Flourished Peony (国色芳华) is adapted from the novel written by Yi Qian Chong. It follows our female lead, daughter of a merchant with the talent to cultivate rare peonies and with the help of a conniving and corrupt official, she’s able to escape a transactional marriage and build an empire with like-minded people.
Airing 1/7~
Is Yang Zi starting the year early to put her in name in Popular Characters for 2025? She already dominated in 2024. Lol
I haven’t said this line in a while but I almost lost an eyeball trying to compile this post. Lol. I guess Qiyi has the majority of my interested dramas. Hope ya’ll find this helpful. I tried to include as much as possible but will eliminate non-human/concept posters for my sanity. If I missed anything, feel free to help me out in the comments! XD
Happy scrolling!
The wait is over for those painfully following this drama. Season 2 confirmed 11 days ago that it will be airing on 7/8.
Love Endures (要久久爱) is based on the novel written by Ying Shi Liu following the separation and reunion of a group of close-knitted friends starring Yang Zi and Fan Cheng Cheng as the main leads. While you guys wait for Lost You Forever Season 2, you can catch Yang Zi in modern clothing instead!
Airing 1/20~
Lost You Forever (Eternally Yearning For You, 长相思) is a novel written by the well-loved Tong Hua, and is the sequel to Once Promised (drama version is called A Life Time Love with Huang Xiao Ming and Song Qian in 2017).
It is a world of gods, demons, and mythical beings and they all live alongside humans, divided into three different kingdoms. I want to preface this by saying that most of the characters have multiple identities (very confusing to me as I only wanted spoilers!). Our heroine, Xiao Yao (Yang Zi), is a small-town doctor and spends the majority of the first part (multiple volumes) of the novel as a man. She has no memories of her past in the beginning of the novel. In her life, three important men will sweep in and only one shall remain by her side. The first man that we meet in according to the novel is Tu Shan Jing (Deng Wei). He’s beaten to a pulp and in no condition to survive, left to die on the streets. But our heroine picks him up and heals him. And in return, he promises to be her servant, to listen to only her. He’s actually the 2nd young master of a powerful family. The second man we meet shortly after is part of the past that she doesn’t remember. He’s Zhuan Xu (Zhang Wan Yi), a long-lost cousin she spent time with during her childhood. His side of the story isn’t told until the third volume, which makes for an interesting WAH moment (hidden for so long?!). Lol. The third male lead is a general with white hair; he is Xiang Liu (Tan Jian Ci), a nine-headed demon and wildly considered as her soulmate.
Koala has translated the novel, read chapter one here. Please go to her index to find the rest of the chapters.
Airing 7/24 ~
To watch or not to watch…. YZ looks very pretty in here but her dramas are mostly tragedies… Lol…
I’m embarrassed to say it took me four days to compile this list. In the past, only 2 days! A galore of Trailers and new stills!
Which drama (s) are you looking forward to?
Hello guys! Long time no see! Hopefully, after all the excitement ends in October, I’ll be able to get back to blogging more. Thanks for your understanding! <3

Imagine my surprise when I came home from work to a community of rejoicing fans, all excited to see Cheng Yi suffering beautifully again when his drama, Immortal Samsara, with Yang Zi suddenly announces it’s airing tonight! Lolol.
The novel is currently being translated by a sweet and stressed-out high school teenager (Lol, so cute), Rosie @ her blog. Fighting!
I have written spoilers for the novel before in my previous posts, but knowing how novel-to-drama adaptations go, not sure how much of the original story is still left. *shrugs* Happy watching!
