Love’s Ambition seems to be an intense romance-slash-family drama in the making and is based on the Chinese web novel Da Qiao Xiao Qiao by Zhang Yue Ran.
It tells the story of a popular anchor named Xu Yan (Zhao Lusi) who comes from a small town and encounters the urban elite Shen Hao Ming (William Chan) when she arrives in the city. They engage in a ruthless game of love and enter into marriage as they conceal their true selves. They become a couple envied by all, but little do the people know that Xu Yan’s glamorous image and her carefully curated background are all under Shen Hao Ming’s control.

After conflicts arise, Xu Yan breaks free from Shen Hao Ming’s grasp, and they get divorced. However, Shen Hao Ming realises that he has genuinely fallen in love and becomes determined to win her back. Will the two finally break down their walls and get their happily ever after? We’ll have to wait and see.
Singer, dancer, and actor William Chan is Zhao Lusi’s new co-star in this show. Despite the real-life age gap — Lusi is 25 while William is 38! —, fans seem to be impressed already by their chemistry in the behind-the-scenes videos circulating online. Even the streaming platform WeTV seems to be fangirling over the two as you’ll see in this clip below.
As of writing, no official teaser with English subtitles has been released. However, you can get your first look at the series through Weibo.
Aside from the two stars, other cast members include Wan Peng (My Girlfriend Is An Alien), Tang Xiao Tian (Put Your Head On My Shoulder), Guan Zi Jing, and Zhong Ya Ting.
Chen Chang is the director of this series and is also known for taking the helm of the romance dramas As Beautiful as You and Nothing but You.
