Entry notes
#1 — 少夫人来自东北 2 (Shaofuren Laizi Dongbei 2) · Day 5
Stars: Liang Wenjing, Ye Xuanke (Kevin), Ye Xuan · Produced by Tinghualao · 97 episodes
Heat slipped from a midnight reading of 1.03 亿 to 9,854 万 by afternoon — the first time since Day 1 the title has dropped below the nine-figure mark. That's still dominant: no other title was within 1,700 万, and the gap over the next two entrants remained wider than the combined scores of anything below #4. 1
The Day 5 decompression is structurally normal after an 11,852 万 launch day. The more revealing signal is actress Liang Wenjing (梁雯晶) spending her fourth straight day atop Hongguo's actor popularity chart — platforms typically only show this kind of sustained actor-heat alignment for dramas where audience engagement, not just raw launch numbers, is driving the residual views. 2
The second season picks up where the first left off: northeast China's Qian Xiaohui (梁雯晶) and her Malaysian-born fiancé Zhou Hexuan (业文 Kevin) return to Heilongjiang for a wedding — generating a new round of north-south cultural collision comedy, this time augmented by a subplot about Zhou's long-lost elder brother who turns out to have grown up in the Qian family's own neighborhood as an adopted son. The family-reunion thread has added emotional weight that the first season's "fish out of water" premise lacked.
#2 — 东北爱情往事 2 (Dongbei Aiqing Wangshi 2) · Day 2
Stars: Guo Yuxin, Liu Haoqun · Produced by Shanghai Landian Xiaoju · 91 episodes · Premiered June 9
The afternoon snapshot placing 宜嫁宜娶 at #6 is the most direct evidence that 东北爱情往事 2 surged hard into the top tier on Day 2. 3 The sequel to Dongbei Aiqing Wangshi: Shanhun Meigui — which accumulated 10 亿+ plays and became the first short drama to air on Eastern China TV's primetime slot — launched June 9 carrying the platform's all-time pre-order record: 242.9 万 registrations. 4
Set in northeast China in the early 2000s, the drama follows married couple Lu Binghe (刘浩群) and Yang Chunrong (郭宇欣) as they navigate business rivals and local corruption. The show's signature formula: close-the-door arguments stay internal; any threat from outside gets a united front. Day 2 surges of this intensity are typical for IP sequels with large committed audiences who time-shifted their viewing into Day 2. Channel memory records Day 1 as ending at 935.5 万 paid plays — an anomalously low Day 1 for a 252 万-preorder title that makes the Day 2 surge look even larger by contrast.
#3 — 宜嫁宜娶 (Yi Jia Yi Qu) · Day 5
Stars: Zhao Xichi, Wang Haozhen
Dropped from an overnight #2 to the #3 range as 东北爱情往事 2's Day 2 surge pushed through. The drama's formula — contract marriage, no dramatic relatives, heat built from domestic moments like fitting a duvet cover — is demonstrably durable: five days in, it is still pulling higher heat than dramas that launched with louder opening weekends. Audience behavior on the platform suggests the viewership skews toward "finish-at-own-pace" completion rather than binge-watch, which tends to produce flatter but longer heat curves.
#4 — 仙祖归来 (Xianzu Guilai) · Day 10+
AI animated 漫剧
Still holding in the mid-6,000 万 tier for a tenth-plus day. A 60-year-old grandfather returns with 600 years of cultivation power to find his son bedridden and three grandchildren going hungry; he uses immortal techniques to engineer a family revival. The multi-generational family premise gives this AI drama broader demographic reach than pure male-lead xianxia revenge plots — the audience is not just teenage male cultivation-fantasy fans. 5
#5 — 烬九州 (Jin Jiuzhou) · Day 10+
AI animated 漫剧
The companion AI animated title that has tracked just below 仙祖归来 for two weeks. Both are holding in the 6,000 万–6,300 万 range with no meaningful acceleration. The AI animated tier has now stabilized at exactly two slots — down from the franchise AI bloc (聚宝仙盆 S4, 万妖 S6) that occupied three to four positions in early June. These two titles appear to have fully captured the platform's current appetite for AI animated content, creating a structural floor that new AI animated entrants would have to exceed, not merely match.
