Bai Lu and Zhang Linghe’s “Story of Kunning Palace” Releases Thrilling Trailer

While buzz for her latest hit Till the End of the Moon <長月燼明> continues to trend on social media, Bai Lu (白鹿) will likely continue her hot streak with Story of Kunning Palace <寧安如夢>. Although there are no official confirmations yet, the iQiyi series is rumored to premiere on May 18. Over 3 million people reserved to watch, and its trailer reached online traffic of more than 8 million views in one day!

Adapted from the web novel ​​Kun Ning <坤宁> written by author Shi Jing (时镜), Story of Kunning Palace follows fallen queen, Jiang Xuening (Bai Lu), who is forced to commit suicide after the palace comes under siege and the death of the emperor. After her rebirth, she vows to undercover the truth behind Emperor Pingnan’s traitors 20 years ago by partnering with the imperial preceptor Xie Wei (Zhang Linghe 張凌赫).

Portraying the calm and intelligent Xuening, Bai Lu will be entangled in a complicated quadrangle relationship involving the talented and strategic Xie Wei, cool and righteous official Zhang Zhe (Wang Xingyue 王星越), and the straightforward and cheerful young master Yan Lin (Zhou Junwei 周峻緯).

From the thrilling trailer, Bai Lu’s chemistry is most intense with Zhang Linghe, which is expected given their offscreen romantic rumors. Since last year, the actress was spotted staying over at the latter’s home twice. They were also found to be wearing matching couple shoes and behaving very closely on set. While they never responded to their dating rumors, it is believed Bai Lu and Linghe fell in love while filming the drama.

Many viewers are eager for The Story of Kunning Palace to premiere, commenting, “I really want to see a real couple acting together! I’m shipping them very hard as a couple already!” and “This looks very promising–can’t wait to watch it soon!”
