Yunchu's Vengeance (云初令) Premieres
- iQIYI released the first trailer at its iJOY conference on 23 September 2026 and lists the drama on its 2027 slate as an iQIYI exclusive; no air date has been announced, and reports expect the first quarter of 2027[5]
- Filming began at Hengdian on 11 January 2026 and Esther Yu wrapped there on 22 March, a 74-day shoot, with a huge fan event; the full cast was announced with the wrap on 3 April[1][2][7]
- Esther Yu (虞书欣) plays Yun Chu (云初), the daughter of a general's house; Zhang Yunlong (张云龙) plays Chu Yi (楚翊), a seemingly idle prince who commands troops; and Zhang Tianyang (张天阳) plays her treacherous first husband Xie Jingyu (谢景玉). Huang Haibing (黄海冰) and Han Dong (韩栋) are among nearly 30 supporting actors. Later promotional material bills Zhang Yunlong as a special appearance[2][5][6][7]
- In her first life Yun Chu marries the poor scholar Xie Jingyu and pours her family's power into his house, only for the Xies to have her family executed and her adopted son to poison her. Reborn at 20, she takes her revenge from inside the household, finds the twins she had with Chu Yi hidden by the Xies, allies with him and puts down a prince's rebellion[2][5]
- It adapts 朝云紫's novel of the same name from the Fanqie platform, is directed by Zhu Ruibin (朱锐斌, Ashes of Love), written by Xu Ting (徐婷) and produced by iQIYI, with 24 episodes[2][5][6]
- Esther Yu's recent fantasy dramas aired 10 to 14 months after wrapping: Love Game in Eastern Fantasy wrapped on 23 December 2023 and premiered on 1 November 2024[3], and Love Between Fairy and Devil wrapped on 10 June 2021 and premiered on 7 August 2022[4]. The shorter gap after a March 2026 wrap points to late January 2027

Estimated: iQIYI has not announced (定档) a date; it showed the first trailer at its iJOY conference on 23 September 2026 and lists the drama on its 2027 slate, and entertainment reports expect the first quarter of 2027. Filming wrapped on 22 March 2026. Esther Yu's Love Game in Eastern Fantasy premiered about 10 months after wrapping (Love Between Fairy and Devil about 14), so this uses the shorter gap: about 30 January 2027. Re-date once iQIYI announces the date.
