| William Chan and Zhao Lusi Rumoured to Reunite in “Love’s Ambition 2” as Sequel Buzz Grows |
Hong Kong actor William Chan is back in action — and back in the spotlight. After welcoming his first child earlier this year, the Love’s Ambition (许我耀眼) star has officially returned to work, jetting off to Italy to film the third season of the popular variety show Natural High (现在就出发3).
He’s joined by Adam Fan Chengcheng, Johnny Huang (Huang Jingyu), and Shen Teng, making it one of the most anticipated celebrity line-ups of the season.
Before taking off, William Chan was greeted by a massive crowd of fans at Beijing Airport.
Ever the gentleman, he stopped to chat, took photos, and even reminded everyone to stay safe — “Be careful, watch out for the people in front, and mind the luggage carts,” he told them with a smile.
When fans asked him for a heart pose, he happily obliged, earning yet another round of praise for his genuine, fan-friendly attitude.

Filming in Italy
Once in Italy, the cast wasted no time diving into filming — exploring Milan’s streets, visiting local landmarks, and tasting authentic Italian food.
William Chan was spotted strolling through Milan in casual designer wear, quickly going viral online for his effortless style.
During the shoot, he took on the role of a “Cantonese teacher,” teasing Shen Teng and Johnny Huang as they hilariously struggled with pronunciation.
Fans online loved the chemistry among the cast, calling it “the most chaotic yet charming travel team ever.”
William Chan and Fan Chengcheng’s reunion especially stood out. The two had previously worked together in FOURTRY Season 2 (潮流合伙人2), and their dynamic hasn’t lost its spark.
Videos of them posing in sync along Milan’s fashion streets led netizens to dub them “the coolest duo in the fashion capital.”

Love’s Ambition 2 in the Works?
Meanwhile, Love’s Ambition continues to hold its grip on viewers and trend charts.
The romantic drama pairing William Chan and Zhao Lusi became one of 2025’s most-talked-about series.
Now, reports from Hong Kong media suggest that a sequel is already in early development, with both William Chan and Zhao Lusi being considered to reprise their roles.
Though no official announcement has been made, the rumour alone has fans buzzing.
“If they come back together, it’ll break the internet,” one netizen commented.
“Their chemistry was insane.”
Online Drama Over… Another Drama
While the sequel talk thrilled fans, things took an unexpected turn online when Love’s Ambition was compared to Charmaine Sheh’s upcoming drama The Queen of News 2 (新聞女王2).
One netizen remarked that The Queen of News 2 “captures the atmosphere Love’s Ambition tried to achieve.”
That seemingly harmless comment escalated when Love’s Ambition’s official promotional account responded, “Not in the same lane,” implying the two shows weren’t comparable — or worse, that one was superior.
The blunt reply sparked backlash, forcing the production team to issue a public apology and reassign the staff member responsible, promising to “improve internal communication and professionalism.”
Zhao Lusi Earns Praise
Amid the online noise, respected CCTV anchor Li Sisi stepped in to show support for Zhao Lusi.
She praised Zhao Lusi’s portrayal of a news anchor as “convincing, ambitious, and grounded in realism.”
According to Li, Zhao Lusi’s character Xu Yan reflected the kind of healthy ambition that naturally comes with striving for excellence — a subtle but powerful nod to the actress’s growth and dedication.
The Buzz Isn’t Dying Anytime Soon
Between his Italian filming adventures and rumours of a reunion with Zhao Lusi, William Chan is clearly having a moment.
Fans are eagerly watching both the sequel developments and his ongoing variety show journey.
If Love’s Ambition 2 does get the green light, it’s safe to say — the internet’s not ready for the reunion of William Chan and Zhao Lusi.
