Xu Kai Once Upon A Time, There Was A Spirit Blade Mountain
Xu Kai returns to costume dramas for his next project, and it is a live-action drama based on the Chinese xianxia novel There Was Once A Spirit Blade Mountain 从前有座灵剑山 by Guowang Bixia 国王陛下. The novel also came out on Tencent comics and was subsequently made into an anime titled Reikenzan: Hoshikuzu-tachi no Utage. 

I had never heard of it before, but the fact that Tencent is pushing this franchise must mean something and it’s come full circle now with the live-action drama adaptation. Fantasy wuxia seems to be a rite of passage for young stars, so I’m not at all surprised that Xu Kai would take on the role. He plays the hero Wang Lu, a young genius from the future who starts on a path of cultivation.
