Casting Drama “A Beautiful Destiny” Confirmed: Ding Yuxi and Li Landi to Lead Amid Role Hierarchy Debate

 The upcoming TV series A Beautiful Destiny is making headlines as reports confirm #DingYuxi and #LiLandi as the official leads — but not without controversy surrounding their role hierarchy. 🎬

According to industry insiders, while both actors are confirmed for the project, the ranking of their roles remains a heated topic. Sources indicate that production is leaning toward making Ding Yuxi the primary lead, with Li Landi’s role categorized as a “special guest”, even appearing after the second male lead in the lineup.

Insiders reveal that New Classics Media, the production company behind the series, has been in talks with Ding Yuxi since 2022, adjusting the drama’s title and script to accommodate his involvement. The shooting schedule reportedly prioritizes the male lead’s scenes, while Li Landi’s scenes are planned as additional sequences to be filmed later.

However, Li Landi’s team has expressed resistance to accepting a secondary billing. With her strong track record in successful dramas like The Starry Love (which surpassed the 10,000 heat index on iQiyi) and All The Way To The Sun (which topped the CVB ratings), her management and fanbase are standing firm — emphasizing that she should only take on leading roles.

Negotiations between both camps are said to focus on the possibility of a “joint credit + dual LOGO” arrangement, a rare compromise in the industry. Yet, investors are pressuring for progress, as the project faces a copyright deadline on December 31, 2025.

Despite the ongoing dispute, excitement continues to build around A Beautiful Destiny, especially given the potential chemistry between Ding Yuxi and Li Landi — two of the most popular young stars in the current Chinese drama landscape.

✨ Whether it becomes a story of collaboration or conflict behind the scenes, one thing is certain — A Beautiful Destiny is already living up to its name in sparking conversation.
