The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom is a 2014 Chinese wuxia-fantasy film based on the novel Romance of the White-Haired Maiden written by Liang Yusheng.

On 2 April 2013, Huang and Fan Bingbing attended a press conference in Beijing to talk about their experiences in filming White Haired Witch.

Their attempt in reinventing this tale sits uncomfortably with the one central element that couldn't be moved—that is, the troubled (and sloppily presented) romance involving the title character.
