I am this close to making a cutesy smushed ship name for them. Must not succumb!

But, thanks to hollyxu, I have just found out that Eight and Qing Chuan, currently passing in the modern world as actors Feng Shao Feng and Yang Mi, have another drama together coming out later in the year! It is called Legend of the Tiger Amulet and, to my uncontained joy:

a. They play the angsty OTP! She lurves him but becomes someone else's concubine!
b. It's set in the Warring States era, so no Qing hairstyles. Instead, lovely hairstyles I like!

As per my cdrama guru hollyxu, the story involves an amulet which gives its user same authority as an Emperor would have. Yang Mi steals it from her husband and gives it to her lover to help his kingdom fight off Qin. That is going to end so well.

Nothing can dethrone Hu Ge's Shangri La off first place on my "most anticipated dramas" list, but this comes close. Anyway, I hope there are subs. Because I am NOT embarking on another raw cdrama watching experience. Maybe if I repeat that enough, I will actually carry through.
