Qiao Chu (翘楚) is adapted from the novel Chu Hou written by by Xi Xing. Why is the plot for all these costume dramas starting to merge for me? Our female lead is a general’s daughter, she’s set on changing her fate from being a pawn in the political game. She meets and brightens up the lonely life of our male lead, helping him rise the ranks from a mere imperial guard to a great general. Together they save millions of people from war and remove the threats to their country.
I’m gonna try to understand what’s going on here Lol. I thought it was just a 5-part drama series focusing on the Five Greats of the Condor trilogy from Jin Yong’s novels. But now it looks like there’s a main part, the drama that aired last year The Legend of Heroes (金庸武侠世界), a remake of Legend of the Condor Heroes, then there’s a sequel/The Legend of Heroes Season 2, with no promo in sight. The second part consists of a 5-part drama series; with part 1 Hot Blooded already aired last year. Are you confused yet? XD
So in order…
(Main) The Legend of Heroes (金庸武侠世界) Aired 7/2024
(Main) The Legend of Heroes Season 2 (金庸武侠世界 第二季)
(1) The Legend of Heroes: Hot Blooded (新金庸武侠世界: 铁血丹心) Aired 7/2024
(2) New Jin Yong Wuxia Universe: Nine Yin True Sutra (新金庸武侠世界: 九阴真经) Airing 7/26/25~
(3) New Jin Yong Wuxia Universe: Eastern Heretic and Western Venom (新金庸武侠世界: 东邪西毒) Airing 7/31/25
(4) New Jin Yong Wuxia Universe: Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar (新金庸武侠世界: 南帝北丐) Airing 8/5/2025
(5) New Jin Yong Wuxia Universe: Duel on Mount Hua (新金庸武侠世界: 华山论剑) Airing 8/10/25
Each part has about 6 to 8 episodes.
As you might have noticed, a slew of dramas wrapped up filming last month, so the natural order of things are for more dramas to confirm and start with their productions!
This post kept getting longer and longer so I had to call quits on Friday as cutoff date. Lol.
The Glory (雁回時) is adapted from the novel written by Qian Shan Cha Ke.
From WETV: Zhuang Han Yan, abandoned and raised in the southern countryside since childhood, eventually returns to the Zhuang family in the capital, attracting the attention of Fu Yun Xi.
Fu Yun Xi is afflicted with a strange illness and seeks to marry a woman of both virtue and talent to entrust his family and friends. Zhuang Han Yan, with her exceptional courage and kind heart, becomes his ideal choice. As Zhuang Han Yan and Fu Yun Xi fall in love during their mutual testing and maneuvering, Han Yan reconciles with her mother, rediscovering the lost family bond. In her interactions with the Fu family, Zhuang Han Yan experiences the warmth of a family and the beauty of affection. Together, Zhuang Han Yan and Fu Yun Xi expose the hypocritical and unjust actions of Zhuang Shi Yang, the head of the Zhuang family, and become a loving couple.

Previously known as The Story of Mystics, Fangs of Fortune (大梦归离) is adapted from the tales and myths in Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The story per Qiyi: The story narrates a magnificent legend where “demons capture demons.” During the Zhenyuan era, due to the accidental death of the Bai Ze goddess, who governed the realms of humans and demons, the Bai Ze Order goes missing, leading to rampant demon beasts causing chaos and numerous bloody murders in the human world. At this time, the leader of all demons, “Zhu Yan,” disguised as Zhao Yuanzhou (played by Hou Minghao), volunteers to “surrender” and proposes to help the imperial court form a demon-hunting bureau to quell the chaos. Wen Xiao (played by Chen Duling), wary and suspicious of Zhao Yuanzhou, joins the demon-hunting bureau along with her childhood friend and consul of the bureau, Zhuo Yichen (played by Tian Jiarui), who is adept in both detective work and swordsmanship; the cool and detached archer Pei Sijing (played by Cheng Xiao), formerly of the martial camp; and the young, talented, but timid doctor Bai Jiu (played by Lin Ziye). Together, they form a demon-hunting team, confronting the demon beasts recorded in “The Classic of Mountains and Seas.” As they solve cases, they gradually uncover the brutal truth behind the malicious acts of the demon beasts. Faced with a great responsibility and the loss of loved ones to dust, can the indestructible friendship of the demon-hunting team and the love between the top demon beast and the goddess break through this dilemma?
Airing 10/26~
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!
