On July 27, the historical xianxia drama A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (凡人修仙传) began airing, featuring actress Rong Zixi (荣梓希), born after 1995, in the role of Xin Ruyin (辛如音). As the wife of Qi Yunxiao (齐云霄), Xin Ruyin is portrayed as an exceptionally intelligent character skilled in the art of formation techniques. She assists Han Li (韩立) in restoring an ancient teleportation array and gifts him valuable resources, such as Cloudsky Notes (云霄心得), becoming a vital figure in his journey.
Rong Zixi (荣梓希), born on July 2, 1995, in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, majoring in acting. From a young age, she studied ballet, classical Chinese dance, and ethnic folk dance. In October 2012, while still in her senior year of high school, she participated in the “Dream Heroine” audition campaign co-hosted by Kangnai Group and Travel Channel and won first place in the Lanzhou division. In December, she received the “Most Popular Award” with 26,283 public votes.
In 2013, she was accepted into the performance department of the Central Academy of Drama, officially starting her acting journey. Rong Zixi (荣梓希) has since appeared in several notable productions, including her memorable role as Mu You (木柚) in Ever Night (将夜), as well as Yan Gu (艳骨), Go! Goal! Fighting! (出线了，初恋), A Distant Home (远方的家), My Best Friend’s Story (流金岁月), and Don’t Believe in Tears in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou: Four Seasons of Muge (北上广不相信眼泪之四季沐歌). Her composed temperament and elegant screen presence have consistently left a strong impression on audiences.
Earlier this year, she made a special appearance in the fantasy costume drama A Thousand Blossoms Bloom in One Lifetime (千朵桃花一世开), which aired on January 2. Now, in A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (凡人修仙传), her portrayal of the calm yet intelligent Xin Ruyin (辛如音) further cements her reputation as a rising actress worth watching.
