Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui sent the internet into a frenzy after their joint appearance at the Tencent Video Starlight Awards on December 21. From the red carpet to the main stage, the duo remained inseparable, with affectionate gestures and knowing glances that fueled speculation of an off-screen romance.
“They walked like a couple, acted like a couple—are they actually a couple?” a viral fan comment read.
The buzz reached a peak when actress Song Zu Er playfully “shipped” the pair on stage. By switching her position, she ensured that Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui stood side by side—a small gesture that triggered loud cheers from the audience.
Often dubbed one of the most adored drama couples in China, the two rose to fame after starring in Blossom, a prime-time fantasy drama that aired on Zhejiang TV. Since the show’s success, the duo has continued to appear together at major events, entertainment shows, and promotional gigs, all while maintaining an undeniable chemistry that fans can’t ignore.
Behind-the-scenes clips only added fuel to the fire. From shared laughter to casual flirting on set, their closeness was evident. In a notable moment on a variety show, Meng Ziyi blurted out, “I like you,” sending Li Yunrui into a bashful frenzy, ears flushed red.
A young actor, who played a supporting role in Blossom, sparked further gossip when he casually revealed that Dou Zhao and Song Mo—Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui’s characters—were “real.” When questioned, he responded innocently, “Kids don’t lie.”
In November 2024, the duo was spotted sharing a ride after filming for Hi6. More recently, they were both seen on the variety show Keep Running, where Li Yunrui’s gentlemanly actions—adjusting Meng Ziyi’s seat, offering her a hand warmer, picking up her scarf—did not go unnoticed. His tender gaze only fueled the “real couple” theory.
Fans also point to their visual compatibility. Standing at 170cm, Meng Ziyi had once described her ideal man as “about 12 cm taller than me, funny, and always smiling”—a description that fits the 182cm-tall Li Yunrui almost perfectly.
Despite the whirlwind of rumors, both actors have remained silent. Still, their continued appearances together—and the undeniable sparks—have left fans hoping for a real-life romance confirmation.
For now, Blossom may have ended, but the story between Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui seems far from over.
