The broadcast schedule for "Ice Lake Rebirth" has been moved from its original date in early February 2026 to April. This change is primarily due to a scheduling conflict between Tencent Video and iQIYI and has nothing to do with the quality of the cast or the drama itself.
### I. Core Reason for Schedule Change
**Platform Broadcast Conflict** The drama is set to be broadcast on both Tencent Video ("Goose") and iQIYI ("Peach"). Tencent initially planned to release the show in February; however, iQIYI needs to prioritize its own exclusive drama during that month, making it impossible for both platforms to air it simultaneously. Since Tencent could not adjust the schedule for its costume drama in March, negotiations were ultimately postponed to April.
**Competitive Pressure During the Spring Festival** The original February slot would have faced tough competition from strong dramas, such as "Tang Palace Case." By moving the schedule to April, the team aims to avoid the risk of losing audience interest, although it will still face competition from new dramas like "Three-line Mystery Return."
### II. Actor’s Public Image and Drama Adjustments
**Controversy Surrounding Huang Yangtian** The leading actress, Huang Yangtian, sparked discussions in 2025 following the "sky-high price earring incident." However, it has been clarified that the earrings were imitations valued at 300 yuan, and her father's legal issues have been addressed. The rescheduling of the show is unrelated to this incident. The filming delay was due to Huang Yangtian needing to complete outstanding scenes related to her studies, and she has never been replaced in the lead role.
**Publicity Strategy Adjustment** To minimize risk, the playwright has decided to downplay the emotional aspects in marketing, instead emphasizing the power plot surrounding "Zhuge Yue," played by Li Yunrui, and choosing not to promote any on-screen couple hype.
### III. Impact of the New Schedule and Market Response
**Changes in the Competitive Landscape** **Advantages:** The new schedule avoids the intense competition of the Spring Festival, allowing for a more concentrated buildup of audience interest. **Challenges:** However, in April, it will face off against "Three-line Mystery Return." Additionally, the real-life relationship between leading actors Li Yunrui and Meng Ziyi, who is also part of the cast, may generate buzz.
**Audience Attitude Differentiation** Li Yunrui's fans have initiated the "Cloud Charter" campaign to show their support and keep excitement alive. Conversely, some netizens have expressed frustration over the repeated delays, joking about the ongoing changes in the broadcast schedule, while others are concerned that public opinion may negatively affect the audience's reception.
### IV. Core Information and Expectations of the Drama
**Plot and Production Highlights** As a sequel to "The Legend of Chu Qiao," the story continues to follow Chu Qiao (played by Huang Yangtian) and Zhuge Yue (played by Li Yunrui) as they team up against the darkened character Yan Xun (played by Zhang Kangle) after the Battle of Ice Lake. Director Li Haojiji has insisted on live shooting in the Qinghai Plateau, and elements such as war damage makeup and ice lake scenes have received critical acclaim.
**Focus of Actor’s Performance** Li Yunrui’s portrayal of a war-damaged character has generated significant hype, with the topic #LiYunruiZhugeYue garnering over 1 billion views. Huang Yangtian’s transition from "Little Chuqiao" to the main heroine is seen as a pivotal moment in her career.
### V. Risk Considerations
Currently, the information about the schedule change is based on industry leaks, and neither Tencent Video nor iQIYI has officially confirmed it. Should the platforms recoordinate, further adjustments may still happen.
I have read the entire novel, and I have to disagree with the claim that the script for "Rebirth" is faithful to the original story. Whaaaaaat?
In the novel, Chu Qiao spends many years away from Daxia, Yanbei, and Zhuge Yue. She only encounters Yan Xun face-to-face once, and that happens quite late in the story. Additionally, she never has a red spider in the novel and supernatural powers. She transmigrated from modern China to the body of a 7-year-old girl. The ending is also significantly different. It seems that the author of this article did not fully read the novel. Anyway I am curious to watch season 2. But I already miss Shawn Dou….
Also, If they follow this script, there will be no season 3.
