Set in imperial China's most prosperous Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), Lady of the Dynasty features the legendary royal romance of Emperor Xuanzong and his beloved concubine, Yang Yuhuan, played by Fan.

The historical epic, which will be released on July 30, also stars Hong Kong actor Leon Lai Ming, playing Emperor Xuanzong, and Bruneian singer-actor Wu Chun, who plays a son of the emperor and Yang's first lover.

In addition to the above projects, Fan has shown keen interest in picking a lead role in The Sorjouner, a Sino-US production adapted from Chinese-American novelist Geling Yan's book by the same name.
