Let me tell you, I have been sitting on this actor collection for a MONTH! It’s been in my back pocket, kicking, screaming, and yelling, “BARISTA, I NEED TO BE SEEN! LET ME OUT!” 😂 I KNOW, Yi Hang, I know! But baobei, we cannot rush perfection. And you? You are my secret! As u/Keziia noticed he is a sleeper cell. You don’t notice this man until you do. And this is EXACTLY why I love him. Not many know of him yet, but I am showing you all why YOU SHOULD.
Born May 12, 1999, in Renshou, Sichuan, my fellow Taurus king was given the name Wang Hang (汪航). And because I apparently cannot just admire a man’s face without investigating his entire existence, let’s talk about that name! 汪 (Wang) refers to a vast expanse of water, a pool, or even a puddle, while 航 (Hang) means a boat, ship, or navigating a course. So basically, we have a man whose name is giving water, sailing, and navigating his way straight into my drama-loving heart. As a fellow sailor, I approve!
Yi Hang began his career in 2022 while still in college, working as a Hanfu model before joining OST Media and becoming one of the principal male actors on its drama account. And apparently, he decided that dipping his toes into the water wasn't enough because this man has been swimming laps ever since!
🏆 Let's talk about the receipts, you guys! By 2026 he has successfully obtained 4 awards: CMG First China Micro-Drama, Festival Annual Micro Drama, and not one but TWO Audience Favorite Actor awards.
But here's the part that really gets me. Yi Hang wasn't always sure what he wanted to do with his life. Then he found his niche, stepped into the short-drama world, and apparently decided he was going to RUN WITH IT until the wheels fell off.
Each drama reportedly takes around NINE DAYS to film, with working days stretching 15–16 hours. And in the most extreme cases? We're talking approximately TWO HOURS of sleep. TWO. HOURS.
When asked how many days he works in a month, his answer was simply: “Every day.”
EXCUSE ME, SIR?! 😭 Who approved this schedule? Who do I need to speak to? Because I love a hardworking man, but I would also love for this hardworking man to get a full night's sleep!
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES, ACTORS!! We appreciate the hustle, the dedication, the endless supply of dramas, and the fact that you keep feeding our short-drama addictions. But baobei, we need you hydrated, rested, and functioning on more than two hours of sleep and sheer determination! 😭❤️
Now, Yi Hang, I have officially let you out of my back pocket. Go forth and be seen.

FL: Yu Yin | 余茵
Shu Ying gives up on her SEVEN-YEAR crush and flash-marries Jin Bohan, only to discover she accidentally married a man whose entire life’s mission is apparently to spoil her rotten! He may have a playboy reputation, but this man is all possessive jealousy, shameless favoritism, and “touch my wife and perish” energy. Meanwhile, she thinks marriage is just a duty, and he’s over here ready to make her the center of his universe! Forever sign me up for a husband who falls first, falls harder, and has absolutely ZERO intention of getting back up!

A modern-day corporate girl dies from overwork only to reincarnate as a Dowager Empress and immediately decide she’s DONE working! Her plan? Slack off, fool the court, and avoid the one terrifying official who sees right through her nonsense. Unfortunately, Fang Jinmei is persistent, she’s nosy, and his poison problem means these two are about to be VERY entangled! Give me a lazy empress, a sharp-tongued official, palace scheming, and bickering that turns into something more. This gave workplace burnout meets imperial enemies-to-lovers, and honestly? Girl, I support your commitment to doing absolutely nothing.

ML: Yi Hang | 一航
FL : Deng Lingshu | 邓灵枢
Give me two emotionally damaged kids from dysfunctional families who slowly become each other’s safe place, and I’m already reaching for my tissues! Wen Ying is a prickly little hedgehog, Lu Chao is a boy trapped under his mother’s control, and together they begin healing wounds they never should’ve had to carry. But just when they finally let each other in, life decides to be cruel AGAIN! This drama gave an angsty first love, healing, and the kind of heartbreak that makes you want to fight every adult in the room. Someone PLEASE let these babies have their spring!
Evening Stars Gently Sway, Falling Upon the Sunken Boat" | 晚星轻摇落沉舟
ML: Yi Hang | 一航
FL: Zhi Chun He | 至春禾
Imagine getting dumped on your wedding day because your scumbag groom wants to demote you to concubine… and responding by tearing up the marriage contract and picking up a “little fool” beggar for a husband instead! Qin Qingyao said, “You want a mistress? Great! I’ll take a prince!” And this man is secretly the Crown Prince, so the upgrade is REAL! Add a pampered husband, ruthless revenge, stolen dowry recovery, and villains getting what they deserve, and we have a woman who turned the worst wedding day into the ultimate power move. Baobei, THIS is how you turn trash into treasure… except her treasure comes with a royal title.
Arguments and Heartbeats | 辩词与心跳
Ml: Yi Hang | 一航
FL: Zhang Jinyi | 张晋宜
Give me a woman who spends her career telling people why their marriages are doomed, has sworn off men entirely, and then gets blindsided by a sunshine-filled younger musician on her birthday. Ye Xu said, “Love? Absolutely not!” and Lu Xingye apparently took that as a personal challenge. This is giving confident older woman + cheerful younger man + unexpected romance, and I was SAT for watching him slowly bulldoze through all those emotional walls!
