Actress Peng Xiaoran is making headlines for her unwavering professionalism during the filming of historical romance drama Phoenix Terrace, co-starring Ren Jialun.
In a recent emotional scene, Peng’s character, the heroine Shang Shang, confronts intense inner turmoil and heartbreak. While tears streamed down her face, observant fans noticed a clear object slipping from the corner of her eye—identified as a dislodged contact lens.
What captivated viewers even more than the detail itself was Peng’s response: she did not break character or halt filming. Instead, she continued the scene seamlessly, maintaining the full emotional weight of the performance.
In response to the praise online, Peng humbly remarked, “I will keep acting as long as the director doesn’t yell ‘cut’.” Her simple yet powerful reply struck a chord with fans and industry insiders alike, highlighting her discipline and respect for the craft.
Set against a backdrop of political intrigue and romantic tragedy, Phoenix Terrace follows the complex love story between Emperor Xiao Huan (played by Ren Jialun) and his empress amid court turmoil. The drama quickly gained traction, aided by Peng’s visual appeal and performance reminiscent of her breakout role in Goodbye My Princess.
With emotional intensity, high production value, and now a viral behind-the-scenes moment, Phoenix Terrace is proving to be one of the most talked-about period dramas this season. And Peng Xiaoran’s lens-slip moment? A memorable symbol of a true actor’s dedication.
