AI summary

Summary of article:

Liu Xiaobei played the domineering general Qi Zhongkai in “The Golden Hairpin”, the exact opposite of the gentle academic hero in “A Sunny Day”. For her delicate acting skills, she was praised by netizens as the most embarrassing character in the drama.

The period drama “Marrying the Golden Hairpin” starring Tian Ziwei and Yan Yu is currently airing. Not only is the romance between the male and female protagonists alternating with each other interesting, but the male star playing “Qi Zhongkai” in the drama has also attracted a lot of discussion. Many eagle-eyed drama fans discovered that the domineering general with silver armor and majestic eyes in the play is actually the gentle academic “Sun Yuanzhu” who made countless audiences cry in the hit urban drama “Early Spring Sunny” some time ago.

Liu Xiaobei, who plays “Qi Zhongkai”, is 28 years old, 186 centimeters tall, and has three-dimensional facial features. In the popular “Early Spring” broadcast in August, he put on glasses to play the gentle and considerate “Sun Yuanzhu”, who selflessly protected the heroine Shang Zitao. In the end, the high-pressure family and psychological difficulties led to his tragic end, and he became “difficult” in the hearts of the audience.

Unexpectedly, after shedding tears for Sun Yuanzhu, the audience learned that Liu Xiaobei will bring a subversive image in the recent “The Golden Hairpin”.

Pingxi Hou’s second son, “Qi Zhongkai”, whom he plays, is a young general with a delicate mind and a strong aura as soon as he appears. In the play, he saw the true identity of the heroine Tian Ziwei at the beginning, and because of his deep love for her, he was willing to quietly become her strongest support behind the scenes. General Qi’s affectionate and sweet behavior in the drama, where he wanted to wipe the heroine’s tears but restrained himself and even changed her title awkwardly, quickly won him a lot of fans.

From the gentle and gloomy young man in a modern city to the decisive and principled young man from an aristocratic family in a costume drama, Liu Xiaobei has been praised by a large number of netizens as the ideal “drama face” for his completely different temperament and excellent acting skills. The outside world is generally optimistic about his high plasticity in handling different roles, which has helped his popularity increase in the autumn of 2026. His future acting career is full of promise.
