The upcoming Chinese costume drama Chasing Dreams has captured everyone’s attention even before its official release. The show, produced by Tencent, has sparked excitement thanks to its leads, Chen Zheyuan and Zhang Jingyi, who impressed fans with their strong chemistry and stunning visuals during filming.
Many remember Zhang Jingyi’s earlier role in Novoland: Pearl Eclipse, where her talent and grace first caught the public eye. Now, fans are thrilled to see her star as Princess Tilan in Chasing Dreams. Wearing beautiful hanfu and a delicate headdress, Zhang Jingyi’s look is winning over the audience. Compared to her past costume drama, Blossoms in Adversity, her elegance has grown even more striking, making her perfect for a noble character.
Chen Zheyuan, playing the role of Tang Qianzi, a palace guard, also leaves a strong impression. His fit and muscular build, combined with his calm strength, makes his character feel both brave and reliable. Together, Chen Zheyuan and Zhang Jingyi share heartwarming behind-the-scenes moments, stirring up even more interest in Chasing Dreams.
This drama, based on the novel Xie Luo by Xiao Ruse, follows the story of Princess Tilan, a blind princess from Xilu who grew up protected within the palace walls. She accidentally forms a marriage contract with Tang Qianzi from Donglu because of a simple earring. Despite coming from very different worlds, their relationship blossoms into true love.
However, a terrible coup threatens the palace and puts their romance in danger. Tilan, no longer willing to remain silent, joins Tang Qianzi to uncover the truth behind the conspiracy. Tang Qianzi, originally sent as a secret guard to investigate the palace, finds himself touched by Tilan’s courage. As they face many troubles, their bond grows stronger.
In the end, with their efforts, Tang Qianzi and Tilan rise above the chaos, holding hands as they build a brighter future together.
