Chinese drama actress Zhao Qing rose to fame overnight after starring alongside Yang Yang in ‘A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality.’ Having persevered for five years before finally catching the public’s eye, she was originally on track to become one of the leading young actresses. However, she was suddenly accused by Xu Kai’s ex-girlfriend, Xu Lisha, who claimed that Zhao Qing had been a mistress; Zhao Qing and Xu Kai were even photographed entering a hotel together. This revelation caused a massive online uproar, and Zhao Qing quickly became a public outcast. Following her breakout, Zhao Qing was slated to star as the female lead in the new drama ‘Jin Wu Bu Jin,’ but was replaced due to the scandal. Meanwhile, Xu Kai is currently awaiting to join the filming of his new drama ‘Ting Feng Ling;’ as long as the controversy passes, he can resume his career as usual. Netizens lamented that although Zhao Qing once had a promising future, it may now take a considerable amount of time and opportunity for her to regain her footing.
Zhao Qing began her career in 2021 as a Hanfu model and was signed by Yu Zheng. However, she entered showbiz at the young age of 20 and struggled with body management as well as lingering baby fat, so she often appeared puffy on screen. It was not until she took on ‘A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality,’ where the entire cast was required to lose weight, that she succeeded in slimming down. She was even dubbed the ‘most beautiful white moonlight’ and shot to fame overnight, with many saying that after losing weight she resembled Zhao Liying, heralding limitless prospects.
Yu Zheng strongly promoted Zhao Qing; she was originally set to play the female lead in a certain drama, but investors decided to downgrade her to the third female lead due to her low popularity. As a newcomer, Zhao Qing didn’t dare to speak up and could only quietly accept it. Now, after finally becoming popular with ‘A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality,’ she unexpectedly fell victim to a career-destroying exposé by Xu Kai’s ex-girlfriend—not only revealing Zhao Qing and Xu Kai’s past relationship, but also bluntly stating that their breakup was because Xu Kai was photographed with Zhao Qing at a hotel, shattering Zhao Qing’s innocent image.
Yu Zheng stated that there was absolutely no relationship between Xu Kai and Zhao Qing, and that the reason they went to the hotel was just to rehearse lines, something he was fully aware of. However, Yu Zheng had previously insisted that Wu Jinyan and Hong Yao were not dating, but the two not only got married in a flash but also rapidly became pregnant, so his explanations did little to quell the skepticism. Especially since, at the time, paparazzi caught Zhao Qing practically leaping into Xu Kai’s arms, with both appearing as intimate as lovers. Now, Zhao Qing has dropped from ‘most beautiful white moonlight’ to being labeled a mistress overnight, leaving many sighing at her fate.
