Tencent just held its annual conference and essentially doused everyone with a firehose of drama news. They discussed so many projects! So I decided to round up a few (lol) that I thought looked interesting...

5.9/10 Stars: A story of rebirth and revenge that gets tangled in its own web, but at least manages to still look good while doing so. Starring: Chen Duling and Zhou Yi Ran
