| William Chan Wins Fans’ Hearts for Standing by Zhao Lusi Amid Agency Woes |
This isn’t their first rodeo together.
Long before Love’s Ambition, the pair appeared on the variety show Fairy Tale (童話), where they played games with kids and made balloons.
Zhao Lusi, hilariously, kept popping the balloons, prompting one child to ask why it always happened around her.

William Chan’s witty comeback—“She always wants to make it spectacular; wherever she goes, the atmosphere just explodes!”—had the studio laughing and fans already hoping they’d reunite in a drama.
Years later, that little moment has aged well, because the duo is now delivering exactly that spark on screen.
What’s really warming hearts though is Chan’s behaviour off camera.
According to Taiwanese media, when Zhao Lusi faced some turbulence with her agency and found herself a little isolated, William Chan didn’t keep his distance like others.
Instead, he reached out with a simple but impactful message: “When are you filming again?”
For Lusi, that small show of kindness carried a lot of weight.
Netizens praised Chan for being genuine, supportive, and just the kind of colleague everyone wishes they had.
Their easy camaraderie shows up during livestreams too. Lusi once poked fun at Chan looking slimmer, joking: “Who is that? William Chan? You look so thin!”
William Chan cheekily explained that the drop in weight was thanks to Hengdian’s 40°C heat and heavy period costumes, adding: “Filming in this condition is actually more comfortable.”

And of course, William Chan isn’t shy about complimenting his co-star.
In one scene where Zhao Lusi wore a backless dress, he quipped: “How can there be a woman this beautiful? Your back is stunning!” before laughing at himself and calling his reaction “weird.”
Naturally, Lusi burst into giggles.
When asked if he’d work with her again, Chan joked: “I definitely want to, but you’re getting older.”
Their cheeky exchanges only fuel fans’ desire to see more of this pairing.

William Chan’s popularity has also been skyrocketing.
His Douyin account racks up an eye-popping 400 million daily views, proving he’s not just winning over drama fans but dominating short video platforms too.
On top of that, his recent drama The Mystic Nine: Recruitment (九门) pulled in 430,000 likes, cementing his status as one of the most bankable stars right now.
It’s clear William Chan’s career is hitting new heights, but what stands out to many is that behind the sharp suits and heavy costumes, he’s a thoughtful, humble co-star who knows when to crack a joke and when to show quiet support. And in an industry where genuine connections can be rare, that might just be what keeps his fans cheering the loudest.
