While it will be an eon before we actually get to see the results of the four months of work just completed for Chinese drama The Road to Splendor, we do have confirmation today that the historical romance series has wrapped its filming.

The Deng Ke-directed series stars Ding Yu Xi (Love in Pavilion) and Ancy Deng (Melody of Golden Age) as the main couple, and with Fan Shi Ran, Dong Zi Fan, Bai Shu just three members of what looks like an exceptionally talented cast.

Ancy Deng

A cast that has already helped The Road to Splendor garner over 500,000 reservations on Tencent Video, and we’re at least a year away from its premiere.

Those cast members, and a few others, also appear in the very pretty The Road to Splendor stills that have just been dropped by Tencent Video in celebration of the filming wrap.

Wen Zheng Rong

Tencent also commented about the C-drama, and the cast members featured in the latest The Road to Splendor stills:

With unwavering resolve, we weather the storms of time; Breaking through adversity, we stand tall and behold the splendid mountains and rivers.

Leading Cast: Ding Yuxi
Leading Cast: Deng Enxi (aka Ancy Deng)
Special Starring: Wen Zheng Rong
Also Starring: Fan Shiran, Dong Zifan
Special Guest Appearances: Zhang Meng, Tan Kai, Fan Tian Tian, You Jingru, Bai Shu, and Lü Xiaolin.

Yep, it’s pretty obvious we’re going to be getting another epic adventure when this one eventually sees the light of day.

Enjoy the newly-released The Road to Splendor stills — And I have got to say the costuming in this one looks gorgeous, right?

That stunning robe Bai Shu is wearing alone is worth the price of admission.
