Short Drama Daily Top 10 — June 2, 2026

The chart settled into a standoff on June 2: 《时光和你都很美》 holds a narrow heat lead at the top of the 热播榜 while 《姐，他真是我姐夫》 retook #1 on the 热搜榜 — the two dramas split the day's attention. Meanwhile, two AI-animated titles kept their grip in the top five, and 《一家三口在同班 2》 (launched midnight May 31) began its climb toward the upper half of the chart in its second full day.

#1 — 《时光和你都很美》 (campus romance, Hongguo exclusive) Day 5 on the chart and still no structural sign of decay. Lead 陈添祥 holds the top slot in the June 2 actor popularity board at 947 万 popularity points, with 767 万 two-week viewers — numbers that translate directly into sustained daily plays.1 The drama's blueprint — a childhood arranged marriage, a gaming identity concealed from the other party, and slow-burn campus reunion — is not new, but the execution has generated unusually broad viewer retention: first-day heat of 9,924 万 set a campus-genre record on Hongguo, and the score has stayed above 9,000 万 since.2 Author 叶非夜's novel adaptation gave the drama a pre-existing reader base; it's also her second concurrent chart entry (《沉乔未晚》 holds #7), which is a first for a single IP writer.

#2 — 《姐，他真是我姐夫》 (urban comedy, Hongguo exclusive) Nine days in, the drama has not left the top two. The setup — a time-traveling younger brother crashes into his future brother-in-law's office, announces the future relationship out loud, and sets off a workplace-social-death chain — kept the show at peak heat of 9,453 万 on day one and has since settled into a durable mid-8000 万 range.3 Lead 沉思 remains the chart's most-viewed actor: 1,036 万 two-week viewers puts him first in the viewer-count category even though 陈添祥 leads raw popularity.1 This is the third consecutive collaboration between 沉思 and 韩雨彤.

#3 — 《万妖图录传第六季》 (AI-animated xianxia series) The sixth installment of this franchise represents the only serialized AI-animated title with consistent top-five chart performance through late May and into June. The Tang Dynasty aesthetic, ensemble demon roster, and fight choreography quality were cited in viewer comments as the differentiator from lower-cost AI 漫剧 competitors.3 The franchise's staying power through Hongguo's May platform-payout cut (from ¥30–100/万播 to ¥5–10/万播) is a data point for what separates viable AI 漫剧 from the 1,718 titles Hongguo removed in Q1 for quality violations.

#4 — 《拆 CP 不成，反成爸妈心尖宠》 (fantasy-family, Hongguo exclusive) Star 至春禾 holds the actor chart's #3 slot at 879 万 popularity; co-star 张晋宜 follows at #6 with 811 万.1 The drama's premise — a neglected daughter time-travels to her parents' youth intending to break up the couple, ends up being doted on instead — generated a distinctive viewer response: sustained high share rate rather than simple binge behavior. First-day heat of 8,627 万 placed it second on the new-drama chart on its May 30 debut.4

#5 — 《聚宝仙盆之杂灵根才是真 BOSS 第四季》 (AI-animated xianxia series) Another multi-season franchise holding ground against true-person competition. The male-lead power-fantasy formula — a cultivation underdog who fakes his death and bluffs his way into progressively stronger factions — is the most replicable genre template in AI 漫剧, but this series has managed to maintain heat scores in the 7,000 万 range across four seasons.3 With AI-animated titles now making up 51 of the top 99 on Hongguo's cumulative 热播榜, the franchise model is doing what single-run AI 漫剧 mostly cannot: retain viewers across releases.5

#6 — 《我才不会爱上你呢》 (urban romance, Hongguo exclusive) The third drama featuring 陈添祥 (who also stars in #1), here opposite 李柯以. The amnesia-and-forced-cohabitation premise is structurally conventional, but the chemistry between leads and a first-day heat of 7,335 万 gave it enough momentum for a multi-week chart stay.2 陈添祥's simultaneous presence in #1 and #6 is notable, though unlike the 沉思 dual-#1/2 pattern from May 24–28, the two-title spread here doesn't constitute a full chart lock.

#7 — 《沉乔未晚》 (urban romance, Hongguo exclusive) 郭宇欣's second concurrent chart entry (she's also female lead in #1), playing a media professional. The drama opened with 7,542 万 on day 1 and has settled into a longer-tail run across 11 days.2 The controversy around 郭宇欣's day-prior promotional appearance for a competing drama 《渐染》 — which the producer 叶非夜 publicly criticized as algorithm sabotage — has if anything kept viewer attention on the show: 郭宇欣 sits at #4 in the actor popularity chart.1

#8 — 《一家三口在同班 2》 (time-travel family comedy, Hongguo exclusive) The sequel to the 9.2-billion-play first season launched at midnight May 31 with 330 万 pre-orders — the highest franchise sequel pre-order figure in Hongguo history. Day 2 data is unavailable at publication time, but the first-hour unlock count of 141,000 paid episodes suggests it will enter the top five within 2–3 days.6 Cast returns intact (张翅, 王小亿, 王译磊), and the setting shifts the premise from high school to college.

#9 — 《爱在久别重逢时》 (urban drama, Hongguo exclusive) Now at day 22, the drama has held chart position since early May with lead 沉思 as the shared backbone between this and the still-climbing #2. Heat peaked at 8,808 万 around day 4, and daily scores have stepped down gradually; at this stage of decay it functions mainly as a floor anchor below the fresher entries.7

#10 — 《花轿一掀，侯府天翻地覆》 (period drama, Hongguo exclusive) Three days in, this period-revenge title follows a female lead who is waylaid on her wedding day by her fiancé's rival and ends up married into a marquis household instead. The premise stacks a marriage-of-convenience setup onto an antagonist-punishment arc without needing a male savior — the structural pattern that has driven the most durable women-led short dramas since early 2026.3 Actor 一航 holds #10 on the actor chart.1

Two-season AI franchise as the new survival strategy. The AI-animated titles that survived Hongguo's May platform-payout collapse (¥100/万播 → ¥5–10/万播) are both multi-season franchises (#3 and #5), not single-run productions. New stand-alone AI 漫剧 that appeared at #3 on May 31's 新剧榜 — 《聚宝仙盆》's fourth season — and 《万妖图录传》's sixth season both have viewer bases carried over from prior installments. The pattern suggests the AI 漫剧 business case has effectively bifurcated: established franchise titles can absorb the payout cut; single-episode launches at lower quality thresholds cannot.5

Three actors in simultaneous multi-slot positions. On June 2, 陈添祥 holds #1 and #6, 郭宇欣 holds #1 and #7, and 沉思 holds #2 and #9. Each pairing has a different structural cause: 陈添祥 and 郭宇欣's overlap is because both star in 《时光和你都很美》, meaning their personal solo projects (#6 and #7) are effectively riding the same peak-visibility wave. 沉思's split is a decay pattern — a massive #2 new hit running alongside a three-week-old drama still holding a tail position. All three simultaneously multi-charting actors made the actor popularity top 5 on June 2.1

IP-to-sequel momentum as a counterweight to churn. 《一家三口在同班 2》's 330 万 pre-orders and day-1 paid unlock behavior are the clearest signal yet that the micro-drama market has generated genuine franchise loyalty — viewers who track IP across seasons, not just titles that appear in their algorithm feed. On the supply side, Hongguo's June 2026 B-level project startup fund (¥20–30 万) specifically targets sequel production as a quality-retention mechanism. The sequel pipeline adds a structural brake on pure churn economics in a market where the standard lifecycle is two weeks from debut to exit.5
