Chen Zheyuan’s Handsome Face

<p><strong></strong>Chinese drama <strong>&#x27;Hidden Love&#x27;</strong> may have premiered three years ago, but its impact on<strong> C-drama</strong> fans remains undisputed. We often credit this lasting impact to <strong>Chen Zheyuan</strong>’s impressive performance—his expressive eyes that draw us completely into the emotion of a scene, or those intimate moments when Zheyuan&#x27;s gravitational chemistry with Zhao Lusi keeps us on the edge of our screens. In reality, beyond these outstanding markers, is his visual versatility that serves as a pivotal anchor, elevating the entire drama into a standout success.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780565037056Chen Zheyuan 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Chen Zheyuan| Photo via @chenzheyuanisssme</span></span></span>“<strong>Duan Jia Xu</strong>” is one of the great roles Zheyuan has portrayed. There are more handsome moments to adore from him, and below are the five times Chen Zheyuan’s handsome face broke the internet. Swipe up!</div><div><br/></div><div><strong>He’s A Barefaced Star</strong></div><p>You know Zheyuan’s visuals are the real deal when he often posts his face without makeup. Whether it’s a mirror selfie, a workout picture, or just a normal picture without foundation, he’s handsome. Moreover, his features aren’t the usual ones you’ll see a lot in your feed. He has Bambi eyes and straight, bad-boy-like eyebrows that amazingly contrast with his facial expression when he acts. That look is, indeed, a face of a leading man! </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780564497234CZY 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @chenzheyuanisssme</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://metro.style/beauty/2026/4/24/chinese-actors-who-look-amazing-without-makeup-1600" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Chinese Actors Who Look Amazing Without Makeup</a></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>A Red Carpet Gentleman</strong></div><p>When the camera panned on Zheyuan during the Weibo night, we were swooning over his cuteness! Look at that bouncy cheek and infectious smile. We can’t get enough of it! The highlight of this look, aside from him being adorable, is his side two-block hairstyle. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DUarUJYkxUF/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=1080&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A4903606%2C%22ls%22%3A4902404%2C%22le%22%3A4903598%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1012" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Has a Toned and Defined Physique</strong></div><p>In China, one of the beauty standards they uphold for men is staying slim. Zheyuan, however, possesses both the international and local ones. He’s not the type of actor with a slender build. He has muscle mass and lean structure, making his body proportionate to his visage. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780564783915CZY 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @chenzheyuanisssme</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>His Visual Fluidity</strong></div><p>Chen Zheyuan completely shattered expectations in &#x27;Hidden Love&#x27;. While his contemporary visuals in the drama were top-tier, his aesthetic range extends far beyond modern-day romance; he effortlessly transitions into the striking, regal look of a historical warrior. In fact, his look in Fated Hearts stole our hearts. That armor paired with his long hair and side tendrils? Heart-fluttering! </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780564984855CZY5.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via IMDb</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>The greenflag “Duan Jia Xu”</strong></div><p>Standing as his most iconic and visually striking role to date, Duan Jiaxu is a character whose look few C-drama fans could ever forget. Backed by top-notch modern grooming and impeccable styling, the character did more than just leave a permanent mark on the C-drama landscape—he seamlessly cemented his status as the ultimate new internet boyfriend. After all, we all dream of a supportive, ultimate &quot;green flag&quot; partner, and no one embodies that quite like Duan Jiaxu!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780564924776CZY 4.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via Weibo @chenzheyuan</span></span></span></div>
