Fans are buzzing after How Dare You—also known as Cheng He Ti Tong—finally confirmed Cheng Lei and Wang Churan as its leading couple. The production team, led by directors Liu Haibo and Wang Li, held a lively boot ceremony in Hengdian yesterday. Many onlookers were thrilled by the strong connection shown by Cheng Lei and Wang Churan. They wore elegant costumes that highlighted their easygoing bond, impressing both fans and industry insiders.
This costume drama also stars Daddi Tang and Hu Yixuan. It is based on the popular novel This is Ridiculous by Qi Yingjun, featuring a story of transmigration. Wang Churan plays Yu Wanyin, an overworked employee who suddenly wakes up inside a royal novel she was reading. Her character joins forces with King Duan—played by Cheng Lei—who also hails from the modern world.
Things get more intriguing when another main character from the modern world appears: the novel’s female protagonist. Yu Wanyin, King Duan, and the heroine face challenges that test their loyalty and strength. Fans cannot wait to see how these three modern travelers will adapt to ancient royal life and whether they can work together to fulfill their separate goals.
