did u know, i just found out this. The Chinese historical drama Pursuit of Jade (逐玉), which premiered on March 6, 2026, generated significant anticipation with over 9 million to 10 million combined reservations (or pre-release bookings) across major platforms like iQIYI and Tencent Video before it began airing.
Key pre-release milestones for the drama included: Over 2 million: Early anticipation milestone. Over 4 million: Reached early March 2026. Over 8 million: Surpassed shortly before the March 6 release. 10 Million: Reached shortly before or on the day of the premiere.
The series, starring Zhang Linghe and Tian Xiwei, was recognized as one of the most-reserved TV series of 2026.
Exciting news coming from the drama Pursuit of Jade that is said to be called a celebration banquet in the near future. The rumors flare after an executive involved in the production hinted via social media that a central celebration was being prepared.
The drama starring Zhang Linghe and Tian Xiwei is reportedly set to hold a festive event on April 13. In fact, the producers were said to give “hints” that the show was indeed planned to take place.
Although still a rumor, the news was immediately welcomed with enthusiasm by fans who hoped the drama's success would be truly celebrated.
Pursuit Of Jade has officially ascended to the throne, becoming the #1 Chinese Drama of all time on Netflix! Since its explosive March 6 debut, the series has reached a massive 7 Million views, officially overtaking The First Frost (6.1M) to claim the crown.
DID U GUYS KNOW IN THE RED RIBBON TREE SCENE IN LIN'AN XIE ZHENG WROTE FANCHANGYU NAME ON EVERY RIBBON, THAT'S WHY HE DIDN'T LET HER TO MOVE THE RIBBON WHEN IT DIDN'T FELL ON TO HIS RIBBON. THE DETAILS
Your rant doesn’t change the fact that, for some people, the drama is still pretty terrible. People are allowed…
Absolutely, everyone’s entitled to their opinion—but calling Pursuit of Jade terrible while still obsessively watching it and reading comments? That’s a bit rich.
GUYS FEW HATERS BACK TO THE DRAMA CALLING IT TOO DAUNTING. Calling Pursuit of Jade “bullshit” while binge-watching 20+ episodes and still checking comments? Congrats, you basically proved the drama hooked you more than you’re willing to admit. 😏 It’s a bit funny seeing comments like “stupid female lead,” “the drama is nonsense,” or “it went downhill”… while also saying you watched 20 episodes without skipping, skimmed the rest, and are still watching one episode a day just to see what the fuss is about. If Pursuit of Jade was really that bad, most people would’ve dropped it long before episode 20. The truth is a lot of viewers connected with the story, the characters, and the emotional arcs, which is why the rating is high. Not every drama works for everyone—and that’s fine. But calling the female lead “all brawn no brain” or acting like people only liked it for shallow reasons doesn’t really change the fact that many viewers genuinely enjoyed the story. 🙂 I WANT YALL TO EITHER ACT OR MAKE A DRAMA THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY FLAWLESS CUZ IT'S SEEM LIKE IT'S EASY THING FOR YOU GUYS.
There's nothing beautiful about her smile, in my opinion. Her mouth is too large. And she's not suited for comedic…
You created an MDL account today , watched POJ as your very first drama, and immediately wrote a whole essay dragging Tian Xiwei… that already says everything. 💀 If you hate her smile, her acting, her comedy, basically everything about her, then why are you even watching her drama? Go watch your “seasoned actresses'' and be happy there.
I’m a fan of all three, but fans should at least have some boundaries and respect for the work actors put in. Hate-watching a drama just to nitpick someone’s face and expressions is honestly more embarrassing than anything you’re criticizing. At that point it’s not criticism anymore—it’s just bitterness.

Honestly, if you’re busy analyzing someone’s smile and inventing imitation theories, you probably weren’t going to enjoy the drama anyway. 😭 Tian Xiwei is just being expressive and having fun with the role. Not every playful moment is a failed attempt to be Bai Lu or Li Yitong. Different actresses, different styles. At the end of the day, people who actually watch dramas to enjoy them will see the charm. If someone is this determined to nitpick every expression, no actress would satisfy them anyway. 🤷♀️✨
