It seems Tong Xinyao isn't bad after all!
Actually, she is an artist strongly recommended by Director Wang. Bei Lingfeng heard that she was very interested in the role of the third female lead "Shen Lvyi" in "Emperor's Favor." Although it's just a third female lead, the character's intensely passionate nature and pivotal role in the story make her, relatively speaking, a very fan-attracting character beyond the main protagonists!
So, when Bei Lingfeng previously discussed casting with Sister Lin, he specifically highlighted the role of "Shen Lvyi," and instructed Sister Lin to pay extra attention when selecting an actress for the part!
