| Zhang Ruonan Shows Big Support for Bai Jingting’s Mobius Premiere – Buys 500 iQiyi Viewing Slots |
Bai Jingting’s brand-new drama Mobius (不眠日) dropped on iQIYI today, and it didn’t just catch attention for its crime-fantasy storyline.
The real buzz came from Zhang Ruonan – his former co-star from The First Frost (難哄) – who went out of her way to show support in a rather unusual way.
According to industry chatter, Zhang Ruonan’s studio bulk-purchased 500 viewing slots via iQIYI’s cloud screening feature.

This option, usually used by brands or fan groups, lets people buy premium memberships in bulk to create an online group-watching experience.
For an actress to make that kind of public move? Rare, bold, and instantly loaded with meaning.
Naturally, CP (couple pairing) fans wasted no time framing it as a sweet gesture towards Bai Jingting.
From The First Frost to Mobius

Ever since The First Frost stormed the charts with a whopping 17.5 billion views earlier this year, Bai Jingting and Zhang Ruonan have been riding a wave of skyrocketing popularity.
Their onscreen chemistry was such a hit that CP fans still hold them up as one of the best pairings in modern C-drama.
And let’s be real – the rumours never really cooled off, thanks to their “coincidental” same-colour outfits, matching captions, and near-simultaneous social media updates.
With Mobius finally live, it feels like the fandom just found fresh fuel.
On the very same day, Zhang Ruonan showed up at the opening of a Michael Kors boutique in China – and her look had people talking just as much as her viewing slot gesture.

Ditching her trademark “sweet girl next door” vibe, she went retro-chic: curled hair, warm maillard-tone (think autumn browns) outfit, sharp black eyeliner, dark red nails, and MK’s signature gold hoops.
The reception? Glowing.
Netizens praised the transformation for balancing vintage glam with a modern edge.
CP fans, of course, found another link – pointing out that her earthy colour palette closely matched Bai Jingting’s Louis Vuitton look from June. Cue the “they’re sending signals again” jokes across Weibo.

From breakout roles in Cry Me a Sad River and Your Wedding, to The First Frost cementing her as one of the faces of 2025, Zhang Ruonan has steadily climbed into top-actress territory.
With Mobius now on air and her very public backing of Bai Jingting, the duo are once again the hottest conversation in Chinese entertainment – both for work and everything in between.
