Another historical drama of Cheng Yi from Youku, The Vendetta of Ann, might be released first. The drama already has a pre-broadcast investment promotion for a Q4 release and is rumored to premiere in September.

I want to upload photos, please give me chance 🙏😔

As per the inquiry with MangoTV China's support team, Legend of the Female General will only be released on MangoTV China, not on its international version.

If you're a content creator planning to promote the drama, please make sure to mention the official international platforms instead.

I saw a few videos on TikTok about this drama, and they included MangoTV as the platform to watch it. However, I noticed many comments saying they couldn’t find the drama on MangoTV International because it’s only available on MangoTV China. Please do not list MangoTV as an international platform, as it does not air the drama there. This is to avoid confusion and misunderstandings about where the drama can actually be watched.

Here is the list of platforms where you can legally watch LOTFG. Please prioritize and support the official platforms, not illegal pirated sites.

- MangoTV

Yes, it’s real. For verification, you can check the official release date announcement on the Weibo accounts of Legend of the Female General, Tencent Video, MangoTV, and HunanTV. You can also watch the release date trailer uploaded on Weibo.

If you can't access Weibo, you can check WetV’s official social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and X.

Additionally, the drama will also be available on iQIYI International. You can check their announcement on their official social media platforms.

We’ll be seeing Cheng Lei twice this month. His other historical drama from iQIYI, Shadow Love, is also rumored to be released in late August or at the end of August.

Also, romance is a sub plot.

There's a romance.

You didn't watch the trailer? There's a wedding scene in the trailer. Please watch that, you can find the trailer on iQIYI app or Social media accounts of iQIYI (Mainland China and International)

You did not watch Fangs of Fortune last year, that drama release during propaganda month even it's not related on propaganda. So any dramas can be released during that time.

They can release dramas in October it Also happen last year, Many historical and modern drama release in October even it's a propaganda month.

Look all drama release last year and previous year.

And also you are new? If not for sure you already know about this, right?

Maybe, but since this is a dual-platform release (Tencent Video and iQIYI), both platforms must have an available schedule in September.

Also, another Cheng Yi drama from Youku, The Vendetta of Ann, is also rumored to be released in September. That drama has already started soliciting investment ahead of its broadcast schedule.

Cheng Yi historical drama from Youku also has active pre broadcast investment promotion and tentatively scheduled to air in Q4 2025

Sadly, only 1 historical xianxia drama rumored to be this month and has a active pre broadcast investment promotion. For sure you already know about this, right?

The Eternal Fragrance might release china's Autumn Season 2025 or early 2026.

There will be 2 production video will release tomorrow? or it same to my comment?

The dual-platform reservations for Legend of the Female General have surpassed 2.853 million.

*Combined total reservations from Tencent Video and MangoTV.

Legend of the Female General has surpassed 500,000 reservations on MangoTV Mainland China.

The drama was initially submitted to the NRTA for approval with 40 episodes, but the final broadcast version was cut down to 33. This usually happens during post production. In China, all dramas must be approved by the National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) before airing. Producers often submit more episodes than what is eventually released, anticipating that some content will need to be adjusted or cut.

During editing, scenes that slow down the pacing, contain repeated plot points, or don’t add value to the main storyline are often removed. Regulatory concerns such as political sensitivity, depiction of violence, or excessive romantic content can also lead to cuts. Moreover, platforms like Tencent Video, iQIYI, Youku and MangoTV may request shorter formats to align with their programming strategy and viewer preferences.

In the end, although 40 episodes were submitted, only 33 were finalized, likely due to a combination of creative editing choices, runtime restrictions (usually capped at around 45 to 50 minutes per episode), and compliance with NRTA and platform guidelines.

Let’s wait and see after Legend of the Female General airs, since Moonlit Reunion is the only other historical drama from Tencent Video scheduled to air in August.

You can check on Weibo — this is the latest rumor. LOTFG is not included anymore since it’s already officially announced to air on August 6. I’m sure you already know that, right?

Rumored to be released around late August, or they might stick to the investment promotion schedule for a Q4 release.

This drama can’t be released in early to mid-August, since another drama starring Cheng Lei—“Legend of the Female General”—will be airing on both Tencent Video and MangoTV. You probably already know this, right? Two dramas featuring the same actor usually can’t air at the same time.

Shadow Love is rumored for an August release, but it's more likely to come out around late August to the end of the month. Otherwise, they may follow the investment promotion timeline for a Q4 release. You can backread—someone already mentioned the investment promotion in the comments.
