| Unveil Jadewind Fever: Bai Lu’s Natural Selfie Trends While Wang Xingyue Gifts Two Stars (Photo: Weibo/Bai Lu) |
Bai Lu is trending across Chinese social media after posting a natural four-shot selfie to celebrate the soaring success of her latest drama Unveil: Jadewind. Within hours, the post rocketed up Douyin’s hot search rankings, pulling in over 100 million views and cementing the drama’s momentum as one of the season’s strongest performers.
The viral moment came as Unveil: Jadewind crossed the 10,000 popularity index mark on Youku in just 73 hours of release — a milestone that signals both strong viewership and serious buzz. Rather than share a polished studio shoot, Bai Lu opted for something far more low-key.
The four photos, taken in a relaxed home setting, showed her fresh-faced, off-duty and effortlessly charming. No dramatic lighting, no heavy styling — just a candid side of one of China’s top actresses.

Fans were quick to spotlight the contrast. On stage and on screen, Bai Lu delivers sharp, regal visuals and commanding performances. In her selfie set, she looked soft, bright and surprisingly down-to-earth.
The topic climbed rapidly because it felt real. Viewers praised her confidence in showing a natural look, calling it refreshing in an era dominated by filters and curated perfection.
But the celebrations did not stop there.
Her co-star Wang Xingyue added his own unexpected twist — and this time, he looked to the sky.

Leaning into his role as Taishi Cheng Xiao Huaijin, the drama’s brilliant astronomical officer, Wang Xingyue revealed that he had named two actual stars “Lucky Star” and “Xingyue Star.”

The symbolic message behind it — “Two stars as witnesses, mutually attracting each other” — immediately sparked discussion online.
In Unveil: Jadewind, his character frequently uses star maps and astronomical calculations to unravel complex cases. By extending that concept into real life, Wang Xingyue blurred the line between fiction and reality in a way fans found both clever and romantic.
Netizens joked that he is “solving mysteries with constellations on screen and sending signals through the galaxy off screen.”
The pairing of Bai Lu and Wang Xingyue is hardly new to audiences. Having previously collaborated in Story of Kunning Palace and sharing the same management company, the two are often associated with strong on-screen chemistry and comfortable off-screen rapport.
Their latest interactions have once again fuelled discussions about their dynamic, with clips, edits and fan-made theories spreading across platforms.

Fans and netizens reactions to this vary. Some see it as a pure promotional move cleverly tied to the drama’s astronomical theme. Others view it as a thoughtful and creative gesture that elevates the show’s narrative beyond the screen.
Many simply enjoy the synergy, praising how both stars celebrate success in distinct but equally memorable ways — Bai Lu grounding it in authenticity, Wang Xingyue elevating it to the cosmos.
Meanwhile, Unveil: Jadewind continues to build momentum with strong word-of-mouth around its pacing, investigative storyline and Tang dynasty aesthetics. The combination of crime-solving intrigue and celestial symbolism has clearly resonated with audiences.
Selfies breaking 100 million views and stars being named in the sky, the promotional game for Unveil: Jadewind has officially reached another level.
So what do you think — is Wang Xingyue’s star gesture peak romance or peak marketing genius? And did Bai Lu’s natural selfie deserve all the hype?
