On December 21, Esther Yu Shuxin and Lin Yi were announced as the leads of a new modern drama, “Shh, the King is Hibernating”, which is set to start filming sometime in Q1 of 2024. This is a great early Christmas present to many fans as this was already a dream fan pairing since 2021.
Back in December 2021, Esther Yu Shuxin and Lin Yi had already collaborated on iQIYI’s variety show, “Let’s Go Skiing”. Before the show aired, many fans saw fancams and spoiler pictures of Esther Yu and Lin Yi filming for the show and their first thought was that this was a real life version of “Shh, the King is Hibernating” as the book is about a male ski instructor and a cute girl cartoonist.
When the show aired in January 2022, CP fans only grew in numbers after watching Esther Yu Shuxin and Lin Yi’s interactions.
