The success party for Pursuit of Jade (逐玉) didn’t waste time pretending to be low-key. Held at Beijing’s Four Seasons Hotel on the evening of the 13th, the private banquet quickly became the industry’s worst-kept secret, as clips, reactions, and whispers flooded online. 

Front and centre were Zhang Linghe and Tian Xiwei, whose on-screen chemistry has now translated into something far more influential: a ratings juggernaut that has quietly reset expectations for long-form Chinese dramas.

The venue leaned fully into nostalgia, greeting guests with “Welcome back to Xigu Lane,” a detail that felt less like décor and more like a calculated emotional trigger. 

For viewers, Xigu Lane is where everything began — where Tian Xiwei’s Fan Changyu first looked after Zhang Linghe’s Xie Zheng, injured and guarded, before romance slowly took over.

It’s the sort of fictional address fans would happily apply for residency in, and judging by the reaction online, many already have.

When Zhang Linghe took the stage, the tone shifted from celebratory to quietly reflective. 

He spoke about the 400-day filming process without dressing it up — long shoots, harsh outdoor conditions, and physically demanding sequences that tested everyone involved. 

Still, he singled out the softer moments, particularly those shared with Tian Xiwei in Xigu Lane, describing them as “warm and memorable,” which, in industry speak, is about as close as one gets to poetic. 

His remarks also touched on the current slowdown in the drama market, noting that Pursuit of Jade had done something rare: it made investors feel optimistic again. 

By the end of his speech, his voice faltered slightly, a reminder that even the most composed leading men are not immune to a room full of people who actually made the magic happen.

If Zhang Linghe brought introspection, Tian Xiwei arrived with perspective. Her speech focused on scale — not just ratings, but reach. 

She recalled the moment the show’s popularity index crossed the 10,000 mark across two platforms, admitting it didn’t quite register until she saw the internet do what it does best: turn drama scenes into memes, edits, and viral commentary. For her, that was the real indicator of impact. 

More notably, she framed the drama’s overseas performance — including strong traction on Netflix and in markets like Taiwan and Singapore — as part of a broader responsibility. 

She spoke about cultural export with a level of clarity that suggests she’s already thinking several projects ahead, positioning herself not just as an actress, but as a participant in shaping how Chinese storytelling travels globally.

Then came the moment no one had on their bingo card. Xu Yiruo, manager to Zhang Linghe, and Gong Yuhan, who manages Tian Xiwei, were spotted raising glasses together. 

For context, their professional history has been defined less by collaboration and more by a long-standing dispute dating back to 2017 over billing order issues tied to Begonia Rouge. 

For years, this tension fed speculation that any further collaboration between the two actors was effectively off the table. Yet here they were, toasting like colleagues who had either resolved their differences or at least agreed to pause them for the sake of something bigger. Either way, the optics were loud.

Naturally, fans and netizens wasted no time dissecting every second of it. Some are calling it the “reconciliation of the century,” others are cautiously optimistic, and a few remain sceptical, noting that one toast does not automatically erase years of industry friction. Still, the prevailing mood leans hopeful. 

Social media has been flooded with comments imagining a second collaboration, with many pointing out that the timing feels almost too neat to be accidental. A hit drama, a public show of unity, and two leads whose popularity is peaking at the same time — it’s the sort of alignment that tends to make producers move quickly.

Will Zhang Linghe and Tian Xiwei Reunite?

Industry observers are already reading between the lines. The apparent easing of tensions between Xu Yiruo and Gong Yuhan removes a logistical barrier that previously complicated joint projects. 

With Pursuit of Jade proving that the pairing of Zhang Linghe and Tian Xiwei delivers both ratings and international appeal, the commercial argument for reuniting them is stronger than ever. Scripts, one suspects, are already circulating quietly in the background.

The date of the banquet added another layer of sentimentality. It marked exactly one year since filming the drama’s grand wedding scene — a detail that did not go unnoticed by fans who have an impressive memory for timelines. 

The reunion carried a sense of closure, but not quite an ending. Photos of Tian Xiwei leaving the venue, smiling with what looked like equal parts relief and pride, spread rapidly online, reinforcing the idea that this was a celebration not just of success, but of endurance.

Whether this night marks the beginning of a new chapter or simply a well-timed pause remains to be seen. What’s clear is that Pursuit of Jade has shifted the conversation — about storytelling, market confidence, and the power of a pairing that audiences are not ready to let go of. 

The real question now is straightforward: if the door is finally open, do they walk through it again, or leave fans replaying Xigu Lane on loop?
