Yu Rongguang plays Leo Wulei's father in show. 

"Wulei is a handsome, stylish, and sunny boy. I'm happy, but I'm also afraid of seeing him on set each day. He looks totally immersed in the character that he plays. And he's a person who pays such close attention to detail that this obsession becomes annoying to the people around him. But all in all, we think he's lovely and we're happy to be collaborating with him."

Actress Li Qin, and the singers from the boyband "X Nine", including Wu Jiacheng, Gu Jiacheng, and Peng Chuyue will co-star in the drama series.

"Battle through The Heavens" will take over the timeshow previously held by "Meteor Garden" on Hunan TV.
