折月亮 (Zhé yuèliang) – starring a quadruple-L lead cast – is based on Zhu Yi's novel of the same title. In terms of readership popularity, this sits below The First Frost and Hidden Love respectively. All three are part of what fan-dubbed the "Nanwu Trilogy." They're connected by the same fictional universe, not by continuous storyline, so there are no sequel between the three.

Filming wrapped on November 12, 2025.