Li Yunrui, Huang Yang Tiantian and Zhang Kangle's new drama "Rebirth of Ice Lake" was changed from February to April. The drama was postponed because of Huang Yang Tiantian's public opinion. https://weibo.com/6918415999/QpGqiBHqB
I am feeling sad today. I keep thinking about this martyr who endured abuse for over 12 years. I reflect on the last months of his life when bruises on his face covered by makeup, neck, and arms—most likely everywhere else, though hidden from view. I remember how thin he had become, practically a skeleton in his final year. They let him starve to keep him weak; he only ate when he was on set, almost like someone with bulimia. I ponder the "what ifs" and consider how lonely he must have felt. I think about his last moments—ravaged by rape, beaten and threatened, forced to witness the brutal killing of his dogs.
Yu Menglong, I hope your rapists and assassins will die miserably.
Unfortunately, I am very distressed knowing that at this moment, dozens of actors, actresses, and singers are experiencing the same hell. I think of all the people who have been killed for their organs.
However, it's important to note that some actors, actresses, and singers are aiding these criminals—some to save their own lives, and others because they have lost their souls in this corrupt industry.
I do not want this to be buried with time and forgotten... ==========================================
The 17-Person Death List of Yu Menglong’s Brutal Killing Yu was nothing more than a slave under his own agent’s control — no freedom, monitored 24/7, no money, living in a mold-infested shabby room, wearing cheap clothes from Taobao. #justiceforYuMenglong
1.1 Xin Qi — illegitimate son of CCP leader Cai Qi (original name Xin Xiaolong/Xin Xiaoxiong) - rapist and murderer
1.2 Cai Yijia — (original name Cai Zhengjun) son of Cai Qi, a murderer and rapist
2. Fang Li — director, once admitted publicly that he was sexually assaulted by multiple people in childhood - rapist
3. Jiguang Guang — (original name Li Ming) screenwriter, murderer and rapist
4. Cheng Qingsong — on Sept 10 posted a Weibo picture, blood visible on his shoes
5. Song Yiren — madam, pimp, organizer… the one who laughed and yelled DO IT DOIT when he was raped… she one who filmed his rape and killing live with her phone. Was a major bully in Canada (ex-classmate's testimony). Quickly escaped China, posting pictures as if all is fine. She lost many contracts after Yu Menglong's death, males actors and media refuse to work with her either afraid to be boycotted or afraid of her connection or many share the same fate as Yu Menglong
6. Yuan Ziwen & Yuan Zihao — Peking University twin influencers, Song Yiren’s close aides
7. Gao Taiyu — posted on Weibo about Yu’s death before the news was officially released - the one seen on video raping him
8. Tian Hairong — Xin Qi’s aunt, widow of Dalian Shide’s Xu Ming (deceased), billionaire who thrived on “casting couch” deals… the one who wanted Yu Menglong to fuck her
9. Jiao Maiqi — on Sept 10 his Douyin video showed the crime scene reflection in his glasses
10. Fu Zicha — Xiaohongshu user “Kelly Yuan,” descendant of a CCP founding leader
11. Fan Shiqi — lured Yu to the gathering, the one who cut him open and admitted on Weibo he killed him because he deserved it (post now down but read by millions)
12. Zhou Hao — film company CEO, murderous demon
13. Zhang Jiawei — from Zhouge, Jiangsu, murderer
14. Hu Haiyang — director, murderer
15. Du Qiang (aka Gavin Du) — Yu’s assistant, enforcer, spy; constantly bullied Yu, even stole the down jacket meant for him. Yu menglong feared him. Many pictures of Yu with bruises. Suspected that he let Yu Menglong starve and the reason why he weighed 55kg for 6’3… ex army, high suspicion he was a trained assassin. Left chi a in a hurry. Suspicion went to Thailand to have a plastic surgery.
I found a few chapters written by the scriptwriter, who is also the creator of this story. However, she stopped halfway and never completed it. Fortunately, we don’t miss much since she only transcribed what we see on the screen, with nothing new added.
