Cheng Yi strikes again as powerful warrior in Fox Spirit Matchmaker 3: Sword and Beloved with Li Yi Tong
Sword and Beloved (天地剑心) is the third part to the Fox Spirit Matchmaker series, all adapted from the manhua Hu Yao Xiao Hong Niang (狐妖小红娘) by Tuo Xiao Xin. Male lead is the son of Wang Quan Hong Ye (Zhang Yun Long’s character in Part 2) and Dongfang Huai Zhu (Liu Shi Shi’s character).
Synopsis per Qiyi: The drama series revolves around Wangquan Fugui, who is trained as the ultimate demon-slayer of the Yiqi Alliance since childhood, meeting Qing Tong, a spider demon who infiltrates Wangquan Manor as a spy. Qing Tong’s presence allows Fugui to broaden his horizon and change his view on demons. Yearning for freedom, Fugui’s fervor for attaining world peace is gradually ignited. After experiencing extreme agony, he leaves Wangquan Manor with Qing Tong, embarking on a journey of self-enlightenment.

New Promotional Materials for upcoming Cdramas at the 2025 iQIYI iJOY Conference
These posts! BAHHH! I mostly focus on trailers being released, so if a drama doesn’t have any video, I would usually include a poster.
PLEASE NOTE: Post may take a few extra seconds to load all the videos.
First Impression: The Journey of Legend Episode 1 – 8
If you had asked me at the start of 2025 what my top 3 most anticipated Cdramas would be, I would have told you it’s Journey of Legend, Immortal Ascension, and Dark River. Immortal Ascension came and gone. (It was fun, read my review here) Now here comes The Journey of Legend. I still say they should keep the title as ‘To The Mountain and Seas‘, it’s just cooler. Because the Jianghu is the Rivers and Lakes, so To The Mountain and Seas would be fitting. But at last, we ended up with a typical title.
Never mind that, after what felt like the longest wait ever, it’s finally here! And with it, my early impression review.
After years of hemming and hawing, Cheng Yi’s The Journey of Legend finally gets an airdate
Okay, I exaggerated in the post title, but you guys get what I mean right? I feel very fortunate at the moment because I have a new drama to watch on the heel of wrapping up Moonlit Reunion (I’m in the last 3 episodes!) Woooohoooo!! <3<3<3 And I’m so excited to see some TVB actors back in the 90s and 2000s starring as some of the wuxia masters! A great callback to the time when they were the young wuxia heroes.
The Journey of Legend (赴山海) is adapted from the novel Shen Zhou Qi Xia written by Wen Rui An.
Per Qiyi: It tells the story of Xiao Mingming, an ardent fan of martial arts novels and a mediocre man hit by the cruel reality. He travels across the martial world through the perspective of Xiao Qiushui, the protagonist of his novel, growing from a young impulsive swordsman with subpar skills to a reliable and emotionally-open hero who protects his family and country. Since then, Xiao Mingming never forgets to keep writing in his spare time, continuously conveying the belief that people’s hearts are united by righteousness through his novels.
Airing 9/11~

Go to the Mountains and Sea with Cheng Yi and Guli Nazha wraps up filming
Go to the Mountains and Sea (赴山海) wrapped up filming a few days ago and has dropped quite a bulk of posters/stills and a wrap-up special video. If you were like me following the promos, I’m happy to report that this drama…..has other characters! LOL.
In any case, it’s adapted from the novel written by Wen Rui An and follows our modern man who loves wuxia novels and finds himself a young protagonist in the wuxia world, learning fighting skills and eventually becoming a hero in his own right, fueled by righteousness and loyalty for his people and country.
