Qian Xiang Now Streaming Exclusively

Co-produced by Youku and Huanrui Century, the 33-episode ancient xianxia drama Qian Xiang, led by Song Weilong and Ju Jingyi, premiered exclusively on Youku Video on June 27. Amid fierce competition among summer 2026 series, it staged a textbook underdog success story.

By June 30, merely four days after launch, the show’s internal heat index on Youku peaked at 9536, nearly hitting the 10,000 milestone. Its heat hit 60 million within three hours of release, 80 million on the second day, and 90 million in three days, maintaining a steady upward trend against market odds. Total valid full-view plays across all platforms exceeded 50 million. It immediately claimed No.1 on Youku’s Trending and Search Charts, as well as the top spot on Maoyan’s National Series Heat Ranking, emerging as this summer’s most unexpected xianxia blockbuster.

Its phenomenal popularity did not come by chance. At its core, Qian Xiang is far more than a simple romance fantasy. It revolves around young protagonists with pure hearts who defy preordained fate and summon the courage to rewrite cosmic destiny on their own.

The youthful spirit of refusing to submit to fate, compromise against restraints, and break through adversity strikes a deep chord with audiences. This is the key reason countless viewers voluntarily promote the series online.

This core theme of breaking free from shackles and reshaping one’s destiny aligns perfectly with our original aspiration for virtual production. The characters in Qian Xiang hold pure youthful passion and march forward through countless hardships. We pursue pixel-level precision in our craftsmanship, recreating boundless grand scenes down to the smallest detail. Just like the protagonists, we refuse to be limited by background, fate or established rules, always daring to break boundaries and chase the vision we believe in.

Apart from soaring domestic popularity, Qian Xiang has secured a release deal with Netflix and will soon launch across multiple Southeast Asian countries, bringing the sincerity and courage of Eastern xianxia tales to a broader global audience.
