Drama bloggers report a tentative 20 October 2026 premiere on Tencent Video (21 October has also been mentioned), and a 25 September post on its Mid-Autumn promo says late October, but no date had been announced by 27 September. The leads' previous pairing, Blossom (九重紫), wrapped on 27 March 2024 and premiered on 6 December 2024, about 8 months later; the same gap from a February 2026 wrap lands in October 2026, so the reported 20 October date is used. Re-date when Tencent announces the date.^[1]

  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.
