| Weibo Goes Mad as Dylan Wang Tipped to Play the Fierce General in New Historical Drama |
Dylan Wang Hedi – the one who made half the internet swoon in Love Between Fairy and Devil – is rumoured to be front-running for the male lead in a brand-new historical fantasy called The Poisonous Queen of a Military Family (将门独后), unofficial English title.
The buzz started flying on Monday and it’s been chaos ever since, with folk arguing, cheering, and making edits before anything’s even confirmed.
The drama’s said to be adapted from Qian Shan Cha Ke’s well-known novel The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage.
The story follows Shen Miao, a sharp lass born into a strict military clan who ends up betrayed by her own husband – a prince she helped rise to the throne.
She dies, comes back younger, and basically says, “Not this time, love.”
From that moment on, she’s out for blood and justice, crossing paths with Xie Jingxing, a proper cunning general with more secrets than a royal court.
So where does Dylan Wang fit in? Rumour’s saying he might play Xie Jingxing himself – the type of bloke who walks into a room and every general suddenly remembers to stand up straighter.
Fans are torn: some think he’s got the looks and the aura down pat, others reckon the role’s cursed because whoever plays it will cop endless debate online.
Typical Weibo chaos.
Still, it’s not just Dylan Wang’s name in the air. Gossip’s got it that Zhao Lusi, Meng Ziyi, and even Dilraba Dilmurat have been tossed around for the female lead.
Word is that Dilraba might’ve already said “nah, not this one”, probably ‘cause she’s knee-deep in another project – but no one’s gone on record, so it’s all talk for now.
If this project actually takes off, it’d join a proper list of Qian Shan Cha Ke’s works being turned into dramas lately – The Double, Legend of the Female General, The Glory – all carrying that same mix of power, heartbreak, and big fancy sleeves.
The Poisonous Queen would fit right in with that vibe: part revenge, part redemption, full of palace mind-games and grand military drama.
No studio confirmation yet, no posters, no press release – just enough whispers to send everyone spiralling.
But if it’s true, it could mark Dylan Wang’s return to a more intense historical lead after a string of modern and fantasy roles.
Fans are already saying things like, “He’d smash it if he channels his darker side,” while others reply with memes like, “Brace yourself, every auntie on Douban will have an opinion.”
Classic.
Until the production team speaks up, it’s all rumours and hope – but one thing’s clear: the idea of Dylan Wang Hedi leading The Poisonous Queen of a Military Family has got the fandom buzzing harder than a tea kettle in rush hour.
Stay tuned — ‘cause if this one gets the green light, it’s bound to be one of them dramas everyone’s watching, arguing about, and secretly loving.
