Chinese actress Chen Duling is drawing attention for her remarkably youthful appearance in a new promotional clip with Zhou Yiran for Ashes to Crown. The video follows a nostalgic school-romance concept. The two characters reunite after a long separation and look back on memories from their student years.
While Zhou Yiran impressed viewers with his classic romance-drama appeal, Chen Duling became the main topic of discussion. Although she is 32, fans said she looked convincing as a 16- to 18-year-old school beauty. Her soft makeup, delicate features and calm expression created what viewers described as a “white moonlight” atmosphere—a phrase often used for an unforgettable first love.
Chen Duling’s studio also released a series of dreamy photos that further highlighted her fresh and elegant image. Netizens praised the pairing, writing:
- “I did not expect them to match this well.”
- “Chen Duling began her career with a youth film, so this concept suits her perfectly.”
- “They should make another school romance together.”
Fans are now hoping Chen Duling and Zhou Yiran will reunite in a modern youth drama. Both actors have already made strong impressions in the genre: Chen Duling starred in The Left Ear, while Zhou Yiran gained popularity through When I Fly Towards You.
Chen Duling later appeared in productions including Another Me, Love in Flames of War and Till the End of the Moon. Her villainous role in Till the End of the Moon significantly raised her profile. Her 2025 drama The Glory was also described as one of the year’s surprise hits. She is currently appearing in Ashes to Crown, which reportedly attracted attention after reaching No. 1 on Netflix Vietnam.
