I think it’s airing both on Dong Fang TV and Iqiyi at the same time. Iqiyi already released 6 episodes, but Dong Fang TV is releasing 2 episodes every Monday and Tuesday. So, the first two episodes are already online!! And it looks great so far 🙂

The quality of this drama is really extraordinary. WC’s acting still needs improving so does Yixing’s… but, the set, costumes, and overall quality, dialogue, and editing makes it worth watching for sure!! Let me know what you guys think when you watch it 🙂

Hi there! The release schedule is different for the online VIP release vs the TV small screen release. Thanks to the online release, you can actually expect 4 episodes per day on Monday/Tuesday and for the TV release, about 2 episodes per day on Monday/Tuesday. As of today, 8 episodes are released with VIP 🙂

Oh the agony. 😦
I originally thought it was 4 episodes a day too until I double checked on iQiyi’s website and was devasted that it wasn’t because I looked forward to watching episode 10 for Zhao Li Ying’s characters appearance! On the bright side it’s almost Friday so we’re close to Monday, never thought I’d be happy for a Monday to arrive…
