Burning Flames (武庚纪) is adapted from the manhua Feng Shen Ji written by Zheng Jian He and drawn by Deng Zhi Hui and Cheng Kin Wo.

Synopsis Per Qiyi: It tells the story of Wu Geng (played by Ren Jialun), a prince of the human race who becomes a slave after his kingdom is destroyed. Despite his circumstances, he remains determined to seek revenge for his parents and people, inheriting the will of the former king and leading his fellow humans in resisting the oppression of the divine race. Wu Geng, the fallen prince of the human race (played by Ren Jialun), experiences the devastation of his family and becomes a slave in the lowest levels of a mine. He carries the deep vengeance of his fallen kingdom and, in order to improve himself, follows his grandfather and life mentor Fu Xi (Played by Liu Xiangjing) to the hidden village of the gods for training. With the guidance of Zi Yu (played by Yan Yikuan), Shi Xing (played by Mi Re), and others, he overcomes various challenges and obstacles, relying on his indomitable spirit. He embarks on a path of revenge and freedom. Eventually, he forms a powerful army to confront the gods and bring an end to the long-standing struggle against enslavement.

Three lifetimes of entanglements between Wang He Di and Zhu Xu Dan in Miss The Dragon

Fantasy drama Miss The Dragon, previously known as Yu Long (遇龙) with Dylan Wang He Di and Zhu Xu Dan is based on a Chinese game. He plays a 1000 years old dragon saved by a maidservant (she thought he is a snake, lol). He wants to repay her kindness by marrying her. Their love gets entangled over three lifetimes after a fatal accident takes place. This sounds like a mix of Ashes of Love and Three Lives Three Worlds Peach Blossom.

Airing 5/10~

The story follows our male lead, an enthusiastic tradesman in the business of selling haunted houses, his psychologist bro-mate who is searching for his missing dad, and a policewoman who is the sassy daughter of a warlord.
