| Xu Kai’s Surprise Cameo in Love’s Ambition Sends Fans into Frenzy — Spot the Hidden “As Beautiful As You” Easter Egg! |
The hit C-drama Love’s Ambition (许我耀眼) is still riding high on the viewership charts, but the latest episode gave fans more than just emotional tension — it gave them a full-on easter egg moment.
In episode 25, as Xu Yan (played by Zhao Lusi) finalises her divorce from Shen Haoming (William Chan) and launches her own fashion brand Yan Yi Fang, sharp-eyed viewers noticed something odd during a background news segment.

A suited man appears briefly on screen, shaking hands and sitting across from the characters — and fans were quick to freeze-frame, zoom in, and shout: “Wait, isn’t that Xu Kai?!”
Turns out, it was.
The man in question is Han Yan — Xu Kai’s character from As Beautiful As You (你比星光美丽) — making a blink-and-you-miss-it return in the middle of Love’s Ambition.

The hilarious part? The cameo wasn’t even filmed fresh.
The short clip was directly lifted from As Beautiful As You, cheekily tying the two dramas together in a blink of cinematic mischief.
According to online sleuths and drama fans on Baidu’s WZ Gossip Boy, this crossover was no accident.
Both shows share the same director, Chen Chang, who clearly decided to leave a tiny treat for fans familiar with his work.

For those unfamiliar, the term easter egg comes from Western pop culture and refers to hidden references or secret details tucked away by creators for attentive fans to discover.
They’re basically creative winks across universes — and Chen Chang’s definitely playing along.
Social media has been buzzing with excitement.
One popular Weibo comment read: “It felt nostalgic to see President Han again, even for just a second. What a lovely surprise!”
Now, playful debates have erupted among fans — who’s the real heart-stealer: the calm, elegant President Han from As Beautiful As You, or the fiery, love-struck President Shen from Love’s Ambition?
Whichever side you’re on, one thing’s clear — Chen Chang just turned a casual background scene into the most-replayed moment of the week.
