Give me a seo optimized, high ctr titles based on this Costume fantasy drama Thousand Nights (千夜奇谭 / Qian ye Qitan) is set to begin filming on August 15, starring Li Landi and He Yu.
The project, adapted from the popular manhua Psychic Princess (通灵妃 / Tong Ling Fei) by creator Meat (肉肉 / Rourou), is a costume fantasy romance. It is directed by Zhao Yilong, known for Love Game in Eastern Fantasy (LGIEF).
According to reports circulating among C-drama watchers, the story centers on a psychic outcast who marries a prince, with elements of romance and mysteries (including supernatural or ghost-related intrigue). The original manhua follows Qian Yunxi, the eldest daughter of the prime minister who has possessed supernatural abilities since childhood and was regarded as ominous, leading to her isolation. At 16 she is substituted for her younger sister in a marriage to the cold, eccentric, and rumored-cruel Prince Ye (Ye Youming). The pair navigate their relationship amid court intrigue, psychic elements, and various challenges.
Promotional or early stills accompanying the announcement show the leads in period costume: one features a woman in elegant white traditional robes with an ornate updo and hair ornaments, and the other depicts a man in layered robes with a red inner layer, wearing a large traditional woven hat amid heavy rain.
The manhua itself has previously been adapted into a donghua (anime) series and a vertical short-form live-action drama. This new full-scale costume project marks a higher-profile live-action take. Earlier rumors around the production had floated various male leads alongside Li Landi, but recent updates specifically pair her with He Yu under Zhao Yilong’s direction, with filming startup confirmed for mid-August.
Fans of the source material and the actors are already expressing anticipation for the blend of romance, fantasy, and mystery in a period setting. As with most early-stage C-drama announcements, further official details on the full cast, production company specifics, and exact episode count or platform may emerge closer to or during filming.
