Chen Xiao: Those who have watched it know how great Xu Yao is!

"Incomparable Beauty" features Chen Xiao portraying Xu Yao, a character who embodies the struggles faced by many young people in their journey through life.
For a man over thirty, the speed of your success must surpass the rate at which your parents age, exceed the pace of your children's growth, and outstrip the demands your wife places on you. Xu Yao, engrossed in his pursuits, remarks, "Right now, all I can do is focus on moving forward until one day, I am confident that my abilities can be relied upon, and only then can I lift my head." This introspective monologue by the protagonist Xu Yao in "Incomparable Beauty" resonated deeply with many viewers.
To be honest, Xu Yao is far from the archetype of a "perfect male lead." He harbors an almost obsessive dedication to entrepreneurship and success, even at the cost of repeatedly rebuilding his own life. During the failure of his business venture, he chooses to leave, leaving behind his girlfriend Yu Jiaen, who remains ignorant of the truth, to grieve alone. Yet, it is precisely these imperfections that fueled Chen Xiao's enthusiasm for the character. He states, "No one is perfect, and what attracts me most to the character of Xu Yao is his authenticity. He appears strong on the surface, but those who understand him can see that he is carrying a heavy burden. Of course, with age and experience, he will also undergo growth, which is the most precious aspect."
Chen Xiao expresses that he can empathize with Xu Yao's sense of crisis, as everyone encounters lows and difficulties that are unavoidable. He says, "What we need to consider is how to adapt to these crises. Sometimes, in moments when you feel things can't get any worse, looking back, you'll find that it was also an incomparably beautiful time."
After the broadcast of "Incomparable Beauty," Chen Xiao and Gulnazar formed the "Xu Ni Yu Sheng / Promise You a Lifetime" CP, contributing numerous "dog food" scenes (scenes provoking romantic feelings). In the series, Xu Yao, burdened with substantial debt due to business failure, chooses to leave without informing Yu Jiaen. The eight-year relationship comes to an end through a broken engagement and elopement.
As time passes, when both think they have moved on, they reunite in the workplace as party A and party B, and the gears of fate start turning once again. Each time Xu Yao's gaze lingers, each time he overturns the vinegar jar; every time Yu Jiaen rushes forward without hesitation, every time she firmly supports... their destinies are tightly intertwined. It's no wonder Chen Xiao exclaimed in an interview, "They are destined to be together, and there's no escaping it."
Chen Xiao mentions that this is his first collaboration with Gulnazar, but there was never a sense of distance on set. Their cooperation was extremely harmonious. Speaking about their partnership, Chen Xiao praises, "They worked very, very hard."
