The drama, based on a popular novel, follows the story of the eponymous White Moon, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and vengeance against injustice. White Lu's character, Bi Yuan, is a key figure in this martial arts epic. With a lavish costume budget and an innovative approach to the genre, "White Moon Tianting" has generated considerable buzz among Chinese audiences.

White Lu, however, has faced some backlash for her portrayal of Bi Yuan. Social media users have commented on the character's appearance, criticizing the makeup and styling decisions that make her look older and less attractive than the actress herself. Many have taken to Weibo to express their disappointment, comparing the character's appearance to a "precious vase with irregularities," diminishing the carefully crafted image of the otherwise stunning costume and makeup.

One user wrote, "The makeup and styling decisions for Bi Yuan do not do justice to the beauty of White Lu. It's such a shame that her character's appearance detracts from the otherwise incredible production quality."

Other social media users have defended the actress, praising her acting skills and her dedication to the role. On the Weibo page dedicated to the series, fans have shared glowing reviews of Lu's performance, lauding her for bringing the character to life with authenticity and emotion.

In one particular scene, Lu's portrayal of Bi Yuan in a lavish bridal gown has captured the hearts of fans. The stunning costume, complete with a phoenix crown, evokes memories of the classic bridal scene in the popular Chinese TV series "Sacrifice," featuring actress Ruby Lin. Fans have taken to social media to share their admiration for the scene, praising Lu for her ability to evoke the same emotions as her predecessor.

Despite the mixed reactions to her performance, White Lu has remained a prominent figure in the Chinese entertainment industry. Known for her versatility and adaptability, the actress has consistently delivered powerful and memorable performances throughout her career.

As the release of "White Moon Tianting" approaches, the buzz surrounding the drama continues to grow. With fans eagerly anticipating the show's premiere, it remains to be seen whether White Lu's performance will ultimately win over her detractors or further fuel the debate over her portrayal of Bi Yuan. For now, one thing is clear: the actress's star power shows no signs of waning.
