Wan Hua Sin (万花世界): Ju Jingyi's Multiverse Revenge C-Drama — Cast, Plot & What We Know

Ju Jingyi is heading into 12 different universes — and not one of them is safe for the men who wronged her. Here's everything we know about Wan Hua Sin (万花世界), the multiverse revenge fantasy that's already topping anticipation charts before its first teaser drops.

Ju Jingyi (鞠婧祎) is no stranger to landing one of the most-watched roles of the year, and her next project might be her biggest swing yet. Wan Hua Sin — also written as Wan Hua Shi Jie, and unofficially translated as Realm of Blossoms or Hundred Flower World — is the female-led fantasy revenge drama that C-drama fans have been talking about non-stop since the lead role was officially confirmed in April 2025 (after months of Dilraba Dilmurat rumors).

The buzz isn't just hype. The source material has a built-in cult following, the production team has a track record of breakout hits, and the heroine isn't here to fall in love — she's here to settle the score.

What is Wan Hua Sin About?

Wan Hua Sin is adapted from the wildly popular Tencent webtoon Cheating Men Must Die (also linked to the manhua 万花草荒 / Wan Hua Cao Huang). The story is a fast-paced, multi-universe fantasy with one fierce central premise.

Ju Jingyi plays Su Lüxia (苏绿夏), a powerful enforcer recruited by a mysterious system to dive into fictional worlds — roughly twelve different universes across the season — and rewrite the tragic fates of women who were betrayed, manipulated, and discarded by terrible men. Su Lüxia's mission: punish the wrongdoers, deliver overdue justice, and walk out before the next world begins.

It's part Quick Transmigration, part xianxia, part wuxia, and entirely a vehicle for a heroine who doesn't need a male lead to anchor her story.

The Cast: A Heroine-First Structure

This is the most distinctive part of the production: there is no single male lead. Each universe Su Lüxia enters comes with its own romantic and dramatic arc — meaning a rotating cast of male characters, each played by a different actor. Per current reporting, those castings have not yet been publicly confirmed, which is one of the few open questions still circulating on Weibo, Douyin and drama forums.

What is confirmed:

• Female Lead — Ju Jingyi (鞠婧祎) as Su Lüxia
• Production — Stellar Pictures, the team behind the 2022 phenomenon Love Between Fairy and Devil (苍兰诀)
• Source Material — Tencent webtoon Cheating Men Must Die / manhua Wan Hua Cao Huang
• Lead Confirmation Date — April 22, 2025

Rumor watch: Earlier in development, Dilraba Dilmurat (迪丽热巴) was the name most frequently linked to the lead role. Her side never officially confirmed, and the role ultimately went to Ju Jingyi.

Production, Network and Release Window

Coverage gets murky here, so consider this section a mix of confirmed facts and unconfirmed speculation.

• Status — Updated: filming has not yet started. Ju Jingyi is confirmed to begin shooting on May 27, 2026. Earlier 'filming wrapped' reports from late 2025 turned out to be inaccurate.
• Network — Officially confirmed (May 1, 2026 poster): all-net exclusive on Tencent Video, with simulcast on Aurora TV (极光TV). WeTV is expected to be the international window.
• Release year — Locked for 2026, with one tracker listing 2027 as a fallback. No premiere date confirmed.
• Budget tier — Initially discussed as an S+ flagship, later reported to land in the A-tier range — a typical adjustment when a less A-list lead is cast.

Fan Reactions: Mixed, Loud, Already Trending

Across Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Douyin and Reddit's r/CDrama, sentiment is polarized in classic Ju Jingyi fashion.

• The fans say — Su Lüxia is the perfect match for her cool, independent, slightly icy screen persona. Her ancient-style visuals are already among the most-screencapped on Xiaohongshu.
• The skeptics say — Some viewers, particularly on Reddit and Weibo entertainment threads, remain unconvinced about her range, asking whether twelve different emotional arcs in one drama will stretch her too thin.
• The neutral take — Nearly everyone agrees the source material's popularity guarantees viewership at launch. The first teaser will be the real test for visuals and chemistry expectations.

