Xiao Zhan won't return to "Joy of Life 2"?

8 Apr - Rumours are rife that mainland actor Xiao Zhan (Sean Xiao) has been removed from the second season of "Joy of Life".

As reported on On CC, speculations about Xiao's removal sparked after the actor was a no-show on the variety show, "Trump Card", where the rest of his cast mates attended.

The appearance of these actors, including Zhang Ruoyun, seemed to confirm that they will be joining season two of the series, and that Xiao's absence could mean that he will not be a part of it.

Sources believe that Xiao's absence could have something to do with the recent controversy surrounding a fan war that had caused the ban of fan fiction sites Lofter and Archive Of Our Own in China.

Back in February, fans of Xiao expressed their anger and disgust over an RPF (Real People Fiction) about Xiao and his "The Untamed" co-star Wang Yibo. The story depicts Xiao as a man who cross-dresses as a salon girl while Wang is a student who falls in love with him.

Fans of Xiao decided to report the said fiction claiming that it was an insult to their idol, causing the said ban. As a result, netizens began to boycott the actor's work and demanded an apology from his fans.
