Tencent is gearing up to launch its newest costume drama, Love Game in Eastern Fantasy (Yong Ye Xing He), on November 1. This highly anticipated 32-episode series marks the second collaboration between popular actors Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi, who previously starred together in the modern drama Moonlight.
A Unique Storyline That Engages Fans
Love Game in Eastern Fantasy is adapted from the renowned manhua The Guide to Capturing a Black Lotus. The story follows Ling Miaomiao, portrayed by Esther Yu, a mathematics student who mysteriously transmigrates into a fantasy game world known as Demon Hunters. In this new reality, Miaomiao inhabits the body of Ling Yu, a cheerful and ambitious third main character who often finds herself at odds with the novel’s protagonists.
Romance and Adventure in a Fantasy Setting
Within the game world, Ling Yu encounters Mu Sheng, played by Ding Yuxi, the adopted son of the prestigious Mu family and the younger brother of the female lead, Mu Yao (Zhu Xudan). Mu Sheng is depicted as a noble and gentle individual, though he can be snappy and fiercely protective of those he cares about, especially his older brother who frequently faces challenges from Ling Yu.
As Ling Miaomiao navigates this intricate game world, she discovers that she must complete various missions to find a way back to her own reality. Her journey is filled with romance, adventure, and unexpected twists that promise to keep viewers engaged throughout the series.
Returning Fans and New Viewers Alike
Fans of Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi are excited to see the duo reunite on screen, bringing their chemistry from Moonlight to this fantasy setting. The show’s unique blend of modern transmigration themes with traditional costume drama elements is expected to attract a wide audience, appealing to both existing fans and newcomers.
Love Game in Eastern Fantasy promises a captivating mix of love, strategy, and fantasy, making it a must-watch series starting this November.
