Veil of Chu

The film mainly tells the story of Wu Qi, a Faqiu inheritor played by Julat Kutilai, and his close friend Wang Fugui. While searching for the whereabouts of their master, they accidentally clash with Lin Zhenzhen, the daughter of a warlord. Unexpectedly, all three fall into the scheme of the villain Hong Ling. After a negotiation, the three forces enter the tomb with their own agendas. Wu Qi uses the secret Faqiu techniques to locate the tomb and cleverly 破解 (break) the mechanisms, leading everyone to escape death in the tomb.

Directed by Sun Jianshe, Veil of Chu leans on a strong ensemble — Jurat, 文晴, Wang Kuirong — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 2025.
