Della Ding Sings for “Legend of Moon and Stars”

Liu Shishi in Legend of the Moon and Stars

Liu Shishi adamantly keeps quiet about the broadcast date for Legend of the Moon and Stars.

Legend of the Moon and Stars (星月传奇), which stars Liu Shishi, Eddie Peng, and Hu Ge, recently gave us its ending theme, titled “Ancient Poem of Old Age” (白头吟).

Legend, which is also known as The Song of Desert, is based off Tong Hua‘s book Desert Melody (大漠谣).
