Qixi Vibes & BTS Charm: Getting Cozy with Mo Li Ahead of Its Premiere

Qixi’s here and I’m low-key loving how Tencent is celebrating Mo Li—the upcoming period drama with Bai Lu and Cheng Lei. Instead of the usual puffery, they've dropped a few sweet themed stills and teasers. It's subtle, romantic, and feels real.

The drama just kicked off filming on May 31 and already has fans buzzing—over 800K reservations on Tencent Video before it even airs. Talk about expectations!

What really caught my eye were those Qixi posters—soft lighting, gentle expressions, and a hint that the chemistry between the leads is going to be one to watch.

From the earliest teaser, there’s this “married-but-enemies” vibe that feels fresh. Bai Lu looks more vulnerable than calculating. Meanwhile, Cheng Lei brings this simmer-under-the-surface intensity. It’s promising, especially if you're into slow-burn romance.

Oh, and fun tidbit—r/ChinaDrama fans are already speculating about the director, noting comparisons to stuff like Scarlet Heart or Love and Destiny. That kind of pedigree gives the teasers even more weight.

Why I’m actually excited:

• It’s not stuffed with marketing buzz—just mood and atmosphere.
• Bai Lu and Cheng Lei are both riding high, and their pairing already feels meaningful.
• Qixi teasers are charming, not cringe-cute. Feels thoughtful.

No release date yet. Filming just started, so post-production and approval could stretch into next year. If trends hold, we might see it mid-to-late 2026.

Anyway, wanted to share what’s out there for anyone else quietly hyped for this. No hyperbole. Just a couple of romantic sneak peeks that felt worth passing on.
