Flourished Peony Season 2 changes name to In the Name of Blossom and secures air date at the end of June
You know what they say, when there’s a will, there’s a way. For those who don’t know, Flourished Peony is split into 2 seasons due to the high episode count to comply with the 40-episode drama rule. Then there was the restriction of waiting a year between 2 seasons. So I guess the production found a loophole by giving season 2 a totally different name and now voila, we have In the Name of Blossom (锦绣芳华) airing tomorrow June 30th with a total of 24 episodes!
But to be honest, I think they missed out on naming it In the Name of Peony instead. Why does it need to be another Blossom something? Lol.

Per WeTv: The exceptionally gifted Ghost King, He Simu (Dilireba), unexpectedly encounters the young general, Duan Xu (Chen Fei Yu), while out on a break, searching for food. This young general, who carries an item belonging to someone from He Simu’s past, seems not to be the real Duan Xu. As they test each other through subtle exchanges, He Simu gradually uncovers the dark past and aspirations hidden within Duan Xu’s heart. In turn, Duan Xu discovers the steadfastness and loneliness that He Simu has endured. Despite the fleeting lifespan of a mortal, no more than a hundred years, and the four-hundred-year-old ghost who still retains the appearance of a young girl, they resist the relentless passage of time through their love.
