Zhan Zhao Adventures 雨霖鈴 is a 37-episode Chinese wuxia drama series which premiered on May 13, 2026. It is adapted from the webnovel Yu Lin Ling 雨霖鈴 (translated as Bells Ringing in the Rain, the term was from a tune originated from the Tang Dynasty Imperial Music Bureau 唐代教坊曲) by minifish 小魚, which is a fanfic reinterpretation and reiteration of the classic 1879 Chinese martial arts novel, The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants 七俠五義. If you think the two main protagonists, Zhan Zhao 展昭 and Bai Yutang 白玉堂, sound familiar, it is because they both appear as BL characters in another webnovel S.C.I. Mystery Series ＳＣＩ謎案集 by Er Ya 耳雅 (series adaptation in 2018), which is another reinterpretation of the same classic novel.
Zhan Zhao, now a fourth-rank imperial bodyguard, receives evidence of a cold case left by an old friend and sets out alone to investigate. He encounters attacks from various factions along the way, and befriends Huo Linglong, the beautiful and talented young lady of Linglong Manor, and Bai Yutang, the passionate and righteous “White-haired Rat”. The three like-minded individuals search for clues, uphold justice, capture criminals, and dismantle the powerful network of influence that the Prince of Xiangyang has built over many years, spanning the court and the martial arts world. Ultimately, they thwart the Prince’s conspiracy and restore peace to the people.
