At least, according to DramaWiki, the upcoming Jin Yong Wuxia Universe anthology series will include a story about the Nine Yin Manual, and Meng Ziyi is going to play Mei Chaofeng, my beloved! I'm so excited!
I should really watch the film that came out about her and her backstory a year or two ago. I'm not sure if it got EN subs, but I will watch it without them if necessary.
In the meantime, here is a cool Mei Chaofeng cosplay (more shots here). :)
Edit: it just occurred to me that, having played Mu Nianci in the 2017 Legend of the Condor Heroes, Meng Ziyi has gone from 'innocent maiden taken advantage of by rake' to 'middle-aged woman who gave up her youth to the pursuit of unorthodox arts', to which I have two duelling responses:
- come on dudes, she's 26!
- it comes to us all if we're lucky, and I want to see Meng Ziyi doing that.
