Tangren’s xianxia drama Linglong stars Lin Yi as the young emperor who is out to save the world, Zhao Jinmai as a young girl with the power of the gods and Yuan Hong as her father.
The drama releases 2 eps every Fri-Sat on Tencent and Mango TV (as always, VIP members get a head start).

Tangren has returned to the Qing-time-travelling genre with Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty, which stars Li Landi as a 21st century young girl who is able to time travel back and forth between the two eras. Her main love line will be with the thirteenth prince (Wang Anyu).
The 40 episode drama releases 2 eps every Thursday to Saturday on Tencent. Watch the drama English subbed on Youtube here.

After a long drought in the genre, the team behind Qing Dynasty time-traveling romance Bu Bu Jing Xing returns with an adaptation of one of the pillars of the genre – A Dream Back to the Qing Dynasty 梦回大清 by Jinzi. The series stars Li Landi as a modern girl sent back to the reign of Kangxi, where she becomes intertwined with the lives of the various princes as they fight for the throne.
Tangren may be attempting to recreate the classic that was Bubu Jingxin / Scarlet Heart with their upcoming period romance drama Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty 梦回大清. Li Landi (My Huckleberry Friends) stars as Mingwei, the heroine who can time travel back and forth between the Qing dynasty and the 21st century.
With four memorable songs, anti-bullying film Cry Me a Sad River 悲伤逆流成河 might have my favorite original song list for a film since Tiny Times.
Don’t Cry by Sunnee is sung from the viewpoint of one survivor of bullying to another. You can watch another version of the MV that shows victims of bullying taking off the names they were called.
“I’m sorry” takes seconds to say
but “It’s okay” may take forever
Trailers and stills have been released for the movie version of Cry Me A Sad River 悲伤逆流成河. Unlike the drama version, the film seems like it’s going to be a relatively faithful adaption of Guo Jingming’s source novel, which delves into bullying/peer victimisation, rape, teen pregnancy STD’s, and suicide. The movie has cast completely new actors Zhao Yingbo, Ren Min, Xin Yunlai, Zhang Ruonan and Zhu Danni as leads.
