Kapanlagi.com - The Chinese entertainment world is once again stirred by shocking news. Rumors suggest that two popular stars, Dylan Wang and Meng Ziyi, will be paired in the latest Chinese drama titled The Poisonous Empress of the General's Family, also known as The Lone Empress of the General's Family.

This news first emerged from an entertainment blogger on Weibo who stated that Tencent Video and New Classics Media have contacted both actors to star in this project. Interestingly, the director's chair is said to be filled by Yin Tao, the person behind the success of Under the Power and Changfeng Ferry, or Fei Zhenxiang, known for the popular series Ghost Blows Out the Light. However, there has been no official confirmation from the production side so far.

1. The Latest Chinese Drama Titled The Poisonous Empress of the General's Family

According to circulating leaks, this latest Chinese drama is scheduled to begin filming in the first quarter of 2026. The project is positioned as a pioneer of domestic dramas centered on women, with a storyline focusing on power struggles, revenge, and redemption between the two main characters.

In terms of themes and visual potential, many fans believe this drama could be one of the most ambitious shows in the coming year.

2. Fans Are Actually Protesting

However, these rumors have sparked a strong reaction among fans. On social media, the fanbases of Dylan Wang and Meng Ziyi have launched an ongoing boycott campaign, demanding official clarification from each studio.

Dylan Wang's fans are asking the public to focus on his upcoming new work, while Meng Ziyi's fans remind everyone to also pay attention to the three new dramas and commercial projects that the actress is currently working on.

If this news is true, the collaboration between Dylan Wang and Meng Ziyi could become one of the most anticipated new Chinese dramas of 2026. Their chemistry is considered to have strong potential given the intense and emotional dynamics of the characters Xie Jingxing and Shen Miao in the story.

However, for now, the public seems to still have to be patient while waiting for official confirmation from the production side.

5. Hope it comes true

Interestingly, in the last two years, the trend of Chinese dramas featuring strong female characters has been rapidly increasing. Series like Story of Kunning Palace and Destined have successfully captivated audiences with themes of palace politics and tough female characters.

If The Poisonous Empress of the General's Family is indeed produced, this drama has the potential to continue the wave of popularity for the female-centered historical drama genre that is currently dominating the Chinese entertainment industry.
