How do you feel?
Chinese actress Zhao Lusi has officially stepped behind the camera for her first drama as a producer and production supervisor, Sonder: Wo Jiu Bu Shi NPC, which premiered exclusively on Douyin on October 11, 2026.
Best known for starring in popular Chinese dramas such as Hidden Love, The Romance of Tiger and Rose, and Love's Ambition, Zhao Lusi is expanding her career beyond acting with a new female-centered fantasy anthology.
The project, titled Sonder: Wo Jiu Bu Shi NPC (SONDER·我不是NPC), marks her first credited production venture in these roles. Rather than taking on an acting role herself, Zhao Lusi has focused on developing the project behind the scenes, working with emerging performers and exploring a different approach to Chinese short-form dramas.
Sonder: Wo Jiu Bu Shi NPC officially premiered on October 11 at 7 p.m. China Standard Time through Douyin, China's popular short-video platform.
Unlike traditional Chinese dramas that typically premiere on streaming services such as Tencent Video, iQIYI, or Youku, Zhao Lusi's production is being distributed exclusively through Douyin. The series also takes a different approach to the increasingly popular short-drama format.
While many Chinese micro-dramas feature vertically filmed episodes lasting only a few minutes, Sonder uses a horizontal widescreen format with episodes reportedly running approximately 40 minutes.
The production consists of four interconnected stories set within a shared fictional universe, each featuring a different female protagonist.
Where to Watch Sonder: Wo Jiu Bu Shi NPC
Sonder: Wo Jiu Bu Shi NPC premiered on October 11, 2026, exclusively on Douyin. Viewers can find the drama through its official production account, SONDER·我不是npc剧组小破号.
