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 two series of BL webnovels by Er Ya 耳雅, both series are also reinterpretation of the same classic novel – S.C.I. Mystery Series ＳＣＩ謎案集 (series adaptation in 2018) which is the modern reinterpretation (currently 6 volumes), while Dragon Pattern Scroll Set 龍圖案卷集 is the historical reinterpretation (currently 3 volumes).

You Are My Glory (TV Series OST) 電視劇《你是我的榮耀》片頭片尾插曲
You Are My Glory 你是我的榮耀 is a 32-episode webdrama that premiered on July 26, 2021 and just ended its first run on August 30, 2021. Seriously, another Chinese drama title that started with You Are My…? In the past year or so, we already have You Are My Destiny, then You Are My Hero, and now You Are My Glory??? You would have thought they are sequels or something, but no, just trying to cash in with the title, like the way they used something, something 令 as Chinese title for a lot of historical period costume dramas recently, LOL… To be honest, I haven’t really been paying much attention to Chinese dramas lately and mostly been just reading one BL novel after another the last few weeks, so I need to catch up with a few new dramas’ OST and also lots of new songs being released by some of my favourite singers in the last few weeks!
