Fans of historical romance C-dramas finally have something concrete to mark on their calendars. Pursuit of Jade (逐玉), one of the most talked-about upcoming Chinese costume dramas, is officially set to premiere on 6 March, and anticipation is already running high across drama circles.
Pursuit of Jade is a historical romance series that blends sweet chemistry, light humour, and emotional twists into one polished package. Since its announcement, the drama has steadily built hype thanks to its strong cast, elegant visuals, and a storyline that promises both heart-fluttering moments and serious stakes. With behind-the-scenes clips circulating online, many viewers are already praising the natural chemistry between the leads.
The drama stars Tian Xiwei and Zhang Linghe, a pairing that has quickly become one of the most anticipated combinations of the year. Zhang Linghe, known for his calm charisma and intense screen presence, is joined by Tian Xiwei, whose expressive acting and lively charm have won over audiences in recent hits.
Directed by Zeng Qing Jie, Pursuit of Jade spans 40 episodes, giving the story plenty of room to develop its romance, conflicts, and character growth without feeling rushed.
The official release date is 6 March, with the drama taking over a prime slot that previously belonged to another popular series. Pre-release buzz is already strong, with millions of viewers reportedly registering interest ahead of the premiere.
For international fans, Pursuit of Jade will be available on iQIYI (international version) and WeTV / Tencent Video. Both platforms are expected to provide English subtitles, making the series accessible to viewers outside China from day one.
Availability may vary slightly by region, but these two platforms remain the main go-to options for global audiences.

Adapted from a popular novel, the story follows Fan Changyu, a young woman from a once-wealthy family who is left to protect her household after her parents’ passing. To safeguard her inheritance from opportunistic relatives, she enters a contract marriage with Xie Zheng, a man she rescues by chance.
What begins as a practical arrangement slowly turns into real affection, but their growing bond is shaken when Xie Zheng is forced into military service.
As the story unfolds, Fan Changyu finds herself facing danger, sacrifice, and difficult choices, proving that love in turbulent times often demands courage as much as devotion.
Viewers can expect a balanced mix of romance, humour, and emotional tension. Early previews highlight warm domestic moments, playful dialogue, and visually rich period settings, while later episodes promise higher emotional stakes and dramatic turns.
The drama also leans into themes of loyalty, family honour, and personal growth, giving it depth beyond a simple love story.
Online reactions have been mixed in an interesting way, which only adds to the curiosity. Some fans are fully sold on the lead pairing and predict strong chemistry-driven scenes, while others are cautiously optimistic, waiting to see how the pacing and storytelling land.
Netizens have also praised the costumes and visual tone, though a few are keeping expectations realistic given the crowded historical drama market.
With a popular cast, a well-known source novel, and a release date that places it in a competitive viewing window, Pursuit of Jade has all the ingredients to become a standout historical romance. Whether it delivers a slow-burn love story or a more dramatic emotional ride will soon be revealed.
