Yang Yang (杨洋) and Zhao Lusi (赵露思) were officially announced as the leads of wuxia romance drama, “Who Rules the World” (且试天下). This series is an adaptation of a popular novel of the same name by author, Qing Lingyue (倾泠月). It’s reported the novel has over 10 million readers.

Before the official announcement, Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi were already spotted filming for the series based on leaked photos. The official Weibo released the leads in their costumes for the drama.

The storyline focuses on the legend of a wuxia romance between the elegant and unparalleled “Feng Lanxi” and the unique beauty, “Bai Fengxi”. “Feng Lanxi” single handedly established the Mo Yu Qi and has gained recognition in Jianghu. He is a prince of the current dynasty, which is unknown to the people that love him. Due to some strange events, “Feng Lanxi” and “Bai Fengxi”, who has the same amount of popularity in Jiang Hu, get married and spend 10 years together. After 10 years together, their love blossoms from blood. After a huge war, “Feng Lanxi” finally recognizes his true feelings and releases his own cultivation to save “Bai Fengxi”.

This is the first time Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi have collaborated. It’s also the first time in 3-4 years since Yang Yang has filmed an ancient costume drama.
