New Cdrama Trailers at the 2026 Tencent Video V Vision Conference

And the last compiled post for me! I won’t be doing these posts in the future because it’s too time-consuming and usually by the time I put the post up, most have seen the trailers on other platforms. No point in me rehashing another version. As always, I only included dramas with trailers since the stills will be in their individual post.

For those new to this routine, each streaming platform (tencent, mango, youku, iqiyi, etc) has a few conferences each year to showcase their upcoming dramas, roping in potential advertisements and interest.

Videos may take a few seconds to load.

The second part consists of a 5-part drama series; with part 1 Hot Blooded already aired last year. Are you confused yet? XD

Liu Xue Yi and Meng Zi Yi join the political marriage wagon in The Princess‘s Gambit

The Princess‘s Gambit (桃花映江山) is adapted from the novel written by Bai Lu Cheng Shuang.

Synopsis Per WeTv: The story is set during a time when the world is divided into three kingdoms. The Wei Kingdom is powerful but embroiled in a fierce struggle for the throne; the Wu Kingdom is focused on development and strategic planning; and the Zhao Kingdom is in turmoil, with Empress Lu controlling the court, putting the country in jeopardy. Princess Jiang Taohua of Zhao, ambitious and determined, seeks to escape Empress Lu’s control by arranging a political marriage with Wei. However, upon arriving in Wei, she is attacked by wolves and later wakes up to find herself accused of an affair with Chancellor Shen Zaiye. To stay in Wei, she offers to become Shen Zaiye’s concubine, making her a thorn in his side. Despite this, Jiang Taohua, who is poisoned, must fulfill Empress Lu’s task to bring down the Crown Prince. Shen Zaiye, while known as a tough and unyielding official, secretly desires to support a wise ruler and strengthen Wei. However, he falls into a trap while investigating palace smuggling, leading to his unintended entanglement with Jiang Taohua. Although Shen sets a deadly trap to remove her, Jiang’s willingness to risk her life earns his respect. Forced to live in Shen’s household, Jiang faces challenges from Shen’s wives and concubines, as well as his combative sister. But having grown up in Zhao’s treacherous palace, Jiang easily handles the internal household conflicts. Desperate to complete her mission and get the antidote for her poison, Jiang sneaks out of the estate to seek help, even as Shen keeps a close watch on her. As they clash and outwit each other, mutual feelings start to develop. Jiang soon discovers that the Crown Prince is also Shen’s political enemy, and offers to help him take the prince down, along with the various wives and concubines planted by political forces around Shen. The two form an alliance, and as they work together, they manage to expose the prince’s crimes to the emperor, causing the fall of the Eastern Palace. However, the struggle for the throne only intensifies from there.

Liu Xue Yi joins the 3-drama club this year as well! I think his dramas have the closest range of airing within each other, A Moment but Forever in late March, then Love Never Fails followed in late April, and now this at the end of june.

Airing 6/25~

Upcoming dramas release New Trailers at the Tencent Video 2025 Preview Party

Just a reminder, I only included trailers since I will be including the posters in their individual posts in the future, no need to repeat for more work. Tencent has a lot of drama I’m keeping my eyes on for sure. Lol. The videos may take a few extra seconds to load since Tencent youtube sucks by not uploading anything and therefore I had to use mostly twitter for videos.

Air date announced for Liu Shi Shi and Zhang Yun Long’s Fox Spirit Matchmaker 2: Love in Pavilion

First up: Fox Spirit Matchmaker 2: Love in Pavilion (狐妖小红娘竹业篇) can be watched as a standalone drama. You do not need to watch the supposedly first installment Red-Moon Pact with Yang Mi and Gong Jun.

Synopsis Per Qiyi: It tells the story of Dongfang Huaizhu (played by Liu Shishi) and Wangquan Hongye (played by Zhang Yunlong), the leaders of two major families, the Dongfangs and the Wangquans. In a time when humans and demons are in conflict, they work together to stabilize the situation in order to revive the Unity Alliance. On the seventh day of the seventh month, at the Bamboo Pavilion by the Huai River, their fates intertwine like the sheaths of two swords, never to be separated. They pick up the most heartwarming promise and tell a story that has endured for generations. Leading the transformation of the popular Chinese comic “Fox Spirit Matchmaker” into a live-action series, this installment, “The Zhu Ye Arc,” contributes to the creation of the Eastern Fantasy Universe.

You can read the manhua here, or watch the donghua here.

Airing on 4/28~

Meng Zi Yi and He Yu begin filming for historical drama Blossoms of Power

Another Blossom?! 😛 😛 😛

Blossoms of Power (百花杀) is adapted from the novel The Imperial Song – After I Bloom, A Hundred Flowers Die written by Jin Huang. The novel unfortunately only has 2 chapters translated so far by Celestial-dreamer.

This looks to be our leads’ third collaboration! He Yu played the younger version of the Emperor in Blossom and they also played a couple in The Legend of Heroes 2024. Another surprising face in the cast is the return of Jeremy Tsui who took a year-long break from showbiz and announced his comeback September of last year.

The story sounds interesting. DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DON’T WANT NOVEL SPOILERS. THE DRAMA WILL LIKELY CHANGE MANY THINGS, though. It’s a palace drama with lots of princes and scheming. Our male lead is an ailing crown prince who’s been poisoned since he was young so he spends his days pretending to be really frail although he practices martial arts (heh). He is described as scheming, cold-blooded, and manipulative. Our female lead, in her previous life, was married to the previous Crown Prince (second male lead), but committed suicide after the execution of her whole family under his supervision, forced by the Emperor (yikes!). Her soul enters the body of a general’s daughter. She’s later sent by her father to the capital to find a royal husband – our male lead. She’s equally cunning and cold.
