The first preview is out for the period romance C-drama How Are You? and Cheng He Ti Tong 成何体统! is the Chinese title and translated literally means How Dare You!

This isn’t quite a sudden airdrop but does feel out of left field that Tencent decided to go more low key to end April by premiering period C-drama Serendipity (榜上佳婿 Bang Shang Jia Shu or Top Scholar Ideal Husband) today instead of another more high profile pick.
