Fresh off the success of Shine on Me, Song Weilong and Zhao Jinmai have once again landed themselves right in the middle of CP discussions, this time through a high-profile Guerlain advertising campaign. Their intimate reunion photoshoot dropped unexpectedly and instantly reignited fan excitement, proving that their on-screen chemistry clearly didn’t stay on set.
Earlier this year, Shine on Me wrapped its run with solid word of mouth, scoring 7.4 on Douban and becoming one of the most talked-about romance dramas of the season. Song Weilong’s calm, sharp CEO and Zhao Jinmai’s warm, sincere heroine left a lasting impression, with many viewers praising how natural and emotionally grounded their pairing felt. Even months after the finale, the CP popularity has shown no sign of cooling down.
Guerlain’s decision to appoint both actors as brand ambassadors only added fuel to the fire. The brand unveiled four photos from their joint shoot on official platforms, and the visuals quickly made rounds online.

From leaning comfortably on each other’s shoulders to playful heart gestures and teasingly close poses, the overall vibe leaned heavily into intimacy rather than polished distance, something netizens picked up on immediately.
During the shoot, Song Weilong balanced two completely different energies. In a bluish-purple shirt with a dark tie, he looked every bit the composed, authoritative lead fans recognise.
But once Zhao Jinmai entered the frame, that image softened fast. He leaned closer, clung playfully behind her, and showed a cheeky side that viewers rarely see in formal brand campaigns.

Zhao Jinmai, styled with short hair and a pink mini dress, brought an easy charm to the shoot, smiling openly and responding naturally to his antics. The contrast only highlighted how comfortable the two appear together.
Fan and netizen reactions have been sharply divided yet equally loud. One group is firmly in CP mode, flooding comment sections with calls for a second collaboration and joking that Guerlain just dropped a “mini sequel” to Shine on Me.
Another camp praised the brand’s casting choice, saying the chemistry elevated the campaign far beyond a standard endorsement.
There were also more grounded voices reminding everyone that the actors have separate career paths, urging fans to enjoy the moment without overhyping future projects.

On the work front, both actors are keeping busy. Song Weilong has two upcoming dramas lined up, including the large-scale fantasy The Eternal Fragrance with Ju Jingyi and the modern romance Love for You alongside Zhang Jingyi.
Zhao Jinmai, meanwhile, is set to lead the workplace drama Irreplaceable with Wei Daxun, a project that’s already drawing strong anticipation.
Still, despite their packed schedules, the Guerlain reunion has clearly struck a nerve. Whether you see it as clever brand chemistry or a genuine spark that deserves another drama, the conversation isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
What do you think, should Song Weilong and Zhao Jinmai reunite on screen again, or is this Guerlain moment enough to keep the CP dream alive?
