🐰: thanks to everyone’s help today, we successfully pulled off a little birthday surprise for jingyi ✌️ here’s hoping every wish our princess made comes true~ 🎂🎂
over this period, watching the drama together with everyone made me feel as though i had returned to the height of summer when we filmed it last year. looking back on chu zhao’s rise and fall across two lifetimes, what moved me most was the genuine struggle and tenderness hidden beneath her resilient exterior. she came back carrying the pain of her entire family’s massacre in her previous life, with more than enough reason to drown herself in hatred, but she never allowed it to blind her completely. she understood how precious this second chance was, so she bided her time, gathering her strength and quietly waiting for the right moment. perhaps at the moment she shielded the imperial grandson as blades rained down, she did not yet realise that a sense of duty to her country and its people—beyond personal vengeance—had already taken root in her heart… it wasn’t until the battle at wangcheng, when she witnessed with her own eyes the cruelty of war and the sacrifice of lives, did she finally understand the meaning of her parents’ lifelong convictions. in doing so, she made peace with the past and completed her own journey of self-growth.
thank you to every little bell for your companionship and support. from watching the drama as it aired to the endless stream of fan creations inspired by <ashes to crown>, i’ve carefully treasured every comment, every message, every bit of heartfelt effort. it is your overflowing affection that has given this story such a vibrant and enduring warmth.
i would like to thank director yang long for all his guidance and support throughout our two collaborations, and for consistently supporting me in shaping two girls so different from my own personality. i’d also like to thank youku and producer yan bei for trusting me with chu zhao in the first place, and for always showing enormous patience and understanding toward the imperfections in my performance. my thanks also go to my co-stars in <ashes to crown>. throughout the filming and broadcast period, they made me feel that we were standing together as one team. thank you as well to all the creative team and crew, both in front of and behind the camera. from the early days of production to a smooth wrap, everyone worked together to refine every detail. together, we shaped chu zhao—a character who isn’t entirely clear-cut, marked by rough edges and flaws—who, through every choice and tumble, was gradually settled and refined until she became a warm yet resilient piece of jade. getting to portray a woman who grows through hardship, who holds compassion for the world while staying true to herself, has been an incredibly rare and precious experience for me.
every challenge can be overcome, one day at a time. keep moving forward—the road ahead will naturally become clear.

dudu’s farewell message to chu zhao:
