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.

The drama wrapped on 12 November 2025 and received its distribution licence in mid-May 2026, but talk of a summer release came to nothing. Its sister dramas moved faster: Hidden Love aired seven months after wrapping and The First Frost about ten weeks after passing review, so both gaps have already been exceeded. The official account opened reservations with a new video at iQIYI's 23 September showcase, so this assumes about eight weeks more: 18 November 2026. Re-date when iQIYI announces.^[1]

  折月亮 (Zhe Yue Liang, "When I Meet the Moon") is iQIYI's 27-episode romance adapted from Zhu Yi's novel, the last of the Nanwu trilogy after Hidden Love and The First Frost, starring Lu Yuxiao (卢昱晓) as the socially anxious Yun Li and Lin Yi (林一) as her high-school crush Fu Shize. It was filmed in Xiamen in 2025 and licensed in May 2026. No air date has been announced, so the premiere shown here is an estimate.

No date had been announced by 27 September 2026. Wu Lei's last Tencent drama, Amidst a Snowstorm of Love, premiered about 8 months after wrapping (end of May 2023 to 2 February 2024); 8 months from 4 May 2026 is early January 2027, so this uses the last week of Tencent's stated window, 28 December 2026. A fan post's guess of late 2026 to 2027 is unconfirmed. Re-date when Tencent announces the date.^[1]

  剑来 (Jian Lai, "The One") is Tencent Video's 24-episode live-action wuxia fantasy adapted from Fenghuo Xi Zhuhou's web novel, starring Wu Lei (吴磊) as the poor alley boy Chen Ping'an, with Chang Chen (张震) and Li Wanda (李宛妲) in special appearances. Its first season, 笼中雀, was shot in Jiande, Hangzhou from November 2025 to May 2026. Tencent has said only that it will launch in the second half of 2026, so the premiere shown here is an estimate.
