To no surprise to anyone who is watching the superb Chinese drama ‘The Princess’s Gambit‘, protagonist Shen Zai Ye (masterfully played by Liu Xue Yi) has already exceeded 10 million character popularity points on Tencent’s streaming platform.
That announcement came via Tencent Video’s Weibo account late last night with a celebratory poster of Liu Xue Yi in the drama’s main role, and along with the comment:
“Calm in the eye of the storm, untouched by the raging waves—the world finds its balance.
Congratulations to #LiuXueYi as ShenZaiYe for surpassing 10 million character popularity points on Tencent Video!
Thank you for all the support, YESers! (@Mr_刘学义 — Liu Xue Yi’s Weibo handle)
The C-drama itself is going gangbusters as well, having just earned 25000 on the Tencent heat index after its latest episode (Episode 7) dropped yesterday.
The Princess’s Gambit is also set to go even higher as social media buzz about the historical romance drama, both in China and internationally, is currently massive and growing.

And that is no shocker either, as both Liu Xue Yi and his co-star Meng Zi Yi, as well as the supporting cast, are doing a phenomenal job in a Chinese drama that is beautifully written and filmed, and that involves some of the most interesting political intrigue.
Watch the first 7 episodes of The Princess’s Gambit internationally on WeTV, with new episodes premiering daily.
