尚公主 (Shang Gong Zhu, "Tigers Sniff the Rose") is Tencent Video's 40-episode period romance of court intrigue, reuniting Meng Ziyi (孟子义) as Princess Mu Wanyao and Li Yunrui (李昀锐) as the low-born strategist Yan Shang for their third drama together. Adapted from Yi Ren Kui Kui's novel, it began filming at Hengdian on 31 August 2025 and has passed review. It is widely reported as tentatively set for 20 October 2026, but Tencent has not announced a date, so the premiere shown here is an estimate.
