Li Yunrui and Meng Ziyi, the beloved on-screen couple from Blossom, ignited a social media frenzy after appearing together at the 2025 Tencent Video Starlight Awards, prompting fans to joke that “all of C-Biz is pushing this ship.” The duo’s chemistry was so noticeable that reactions from fellow celebrities only fueled speculation and excitement around the pairing, affectionately nicknamed “Yun Qian Meng Rao.”

It has been a full year since Blossom aired, yet the popularity of Li Yunrui and Meng Ziyi as a couple shows no sign of fading. Throughout the Starlight Awards 2025, keywords related to the two continuously competed for top spots on Weibo’s trending charts, proving their enduring appeal.

During the main ceremony, Li Yunrui and Meng Ziyi were seated next to each other, effortlessly dispelling earlier rumors of tension dating back to the filming of Tigers Sniff the Rose. The two were seen laughing and chatting nonstop, leaving viewers at home wondering, “What on earth are they talking about that’s so funny?”

A memorable moment occurred when Meng Ziyi, while walking up to receive her award, tripped on her long gown and fell, hitting her knee on the stairs. Though clearly embarrassed, her graceful smile as she recovered in her flowing dress created a breathtaking scene that netizens later compared to Jennifer Lawrence’s iconic “million-dollar fall.” The incident even sparked a humorous hot search suggesting, “Next year, Li Yunrui should just carry Meng Ziyi,” teasing the fact that she has stumbled twice while walking on stage alongside him.

Back at their seats, eagle-eyed netizens noticed Meng Ziyi casually handing her trophy to Li Yunrui, who naturally held it for her as if it were second nature. This small but intimate gesture sent the hashtag “Meng Ziyi casually gives her trophy to Li Yunrui” soaring to No. 4 on Weibo’s trending searches.

The excitement was not limited to fans at home. Many Chinese celebrities at the event appeared equally amused by the couple’s undeniable “OTP” vibes. Netizens couldn’t stop laughing at the knowing looks exchanged by Zhou Ye, Chen Xingxu, Ding Yuxi, and Ju Jingyi as they watched Li Yunrui and Meng Ziyi return to their seats together.

Even before the red carpet began, the pair had already drawn attention thanks to another hot search titled “Meng Ziyi introduces Li Yunrui,” which emerged after they were spotted chatting backstage with singer Wang Sulong. His playful reminder to Meng Ziyi to “be a bit careful on the livestream” sent shippers into overdrive.

On stage, while receiving the “VIP Star of the Year” award, Song Zuer realized she was standing between Li Yunrui and Meng Ziyi and suggested switching positions so the two could stand together. After moving, she covered her mouth and laughed with Ding Yuxi, her expression resembling that of a fan who had just successfully “pushed the ship.”

Beyond couple-related buzz, another trending keyword “Li Yunrui waited a long time and finally made it” also ranked in the top 10 searches on the evening of December 21. The phrase reflected public admiration for his steady career journey, from a talent show contestant to sitting in the third row at major events, and now earning a coveted front-row seat symbolizing his rising status and hard-earned recognition in the industry.
