Character poster The Rise of Phoenixes Chen Kun
If the goal is to impress with aesthetics, then color me impressed. The newest posters for The Rise of Phoenixes 天盛长歌 are gorgeous, and the characterizations seem complex and interesting. I know it’s a different backstory altogether but the main protagonist reminds me of Mei Changsu. 


Chen Kun as Ning Yi, the 6th Prince. He is a man of extraordinary talent and courage. He hides his intelligence and ambition while treading every step with caution. At a young age, he has experienced firsthand how it feels be a casualty in the bloodless war within the palace walls and he has learned to greet his enemies with a smile.

Along the way, she proves her competence and pits wits against dangerous political rivals.
