The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
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.
The wrap and full-cast gallery: 24 episodes, wrap and cast announced on 3 April 2026, iQIYI, director Zhu Ruibin, writer Xu Ting and the three leads.[1]
Esther Yu's recent fantasy drama: filming began at Hengdian on 9 August 2023, wrapped on 23 December 2023 and premiered on 1 November 2024. This roughly 10-month gap is the basis for the estimate.[1]
Esther Yu's iQIYI xianxia hit: filmed at Hengdian from 14 February to 10 June 2021 and premiered on 7 August 2022, a 14-month gap that marks the late end of the range.[1]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
