| “You Two Aren’t Right!” – Guo Junchen & He Ruixian Trend After Cute Sword and Beloved Live |
Chinese actor Guo Junchen has found himself in the spotlight once again—this time, not for drama roles, but for all the online chatter linking him to the late Yu Menglong.
Over the past few weeks, a series of posts comparing their looks, expressions, and gestures have gone viral, with some netizens dubbing him the “next Yu Menglong.”
Guo’s studio quickly put out a statement calling the claims completely baseless and defamatory, stressing that the talk was purely a result of netizens’ overinterpretation.
“Please refrain from spreading unverified information,” they wrote, making it clear that the actor has no connection whatsoever to those rumours.
But the story didn’t stop there.
Online whispers soon tied Guo Junchen’s name to Yang Mi and her new agency, Tianyi Entertainment.
Several gossip accounts claimed that Yang Mi might be planning to sign Guo Junchen under her management—an apparent “shield” move to protect him from the harsh scrutiny that Yu Menglong once endured.
While a supposed “leaked roster” listed his name among potential signees, neither Yang Mi’s camp nor Guo’s side has confirmed any deal.
💬 Sweet Chaos on Livestream
Just when it looked like the rumours might die down, Guo Junchen and He Ruixian lit up Weibo with a joint livestream promoting their fantasy-romance drama Sword and Beloved (天地剑心).
During the October 30 broadcast, the pair’s natural banter, side glances, and warm laughter instantly caught fans’ attention.
From teasing each other about behind-the-scenes moments to joking over costume mishaps, their chemistry was undeniable—so much so that the hashtag #郭俊辰何瑞贤你俩不对劲# (“Guo Junchen and He Ruixian, you two are suspicious”) shot up the trending list within hours.
Clips of the duo exchanging shy smiles and witty remarks flooded social platforms, and netizens couldn’t decide whether to ship them or just admire their adorable friendship.
⚔️ About the Drama – Sword and Beloved
Set in a world torn between humans and spirits, Sword and Beloved stars Cheng Yi as the battle-hardened warrior Wangquan Fu Gui, and Li Yitong as Qing Tong, a cunning spider spirit sent to spy on him.
Guo Junchen plays Quan Rumu, Fu Gui’s childhood companion and loyal ally, a moral anchor caught in the web of politics and war.
His character adds emotional grounding and tension as he struggles between friendship and duty.
Meanwhile, He Ruixian steps into the role of Long Weiyun, a mysterious figure from a powerful spiritual clan whose choices alter the fate of both realms.
Her presence brings complexity and quiet strength to the storyline.
The 36-episode series is slated to drop later this year on iQIYI and WeTV, blending fantasy battles, heartfelt romance, and moral dilemmas in a visually rich universe.

Though both stars have stayed silent on the “off-screen connection” rumours, fans aren’t holding back.
Comment sections are flooded with remarks like “Their chemistry is too real!” and “Can we have a spin-off just for them?”
Regardless of whether sparks are flying behind the camera, one thing’s for sure—Guo Junchen and He Ruixian have successfully turned a wave of speculation into a viral moment, reminding everyone that sometimes, a bit of natural charm is all it takes to steal the spotlight.
