Tencent will premiere the drama on August 6th and hopefully spend this week prior doing solid promos.

So the recently aired xianxia C-drama Feud left me massively frustrated but at the plot and less at the leads.

The new promos for Legend of the Female General bodes well for the insider chatter that Tencent will release it in August 2025.

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!
