On February 11, Tencent Video announced that the historical romance TV series 怎敌她千娇百媚 (Les Belles) will premiere on February 13. The show stars Lin Yun and Fang Yilun and tells a story set in a fictional ancient world where love and duty collide.
The drama follows Luo Lingyu, a once-noble woman whose parents died and who now struggles with a fallen status. Determined to escape her difficult fate, she leaves with her younger sister to join her distant relatives in the Lu family. On the journey, a misunderstanding sparks conflict with Lu Yun—the third son of the Lu family. Later, despite their initial clash, Lu Yun becomes drawn to Luo Lingyu’s talent and charm, even though he misinterprets her true intentions.
As events unfold, a crisis known as the “流民事件” intensifies the tensions between the aristocrats and the common people. Lu Yun risks his safety to fight for fairness, while Luo Lingyu learns that a woman’s future should not depend solely on marriage. She establishes her own flower shop, earning the nickname “Flower Goddess,” and helps Lu Yun overcome many obstacles. Together, they slowly build a genuine connection—a slow-burning romance that many young women will find appealing.
The trailer hints at a twist: Luo Lingyu initially tries to use marriage as a way to climb the social ladder, but Lu Yun sees right through the act and finds himself both critical and captivated. Adapted from a popular web novel, the series has adjusted some character traits to better fit mainstream values. With a script by Wang Hong and direction by Huang Yingxiang, the drama aims to provide an average yet engaging experience, especially for female viewers. Amid recent media buzz around Lin Yun, 怎敌她千娇百媚 is set to catch the eye of many fans when it launches on Tencent Video.
