Zhao Lusi Silenced—and Then Silenced Herself? What Really Happened

Zhao Lusi, beloved star of Chinese dramas like Hidden Love and Almost Lover, has rocked fans again—with a silence so loud it speaks volumes.

First, shocking allegations: she says her agency locked her in a hotel while she was seriously ill, refused her medical care, and even called in a “master” to perform an exorcism instead of a doctor.

Then the blows kept coming: Zhao accused her agency of withdrawing over 2 million yuan from her personal studio account without her permission, manipulating financial documents, and threatening to blacklist her if she spoke out.

So what did she do? She quietly deleted her Weibo account. Just like that. No drama, just silence. Many interpret this as the aftermath of a smear campaign—one possibly orchestrated by rivals in the industry.

Despite all that, Zhao isn’t broken. Fans rallied with #JusticeForZhaoLusi, and insiders say she’s started getting better offers and support from directors—and she’s standing on her own terms now. In recent live streams, she’s pushed back at trolls and said things like: “I want to ruin your day instead.”

There’s also buzz about her upcoming drama Love’s Ambition with William Chan—it’s set to stream on WeTV and YOUKU, and fans are already hooked by the teaser.

So here’s the real question: was Zhao Lusi silenced—or did she silence everything around her to finally be heard?
