Before the popularity of The Untamed, which shot Xiao Zhan to international stardom with his co-star, Wang Yibo, he was more open with his admiration toward Li Qin. But following the success of The Untamed, Xiao Zhan became more cautious with his public interactions to avoid attracting issues.

Whatever they have for each other, Li Qin and Xiao Zhan seemed careful never to attract controversies, as most C-drama fans are possessive of their idols and prefer to see their favorites as unattached.
