Recently, the entertainment world has been buzzing with rumors: Wang Churan and Zhang Linghe may be dating. On November 14, paparazzi account “Liu Xiaohua Entertainment” confirmed in a live broadcast that the two might be together, sparking heated discussion online. Many fans also recalled Wang Churan’s past rumored romance with Yang Yang.
As one of the standout beauties among post-95 actresses, Wang Churan has been in the spotlight since her debut in The General’s Lady. Later, she gained recognition for roles in Qing Ping Le and My Human Fireworks. During her collaboration with Yang Yang in My Human Fireworks in 2023, rumors circulated of Maldives trips, hotel visits, and shared items, fueling speculation — though reports suggest the relationship had ended.
This time, Wang Churan and Zhang Linghe are starring together in the Republican-era romance drama A Second Too Late, adapted from the novel If I Hadn’t Met You in That Second by Fei Wo Si Cun. Zhang Linghe plays Murong Qingyi, the son of a warlord, while Wang Churan portrays Ren Susu, the daughter of a pharmacist. Their on-screen chemistry, coupled with fan-shot set photos, has already sparked anticipation, with many praising their looks and compatibility.
Yet some viewers remain skeptical. Paparazzi reports lack concrete evidence, and much of their on-set closeness may simply be part of filming. In one leaked kissing scene, the actors went from a passionate moment to separating instantly, smooth almost like “AI,” raising doubts about the authenticity of the rumors.
It’s worth noting that Zhang Linghe was previously rumored to be involved with Bai Lu, yet the two never confirmed a relationship. The new rumor with Wang Churan may simply be overinterpretation by media and fans.
In the end, while the allure of a handsome leading man and beautiful leading lady is undeniable, it’s important to approach such stories with reason. Overemphasis on private lives can overshadow the work itself. A Second Too Late already shows great potential in set photos, and focusing on acting and storytelling will provide a better experience for viewers while giving the actors the space to concentrate on their craft.
