Lol, my aim is not to defend MDL. I experienced the same situation with another drama. Whatever poster the official platform uses, MDL also uses those. But I was surprised too—they started the poster‑adding process for this drama very late. In fact, I wanted to add the couple poster I found on Douban here as the cover photo, but they didn’t allow it and instead added this poster.

By the way, you’re reacting very harshly. My complaint was that the drama’s Weibo account is terrible at sharing. But you made me look like an MDL supporter.

I didn’t say anything like that. But this is the reality. Mango TV added various CP posters both on the Chinese version of the app and on the global app. Yet the drama’s Weibo account didn’t share any of those posters. In this situation, what can MDL do?

MDL has introduced new rules. The drama’s profile photo will only be changed after the broadcasting platform updates it. And besides, this drama is really terrible at CP promotion. For example, the picture Mango TV added to its profile was not shared on the drama’s official Weibo page.

I had heard it somewhere before. In ancient times, women and men looked more mature at the age of 15. For example, when I consider my own region, there is a big difference between how we looked and our height back when we were in 11th grade, compared to today’s 11th graders.

SoSL really offered us wonderful things about Da Cheng. My only wish is that he can finally receive the recognition he deserves after this drama. Even though he is flawless in appearance, voice, and acting, he still cannot get the value he deserves.

Seeds of Scarlet Longing achieved a 15.9% market share, and on the Mango TV platform, the surpassed 210 million drama’s view count. Furthermore, the series has secured the top spot among currently airing mini-dramas. In the general ranking of all ongoing series, it has successfully broken into the top 20, while the character Shen Miu has risen into the top 10.
The drama continues to achieve greater success every passing day. Netizens are highly praising the acting performances of Zheng Yecheng and Zhao Qing. This series has truly become a massive hit.

Actually, it is quite normal that you haven't seen him. He established his own studio and is not affiliated with any agency, so he lacks powerful connections. He previously became very popular with the drama My Sassy Princess, and now he is gaining popularity once again. This drama is female-centric and was prepared by Yu Zheng specifically to make Zhao Qing popular. I believe Zheng Ye Cheng was only invited to bring the drama to a wider audience. However, unexpectedly, his character Shen Miu has truly stood out.

The hashtag ZhengYeChengZhaoQingCPUyumu has now climbed to 25th place on Weibo’s trending searches and is still rising. At such a moment, both Zheng Ye Cheng and Zhao Qing shared CP photos on their Weibo pages.

Ahahah, I guess they’re aware of it too 😋

Zhao Qing and Zheng Yecheng’s Short Drama Seeds of Scarlet Longing Tops Maoyan, Records 10.1% Market Share on Premiere Day. 🎉🎉🎉
https://en.layarhijau.com/2026/03/01/zhao-qing-and-zheng-yechengs-short-drama-seeds-of-scarlet-longing-tops-maoyan-records-10-1-market-share-on-premiere-day/

The chemistry between Zhao Qing and Zheng Ye Cheng is just so powerful. It even trended on Weibo's hot search list today. Even though this is a short drama, it is being discussed as much as a full-length series because of their chemistry. Additionally, the plot, costumes, hairstyles, and the meticulous production of the scenes also contribute to this.

Zheng Ye Cheng is literally carrying this drama with his acting. He is a lead actor for long-form dramas, which is why he makes this short series feel just as high-quality. Viewers are watching him in absolute awe 🥹. (My boy is rising once again!)

Zhao Qing got involved in a scandal last year. People said that she and Xu Kai were lovers, and that Xu Kai cheated on another woman with her. But it was never proven to be true. Last year, many male actors were involved in ex-girlfriend scandals. Just like the tax scandals that came out before 2025. Haters always find a way to spread slander.

The fact that the storyline is new has also been widely discussed by Chinese netizens. On top of that, a lot of effort has been put into the actors’ makeup and hairstyles. The director mentioned on his Weibo account that he tries to create a different style for each drama and aims for the best look. They really did a great job.

He is truly a wonderful person👌🏻. He doesn’t live by following popular trends. He always does what he believes is right. He promotes Chinese opera, acts in cultural dramas, and also performs in costume dramas

A medium-length series. 24 episodes, each lasting 20 minutes.

He manages his own private studio. He isn’t affiliated with any powerful agency, which is why his dramas are released very late. But this year, he has a lot of dramas coming out 😍

SoSL’s post under the drama’s hashtag today:

> Planting Red Beans in Your Brows [Super Topic]#
> Checking in with today’s festive vibes! Happy Lunar New Year’s Eve to all our Gu Dong fans～

The happiest moments while “moving bricks” (working hard) are when every little ramble gets a response from everyone～
My New Year’s wish is that Red Bean can bring happiness and joy to all of you.

I’ve seen many of you asking about video materials. Please trust that Red Bean has really prepared a lot. Since the official announcement, we’ve been sending them out one by one. It’s coming soon, it’s coming soon—get ready to meet Little Red Bean～

P.S. There will also be a special surprise.🎉

The managers of the drama Seeds of Scarlet Longing are so kind; they constantly reply to fans in the comments and do everything they can to promote the series. They even listen to the fans’ heartfelt concerns.

Director and ZYC fans’ heartfelt comments:

X: “We’re eagerly waiting for Seeds of Scarlet Longing to air soon. Is there hope before the New Year, Director Du?”
Du Hao Duuu: “It won’t make it before Spring Festival, it has to be after New Year’s Eve. The exact date is still waiting for notice, but we’ll try to meet during the winter break～”

Du Hao Duuu replying to X: “Okay! Rushing like crazy.”

2X:“Director Du, don’t keep it wrapped up so tightly. Since the wrap-up you said materials would be released, but after more than four months we only got one behind-the-scenes clip and one poster. When will you release a trailer for us to see?”
Du Hao Duuu: “We can only release it once the schedule is set.”

3X:
“Director Du, on Mango TV replace Seeds of Scarlet Longing’s stills with real actor photos, they’re more eye‑catching.”
Du Hao Duuu:
“We’re in the process of changing them!”

4X:
Du Sir, Happy Beginning of Spring! Looking forward to meeting soon.”
Du Hao Duuu replying to @3X: “Wow, thank you for the support.”
4X:
“Wow, I’m already a golden fan.

The director even made a reference to the leaked footage from the set 😂😂.

I’m honestly tired of seeing those baby-faced actors who have no clue about fight scenes in Wuxia dramas 😂😂. Sadly, the industry values popularity over real talent.
