Youku has officially announced the release date for its historical fantasy series «The Eternal Fragrance» (千香, 千香引). The 40-episode project stars Ju Jing Yi («Veil of Shadows», «Chinese Paladin 4») and Song Wei Long («The Seven Relics of Omen», «Shine on Me») – this marks their third on-screen collaboration, following the film «I Love Catman» and the 2020 drama «In a Class of Her Own». The plot of «The Eternal Fragrance» unfolds in a world where a meteorite impact gave rise to the Tree of Life – a legendary artifact that grants dominion over the three races: immortals, demons, and humans. The heroine is an orphan from the Qingqiu tribe nicknamed Xiao Bang Chui, which means «Little Stick» (played by Ju Jing Yi), who enrolls in the elite Chufeng Academy. There she meets a seemingly timid young man, Lei Xu Yuan (Song Wei Long), who is actually the heir of the Night Demon clan and approaches her with the intent to kill her and use her power to save his older brother.
Unbeknownst to her, the girl is the incarnation of the ancient divine tree, hunted by all three realms. Over time, Lei Xu Yuan falls in love with Xiao Bang Chui, and now they must together defy fate and restore balance to the three kingdoms.
According to open sources, the production team built around 20,000 square metres of sets, and the visual style of the costumes was inspired by Dunhuang aesthetics. Filming wrapped in April 2024, after which the project sat on the shelf for nearly two years – it was postponed several times, and its working title changed.
