Angelababy and Song Weilong’s historical drama Everlasting Longing (相思令) made its “surprise” premiere on January 20, 2025, on Tencent WeTV. While there was no flashy announcement, fans were just happy to finally see the drama air. This marks Angelababy’s return to the screen after nearly two years since her last major project.
The actress faced significant backlash in China after attending Lisa’s Crazy Horse cabaret show in Paris in September 2023, with those questioning her image and suitability as a celebrity role model. Following the controversy, Angelababy’s activities were notably halted, and her popularity took a hit. After a period of being “frozen” in the industry, fans hope this drama can signal a strong comeback for the 35-year-old actress.
Based on the popular novel The Stolen Bride by Xi Juan, Everlasting Longing follows Jun Qi Luo, a female business prodigy leading a double life as Jun Fei Fan, the illegitimate son of her family. Taken to Beixuan at the age of 20, she endures betrayal, mistreatment, and espionage accusations. Upon her escape, she learns her family’s fortune has been stolen, compelling her to rebuild the family business while safeguarding her loved ones.
Song Weilong, known for Find Yourself and Go Ahead, stars as Xuan Lie, a rival leader who abducts Jun Qi Luo. Their battle of wits evolves into a complex relationship marked by intense emotions. Directed by Mai Guanzhi, the drama’s star-studded cast also includes Ren Hao, Bai Bingke, Yao Chi, and Wang Yiting.
