep audiences hooked.
Many comment that Hou Minghao’s white-haired look carries a “manhua come-to-life” quality, while Lu Yuxiao’s blue and red costumes alone could sustain the hype.

With its original novel already boasting a fanbase, plus the fresh pairing of Lu Yuxiao and Hou Minghao, Love in the Clouds is already tipped to be a hit whenever it lands on screen.
The combination of epic fantasy visuals, romantic tension, and identity-driven drama makes it one of the most anticipated costume works in Lu Yuxiao’s career to date.
As one fan put it after seeing the stills: “This drama could air any time and it would still trend. We’ve already got our snacks ready — just drop it!”
