Lol, don't assume. Don't expect anything about that.
Don't forget this is under youku, favorite to shelves dramas, are you first time to watch a youku drama. They are worst into releasing dramas, so don't assume that will air mid 2026, lol.
license was passed for 40 episodes and unless there are some reason they won't cut, i can't say exactly because…
You still can’t be sure about that.
Other dramas were already licensed, but the platform still reduced the episode count later on.
A recent example is Love Story in the 1970s, which was licensed for 30 episodes but was later cut by one episode and now has 29.
Blood River was also licensed for 40 episodes, but its episode count was later reduced.
This shows that even if a drama is already licensed, it doesn’t guarantee the final episode count, as platforms can still edit the drama and cut episodes afterward.
Why most iQIYI drama approved quickly.

Look at the previous transmigration drama, are you new to c-drama???
You didn't read the highlights for This drama either??? All your question is already there just read it carefully.
Look at the comment section
Yhe donghua version is also from the novel.
Don't forget this is under Youku the worst platform ever.
Don't forget youku always change they mind to all possible airing schedule.
So focus on your watchlist first Don't focus on upcoming drama From youku.
Check your Weibo, lol.
Feb is a rumor not confirmed, you can't even see the official announcement from dual platform drama.
Rebirth is a dual platform drama MEANS it's produced by iQIYI and Tencent Video, so both of them must have available schedule.
iQIYI already airing their S+ costume drama which is How Dare You, that drama is already a rumor long time ago to air in February.
Hope you always aware of everything??? Always check Weibo.
Hedi already done costume fitting few days ago.
Also Hedi and Ziyi already a new drama filming included on their feb schedule.
