Two Most Anticipated Chinese Drama Couples in 2026, Agree or Not? Li Yitong & Chen Xingxu - mydramalist

Kapanlagi.com - The year 2026 is said to be filled with major drama projects, including two titles that are currently being widely discussed in the C-drama fan community. Although neither has officially announced the cast, rumors about the potential lead couples starring in this drama have already caused a stir among the public.

The following two couples are the most anticipated, even though their status is still a rumor and has not been confirmed by the production team or official platforms.

1. Ao Ruipeng & Wang Churan — Thriving After the Moon Falls (Rumor)

Ao Ruipeng and Wang Churan - mydramalist

Status: Cast not yet confirmed

The drama Thriving After the Moon Falls is an adaptation of the popular novel I Can’t Possibly Take Pity on a Demon. This story highlights the tragic tale between Liu Shuang and Yan Chao Sheng, two characters separated by misunderstandings and a dark fate. Liu Shuang is said to be reincarnated 700 years into the past and must confront a difficult past once again.

Why is the Rumor About This Couple Highly Anticipated?

Character compatibility from the novel

The public believes Ao Ruipeng is suitable to portray the dark, intense, and emotional Yan Chao Sheng. However, this casting has not yet received official confirmation.

Wang Churan is considered suitable to play Liu Shuang

This rumor has developed because Wang Churan is known for her elegant and emotional acting style. However, there has been no cast announcement from the production house to date.

Fantasy + tragic romance genre

Even without confirmed actors, the genre of this drama has already led fans to place high expectations.

Popularity of both actors

The large fanbase of Ao Ruipeng and Wang Churan has also contributed to the casting rumors being widely discussed.

2. Li Yitong & Chen Xingxu — Jin Zhi (Rumor)

Status: Cast not yet confirmed (still a fandom rumor)

Jin Zhi is a palace-themed drama that highlights the journey of Chen Que'er, a woman from a low background who disguises herself as a noble princess and gets caught up in the political intrigue of the capital, Dongjing.

Why is this Couple Rumor in the Spotlight?

Li Yitong is rumored to be suitable as Chen Que'er

She is known for her ability to portray intelligent, strategic, and strong female characters. However, the production team has not released a cast announcement.

Chen Xingxu is mentioned as a strong candidate for the male lead

This actor is famous for his roles in costume dramas, so the rumor of his involvement with Li Yitong adds to the excitement.

Plot of secret identity and palace intrigue

Even without an official cast, stories like Jin Zhi indeed have a fanatical audience base.

Netizen speculation vs reality

The rumor about this couple initially developed on community and fandom platforms, not from the official studio. So its status remains mere fan speculation.

3. Hoping to Become Real

Ao Ruipeng & Wang Churan in Thriving After the Moon Falls, as well as Li Yitong & Chen Xingxu in Jin Zhi, are currently hot topics among C-drama fans. However, it is very important to emphasize that all information related to the casting choices is still rumor and has not been confirmed by the production house, platform, or creative team.

If either of these couples is officially announced in 2026, both have great potential to become a major attraction in the world of Chinese drama.
