Joseph Zeng and Ju Jing Yi’s Veil of Shadows grabs 1 million reservations as C-drama waits for premiere
Michelle Topham 
As the Chinese drama world continues to push out drama after drama featuring massively talented and quite gorgeous actors, Veil of Shadows is one of those that is heading towards us next. (Praise God, make it be soon!)
One that is also likely to be very successful, as Joseph Zheng and Ju Jing Yi‘s new wuxia drama Veil of Shadows has just exceeded 1 million reservations with no premiere date yet announced.
The Chinese drama, which co-stars Chen Du Ling, Tian Jia Rui and Yan An is one of those dramas that features a superb cast, right down to its smallest guest role, and is also stacked with actors who are some of the prettiest faces in the C-drama world right now.

Veil of Shadows exceeding 1 million reservations was celebrated on YOUKU’s Weibo account today with the release of a vibrant new poster, and the comment:
Congratulations on Veil of Shadows surpassing 1 million pre-registrations#!
Ripples fold into countless layers, mysterious wonders emerge from the waves.
More excitement awaits you on YOUKU—stay tuned for the grand premiere! #月鳞绮纪#
The upcoming C-drama is directed by Edward Guo (Cry Me a Sad River and the End of Endless Love).
Its plot looks like this:
Lu Wu Yi (played by Ju Jing Yi), the youngest nine-tailed fox of the organization Wu Xiang Yue, is on a mission to find the great demon Xiao Wei.
Disguised as a priest, she enters Wei Manor in Luo’an and discovers that others are also hunting Xiao Wei.
Among them are Wu Shi Guang (Joseph Zeng), a vengeful demon; Wu Wang Yan (Chen Du Ling), her cunning nine-tailed fox sister; and Ji Ling (Tian Jia Rui), an innocent-looking priest with a mysterious past.
All of them seek the Dragon Deity’s power, but their motives vary: some want to protect, others to kill. As they navigate battles, friendships, and romance, they face obstacles and make sacrifices to protect peace and change their fates.
For me, while the plot sounds interesting, I’m ‘all in’ for not only lead actress Ju Jing Yi (loved her in In Blossom) and Yan An (big fan of his performance in Fangs of Fortune, although the drama itself turned out to be disappointing), but also for guest stars Fan Shi Qi, Wang Duo and Chang Hua Sen.
Veil of Shadows is also a reunion of actors Chen Du Ling, Yan An and Tian Jia Rui from Fangs of Fortune – another C-drama with an exceptionally good cast — so this one should be even more interesting, eh?
We’ll keep you posted here on Baozi Buns as Veil of Shadows heads towards its likely soon premiere date. Fingers crossed we won’t have to wait too long.
