Zhang Linghe (张凌赫)

Zhang Linghe (张凌赫) is a Chinese actor born in Wuxi, Jiangsu December 30, 1997. He was admitted to Nanjing Normal University in 2016. In addition to joining the Aerospace Agency, due to his interest in physics, he majored in Electrical Engineer in the School of Electrical and Automation Engineering. A chance meeting and discussion with an agent during this time lead him to discover a significant interest in acting, which steered him to pursue entering the show business circle. He debuted as an actor in the 2020 period drama series, 'Maiden Holmes'. On January 20, 2021, he won the "New Force of the Year" award at the 5th Jinguduo Network Film and Television Festival.

A former engineering student turned top-tier "visual genius," Zhang Linghe quickly dominated the Chinese entertainment industry through his towering 190cm frame, aristocratic looks, and an impressive streak of hit historical costume dramas.

Breakthrough Role

Zhang achieved his major breakout in the 2022 megahit fantasy series **Love Between Fairy and Devil** (*苍兰诀*). His heartbreaking portrayal of the gentle, duty-bound, and deeply affectionate Lord Changheng (长珩仙君) captured millions of viewers' hearts and propelled him to overnight stardom.

Public Perception

Currently positioned as one of the leading male actors of the "post-95 generation," he is widely recognized for his striking screen presence and steady growth in high-profile projects like **Story of Kunning Palace** (*宁安如梦*) and **Pursuit of Jade** (*逐玉*). While he commands a massive, loyal fanbase, his broader public image remains somewhat polarized, balancing deep admiration for his disciplined self-improvement and academic background against occasional internet debates surrounding his off-screen remarks.
