A Reunion Straight Out of a Drama Scene
The duo, whose historical romance Fated Hearts (一笑隨歌) recently wrapped up with fans still craving a wedding scene, arrived together looking like they’d stepped straight out of a modern fairytale.

Li Qin stunned in a black-and-white haute couture gown adorned with lace detailing—sophisticated yet soft, giving major “drama heroine at a royal ball” vibes.
Chen Zheyuan, on the other hand, played the perfect leading man in a sleek black suit layered over a crisp white shirt with elegant billowy sleeves.
To top it off, he added a leather coat—before dramatically removing it mid-photo session and gently wrapping his arms around Li Qin as she held a single red rose.

The pose had everyone melting.
Their faces were so close that fans joked, “You could feel the love radiating through the lens.”
Netizens Lose It Over “Reincarnated Lovers”
Within minutes, photos of the pair hit Weibo and completely blew up.
Fans couldn’t get over how naturally affectionate they looked, saying it was as if their Fated Hearts characters had been reborn in the modern world.
Comments flooded in, calling them “the reincarnated lovers we never stopped rooting for” and begging production companies to cast them in another romantic drama soon.
Some even noted that this reunion felt like poetic justice, especially since the drama ended on a bittersweet note.
“No wedding on screen, so they gave us one on the red carpet,” one fan joked.

Netizens Start Dating Buzz
Weibo soon turned into a frenzy of playful speculation as viewers began to wonder if the chemistry was just acting—or something more.
Comments poured in such as, “Are they dating?”,
“Their chemistry is way too strong even off-screen,”
and “From the way they look at each other, I swear they’re in love.”
Another user added, “If they really are dating, I totally support them!”
while someone else said, “That red carpet moment was unforgettable—I watched it thinking they’re definitely a real couple.”
One popular comment summed it up perfectly: “They might be a CP in the drama, but it feels so real in real life.”
Star-Studded Night of Nostalgic Pairings
But Li Qin and Chen Zheyuan weren’t the only ones serving nostalgia.
The event turned into a festival of iconic reunions: Ma Sichun and Zhou Dongyu—the unforgettable pair from Soul Mate (七月與安生)—reunited and even mimicked one of their film’s famous friendly poses, making fans squeal with joy.
Meanwhile, Victoria Song and Song Weilong, the much-loved duo from Find Yourself (下一站是幸福), walked the carpet together too, sending longtime fans into a wave of romantic nostalgia.
“It felt like a hidden epilogue we didn’t know we needed,” one netizen commented.
And just when fans thought the night couldn’t get any sweeter, Deep Affection Eyes (深情眼) stars Zhang Yuxi and Bi Wenjun appeared together, glowing side by side like their story had never ended.
When Fashion Meets Fiction
In the end, VOGUE China’s 20th Anniversary Gala became more than a fashion event—it was a night where art, style, and fandom collided.
For many viewers, it was pure wish fulfilment: the worlds of fantasy and reality briefly merged, and beloved on-screen couples lived again, if only for a few shining moments.
As one fan perfectly summed it up online: “It wasn’t just a gala. It was Fated Hearts, Soul Mate, and Find Yourself—all reborn under the flashlights.”
