The Chinese fantasy costume romance drama "Shu Juan Yi Meng" (Book of Dreams) has just ended with a successful finale, with the lead roles Liu Yuning and Li Yitong overcoming a turbulent romance to finally wed. But in real life, rumors have surfaced that Liu Yuning is dating the second female lead, Zhu Xudan?! An online user claiming to be a superfan of Zhu Xudan revealed that the two got together last year while filming "Book." In response, Liu Yuning and Zhu Xudan both stated in unison: "We are just good friends."
Weibo user “Gossip Sisters” exposed the alleged timeline of their relationship: they first met at the end of 2021; in 2022, during Zhu Xudan’s birthday livestream, Liu Yuning tipped enough to make the top of the gift ranking; in 2023, Zhu Xudan accidentally followed the official Weibo account of Liu Yuning’s studio; and in 2024, the two had close contact while filming “Shu Juan Yi Meng.”
Other netizens claimed to have seen the two returning to the hotel together after the drama wrapped shooting. The next morning, they were seen holding hands while buying breakfast, and Liu Yuning reportedly protectively held Zhu Xudan’s waist the whole time. However, there is no concrete evidence for any of these claims, and after “Gossip Sisters” posted, the account was quickly deleted.
On the morning of the 30th, the topic “Liu Yuning Zhu Xudan Dating Rumors” topped the Weibo trending searches. Nearly simultaneously, both parties responded to the rumors to clarify: At 9:28, Zhu Xudan posted, “We’re all good friends, please don’t spread rumors.” Three minutes later, Liu Yuning followed up: “All good friends. Don’t make a fuss.”
