That's is a rumor and not confirmed.

It still depends on iqiyi not on Author, and some iQIYI dramas are exclusively in iQIYI only not available on other platforms.

Chinese dramas often announce their premiere dates only about a week in advance because the final schedule can depend on several factors, including last-minute revisions or censorship requirements, a distribution license being issued late, platform scheduling and available slots, competition with other dramas, and changes in broadcasting arrangements. Platforms therefore tend to wait until everything is confirmed before officially announcing the premiere date.

That's why C-drama airing schedules are different from K-drama schedules, so don't try to compare the two.

So it's gonna air next year? Since the winter vacation in China is around Jan-Feb.

Also CNY is in Feb as well.

If the drama is produced by other networks like Tencent or iQIYI, there's a chance for special episodes.

But for Youku, Nooo don't expect anything. Youku is pretty bad network since before.

Wth? At least put spoiler tag or delete it. Keep sharing illegal sites here.

The site is already taken down multiple times because of you and others keep sharing the sites.

Not all episodes are out on Netflix, they don't have a express package.

Eps 22-24 are out only on Youku but you need to pay for it to watch the episodes.

Check your iQIYI Chinese app (not the international version) and look for press release. And look for IQIYI Conference

IQIYI Conference is not fake, lol. Are you even new?

IQIYI Conference is on September 23. Some dramas on iqiyi will post a materials.

All episodes are out on Youku, you need to pay for it to watch the 22-24 episodea via express package. Netflix is not the main distributor or main network so they don't have the the express package.

It's still impossible if the drama wants to air in China. It still needs to be registered and submitted to the NRTA for approval of its filing and filming before it can air. You can't air a drama in China without NRTA approval.

Netflix is not even the production company or producer of any C-drama, they always follow the schedule given by the main producer.

Swords into Plowshares has 48 episodes and it's already aired this year.

No, NRTA already lifted the 40 episodes limit few months ago. The main problem is censorship.

More like wild sensitive and explicit stuff.

If you read the novel, you probably ask yourself, “How are they going to get this approved?” The novel is really wild (In my POV).

The censorship is not only about BL story.

All Chinese dramas that are produced and registered in China will undergo censorship. Depending on the content, scenes or storylines involving romance, sexuality, violence, supernatural elements, politics, crime, historical issues, or other sensitive topics may be edited, removed, or changed before the drama can receive approval and be officially released.

You're not wrong. It's because of Censorship rules of China.

I already knew from the start, even before the drama was officially announced to begin filming, that the drama would face heavy censorship regulations.

I understand that people have different opinions, but didn’t you read what happened last night? Someone here questioned the success of the drama, saying that it’s MONOPOLIZED and talking nonsense.

Also, there a user here comparing the drama to another drama, which is a historical drama. I don’t understand why this drama needs to be compared to a historical drama.

This is not simply a matter of different opinions from mdl users, rather it feels like intentional hate.

Also, it's only on Main Network available Which is Youku and Netflix will not follow it. So Netflix don't have a express package.

Yes via Express Package on Youku. You need to pay for it to watch the remaining episodes.

The price of Express Package depends on your country, plus tax (based on your country) and payment service fee (if applicable).