Pre-Release Milestone: 11.15 Million Reservations on Tencent Video

Here's the number that just shut down the conversation. On May 1, 2026, the official 万花世界官微 (Wan Hua Sin official Weibo) confirmed that in-app pre-reservations on Tencent Video had crossed 1115万 — 11.15 million — before a single episode has aired.

For context, that places Wan Hua Sin among the most-reserved upcoming C-dramas of 2026 on Tencent's platform. Pre-reservations are one of the cleanest leading indicators of opening-week traffic — anything past the 1000万 (10 million) line tends to predict a flagship-tier debut.

The milestone poster also locked in two facts that had been swirling on Weibo for months:

• Platform — 全网独播 (all-net exclusive) on Tencent Video, with simulcast on 极光TV (Aurora TV)
• Character name — Ju Jingyi's role is officially 苏绿夏 (Su Lüxia), not the earlier-circulated 苏鹿溪 / Su Luxia variant
• Production banner — 恒星引力 (Hengxing Yinli / Stellar Pictures), 幻想, and 天旋工作室群

敬请期待 — Officially still tagged as 'please stay tuned' on the poster, meaning no premiere date yet. But hitting 11.15 million reservations this far out usually triggers an internal launch-window decision within weeks.

Filming Start: Ju Jingyi Begins Shooting on May 27, 2026

After months of pre-production and casting back-and-forth, Wan Hua Sin finally has a concrete start date. Ju Jingyi is confirmed to begin filming on May 27, 2026 — which means the 11.15 million pre-reservation push from Tencent Video happened before the cameras even rolled.

That's the kind of pre-launch demand most C-dramas only earn after a trailer. For Wan Hua Sin, it raises the stakes on every still, set-leak, and behind-the-scenes (BTS) photo that comes out of the shoot.

What this start date tells us:

• The earlier 'filming wrapped' chatter from late 2025 was almost certainly confused with pre-production / costume tests.
• Realistic release window now shifts later. With a Q3 2026 shoot start, post-production typically lands the premiere in late 2026 at the earliest, more likely early-to-mid 2027 for a flagship-tier xianxia.
• Expect a wave of set photos and 路透 (lùtòu / on-set leaks) on Weibo and Xiaohongshu starting end of May.

Casting Rumor: Chen Fei Yu (Arthur Chen) Linked as Male Lead

Status — Unconfirmed rumor. No official cast card or production statement. Listed here at fan request; treat as speculation.

Fan circles have been linking Chen Fei Yu (陈飞宇) / Arthur Chen to Wan Hua Sin as one of the male leads. The pairing would be visually striking and fits the multiverse structure, where a single actor can carry one arc without committing to the full season.

Until the production publishes an official banner, take this as a rumor — but a popular one worth tracking.

Why This Drama Matters

Wan Hua Sin arrives at a moment when C-drama audiences are openly hungry for female-led, romance-optional storytelling. Hits like The Double (墨雨云间) and Story of Kunning Palace (宁安如梦) proved that revenge-coded heroines can carry massive viewership, and the multiverse format gives the writers a chance to deliver a different sub-genre — palace intrigue, cultivation, modern campus, court drama — every few episodes without losing momentum.

If Stellar Pictures can replicate the world-building polish of Love Between Fairy and Devil, Wan Hua Sin has a credible shot at being one of the defining female-led C-dramas of 2026.

What to Watch For Next

Three things to track in the coming weeks:

• First teaser drop — expected to settle the costume and visual debate instantly.
• Male lead announcements — even staggered casting reveals will set off Weibo trends.
• Platform confirmation — Tencent vs iQiyi will decide where international viewers (via WeTV or iQ.com) actually catch it.

Until then, Wan Hua Sin sits firmly at the top of the 2026 watchlist for anyone who loves a sharp heroine, a moral debt being repaid, and a manhua adaptation that doesn't water down its source.
