Chinese actress Zhao Lusi is reportedly making her official return to the entertainment industry, with new rumors suggesting she will headline the upcoming drama Yan San He—a project previously linked to Liu Yifei. The casting buzz has quickly sparked widespread discussion online.
During her recent hiatus, Zhao Lusi was said to be dealing with contractual issues involving her former agency. With the matter now reportedly resolved and a new management company secured, the actress has gradually resumed public activities, including charity and fashion events. However, she has yet to officially begin filming a new drama—until now.
Industry chatter claims that Yan San He, once rumored to star Liu Yifei, will instead feature Zhao Lusi in the leading role. According to circulating reports, negotiations with the male lead had not been finalized, which allegedly prevented further collaboration with Liu Yifei. Meanwhile, popular actor and singer Liu Yuning is rumored to join the project as either the male lead or second male lead.
If confirmed, the drama would mark the third collaboration between Zhao Lusi and Liu Yuning, a pairing that has previously garnered strong fan support.
Earlier this year, Zhao Lusi hinted during a livestream with fans that she would begin filming a new project in spring, adding that the genre would center around suspense. Notably, the female protagonist of Yan San He is described as a mysterious young woman who traverses between the realms of the living and the dead, helping spirits resolve their lingering attachments—aligning closely with the suspense theme she mentioned.
Despite the mounting speculation, neither Zhao Lusi nor Liu Yifei has publicly responded to the casting rumors.
As fans await official confirmation, Zhao Lusi’s potential return through Yan San He has already reignited anticipation for her next chapter—while simultaneously fueling debate over one of the year’s most talked-about casting changes.