#6 — 帝后也疯狂 (Dihou Ye Fengkuang) · Day 5
Stars: Wang Yunyun, Zhang Tingrui · 76 episodes · Period / soul-swap comedy
Launched June 6 as a soul-swap comedy where a vengeful empress and a destructive emperor from a previous life are reborn in each other's bodies. Wang Yunyun plays the empress-in-a-male-body, tossing her old enemy into a cold palace; Zhang Tingrui plays the emperor trapped in the empress's form, attempting to escape while harem politics close in. Audience shorthand: "female A, male O" (女 A 男 O) — a dynamic that has generated sustained repeat viewing. Holding in the 5,900 万 tier by Day 5 with no franchise support is a strong retention signal. 6
#7 — 顾先生搭个伙 (Gu Xiansheng Da Ge Huo) · Day 3
Modern romance · Hongguo · Premiered June 8
A new modern-romance entrant that reached 1.9 亿 cumulative paid plays through its first two days. The "搭个伙" premise (roughly: "let's make do together") is a softer version of the forced-cohabitation formula — less contract, more mutual convenience. Held in the chart's lower half through Day 3 with stable trajectory.
#8 — 将军请自重 (Jiangjun Qing Zizhu) · Day 5+
Stars: Cai Xinyang, Liang Wenjing · Period romance
The other Liang Wenjing title — making her the only actress in this chart simultaneously holding two slots. She plays a widow who survives three years on a tofu stall after her sickly husband dies, only for his younger brother to return from war as a decorated general and insist on marrying her. The "taboo / widow remarriage" premise has built a persistent niche audience; heat in the 5,600 万 range is lower than her flagship title but stable. 7
#9 — 苏太太高调离婚了 (Su Taitai Gaodiao Lihun Le) · Day 9
Stars: Wu Fan, Sun Maofeng · Modern romance
Day 9 in the chart, now declining. This drama was #1 on June 7 before 少夫人来自东北 2 displaced it. Holding at estimated 5,500 万 on Day 9 is long-tail retention — it no longer dominates but hasn't fully exited. The fact that two different chart-toppers (苏太太 then 少夫人) have been active simultaneously signals a chart cycle where the replacement drama arrives before the incumbent fully decays, sustaining overall platform heat.
#10 — 春和景明 (Chun He Jing Ming) · Day 5
Sweet romance · Hongguo
Entered the chart June 7 (Day 2 in the June 8 report) and has maintained the #10 area across five days. "Mansion sweet romance" framing — no overt conflict, two people learning each other's habits — shares category with 宜嫁宜娶 but at a smaller scale. Both titles coexisting in the same chart confirms the "unhurried comfort" romance segment is large enough to support multiple concurrent titles without cannibalizing each other.
Three patterns across today's Top 10
Northeast as genre contract, not geographic label. Three titles with northeast framing occupy the top two slots and slot #8 — and they are not just sharing a setting. They share a product promise: warmth over drama, mutual loyalty over rivalry, regional dialect humor, working-class texture. That's a legible genre specification now, as clear to Hongguo's audience as "xianxia" or "rebirth romance." Audience fluency with this contract is what allows 东北爱情往事 2 to surge on Day 2 with minimal promotional noise — the audience knew exactly what it was getting.
The AI animated tier has found its ceiling. 仙祖归来 and 烬九州 have held in the 6,000 万–6,300 万 range for over a week without meaningful acceleration. This is not collapse — both titles are sustaining. But neither is growing, and no new AI animated titles have entered the chart to challenge them since the franchise bloc (聚宝仙盆, 万妖) exited in early June. The tier has compressed to exactly two slots and appears fully allocated. Hongguo's April decision to withhold 保底 guarantees from non-premium AI scripts is likely creating a supply bottleneck that prevents new AI animated titles from reaching the production quality needed to displace these two incumbents.
The Day 2 surge test begins now. 东北爱情往事 2 just produced one of the sharpest Day 2 heat surges in the current chart cycle, consistent with the pattern of high-preorder IP sequels where committed audiences hold back Day 1 views and surge in bulk on Day 2. The question is whether it can hold that momentum into Day 3 and beyond — the first season's long-tail trajectory (10 亿+ plays, TV broadcast deal) set a high bar. If the surge holds, tomorrow's #1 slot is genuinely contestable for the first time in five days. If it fades, 少夫人来自东北 2 will absorb its ninth or tenth day of dominance going into the weekend.
