Matching Zhang’s star power is Overdo’s leading lady, Wang Churan. This 27-year-old actress shot to fame with Fireworks of My Heart (2023) and Are You the One (2024). Born in Shanghai, Wang burst onto the scene in the period drama Oh! My General (2017) and hasn’t slowed down since. 

Since stepping into the spotlight, Wang’s fanbase has grown massively. She’s got over 1.6 million devotees on Little Red Book, and the numbers just keep climbing. Curious to know more about Wang? You’ll have to keep scrolling.

Her first drama was an instant hit

Oh! My General, starring Ma Sichun and Peter Sheng, was Wang’s debut drama. It was well received and quickly drew viewers’ attention. Just a day after its airing, the drama had already racked up 100 million online views. 

The drama’s widespread popularity had helped Wang leave a lasting impression among audiences, cementing her status as a rising C-drama actress. 

She’s an Aquarius

Born on 21 January 1999, the Gen Z actress is an Aquarius. And if horoscope readings are telling of a person’s personality, Wang is likely to be highly independent and intellectual. Aquarians are believed to be unshakeable, marching to the beat of their own drums. We know we’ll all be keeping a lookout for her! 

She sings too

Wang may be largely known as an actress, but she’s also sung at various shows, including Hunan TV’s 2026 New Year countdown. Her online fans have praised her for her lovely vocals, so we won’t be surprised if a record deal is next on her list.

Dating rumours swirled between her and this heartthrob

In 2023, Wang starred opposite Yang Yang in Fireworks of My Heart, in which they played forbidden childhood sweethearts. Offscreen, rumour mills went wild after the pair were spotted vacationing together and sharing a hotel, but both stars kept mum, adding fuel to the gossip fire. 

She’s well-loved by fashion and beauty brands

The Overdo leading lady’s popularity has also caught the attention of Chinese and international brands, which have reached out to her for partnerships over the years. Among the notable names are Dior, Gucci, MAOGEPING beauty, and Manito. 

In March 2026, Wang was invited by Dior to attend the luxury house’s Autumn/Winter 2026-2027 show. The reel posted on Dior’s Instagram account, featuring Wang’s arrival at the fashion show, has been watched a whopping 6.7 million times—talk about superstar power!
