Lyu Sitong (吕思瞳)

After starting his career with minor supporting roles in a handful of sweet romantic comedies, Lyu Sitong remained largely under the radar. That changed in 2026, when he starred as the gentle and long‑suffering Cheng Yichen in the hit BL drama Double Journey. His restrained, emotionally nuanced performance — perfectly contrasted with his co‑star Sun Zheng’s fiery temperament — catapulted him to overnight fame, making him one of the most talked‑about new faces of the year. Breakthrough Role Lyu’s breakout role is Cheng Yichen in the 2026 drama Double Journey, adapted from a classic BL novel. As a warm‑hearted high‑school top student forced to part from his lover, Cheng returns a decade later to find himself unknowingly working as his former love’s subordinate. Lyu masterfully conveys the character’s inner repression and quiet devotion, creating a gripping “soft vs. strong” dynamic with Sun Zheng’s role. His portrayal of this decade‑spanning, bittersweet romance won over audiences and established him as a rising star to watch. Public Perception Before Double Journey, Lyu Sitong had little public recognition in the industry. Today, he is widely seen as a promising young actor with stable growth potential, having been selected for the Wenrong Awards’ Young Actor Support Program in 2025. Off‑screen, Lyu has built a loyal following through his down‑to‑earth personality and authentic daily vlogs — he never forces a manufactured public image. Audiences appreciate his genuineness, and his natural chemistry with fans continues to strengthen his reputation as a relatable and hardworking newcomer.
