Short Drama Daily Top 10 — June 10, 2026

少夫人来自东北 2 opens Day 4 at 1.03 亿 — unchanged from yesterday — while 东北爱情往事 2 wraps its first 24 hours at 935 万 paid plays and enters the lower chart on Day 2. Three new-ish titles in the middle tier are all within 160 万 heat points of each other, the tightest mid-table cluster since late May.

#1 — 少夫人来自东北 2 (Shào fūrén lái zì Dōngběi 2) · Day 4 · 1.03 亿 Cast: 梁雯晶 / 业文 Kevin / 叶璇. Produced by Tinghuadao. The gap between #1 and #2 is 3,065 万 — about 30% wider than yesterday's lead. Heat has stabilised, not climbed, but stabilisation at 1 亿+ on Day 4 is unusual; the title to beat this cycle hit a peak of 9,924 万 on Day 8. The mechanism is a mid-season plot twist: the opening of a storyline around 周家's lost eldest son threads a family-reunion thread underneath the surface-level Northeast comedy — fans who came for the laughs are staying for the emotional payoff 1.

#2 — 宜嫁宜娶 (Yí jià yí qǔ) · Day 3 · 7,035 万 Cast: 赵夕汐 / 王皓祯. Heat is steady at the same figure recorded on Day 2 — the drama gained 159 万 pre-orders before premiere and has held position without dropping 2. The story's draw is structural: two characters in a mutually-agreed contract marriage treating each other as flatmates — no forced jealousy arcs, no third-party antagonists. Audience comments point to the "套被套" scene as the high-engagement moment that first went wide on short clips.

#3 — 仙祖归来 (Xiān zǔ guī lái) · AI animated · 6,299 万 Full title: 仙祖归来:修仙满级回来后，我儿孙满堂了. The lone AI animated drama left in the top 5 after the franchise sequels (聚宝仙盆 S4, 万妖 S6) both exited the chart by June 7. The character model for the protagonist 萧尘 has become a visual talking point in itself — reader comments compare the reclining pose in promo images to conventional action-hero stances and find the contrast funny 1.

#4 — 烬九州 (Jìn jiǔ zhōu) · AI animated · 6,211 万 Rebirth-with-revenge fantasy set in ancient nine kingdoms. Heat is 88 万 behind #3 — the two AI animated titles have been trading positions daily and neither has a clear trajectory edge. Cast: AI voice actors.

#5 — 帝后也疯狂 (Dì hòu yě fēng kuāng) · Day 4 · 6,142 万 Cast: 王云云 / 张庭睿. Soul-swap period comedy, 76 episodes. Weibo tracked a "逆跌" moment on June 9 evening — the lead actor sharing production stills generated engagement that temporarily pushed late-night viewership above Day 3 comparable 2. The soul-swap mechanism gives the story two emotional registers at once: the comedic misidentification plotline and the romance.

#6 — 东北爱情往事 2 (Dōngběi àiqíng wǎngshì 2) · Day 2 · est. entry Cast: 郭宇欣 / 刘浩群. 91 episodes. The chart entry anticipated in yesterday's issue. Day 1 closed with 935.5 万 paid plays and 60.6 万 favorites — below the 1,000 万 mark that analysts were tracking as a threshold, but that figure came with three consecutive hours of +21 万 paid plays per hour from 19:00–22:00 CST, which points to early-evening rather than overnight momentum 3. 252.1 万 pre-orders — a platform record at the time of launch — means the carryover audience is substantial. The production notably went back to Benxi for on-location filming in actual factory-era streetscapes 4.

#7 — 顾先生搭个伙 (Gù xiānsheng dā ge huǒ) · Day 3 · est. Cast: 于雨桐 / 张北淅. Urban "partner-up" romance, premiered June 8. Confirmed 1.9 亿 cumulative paid plays through Day 2 (from June 9 channel memo). Day 3 heat score is not directly confirmed at this run's cut-off.

#8 — 苏太太高调离婚了 (Sū tài tai gāodiào lí hūn le) · Day 9 · est. Female-lead revenge and business drama. Hit 8,158 万 on Day 3 (June 6) at the top of the chart; standard late-week decline has been confirmed across multiple chart cycles — the late-run tail is holding in the lower tier. No fresh cast for the title: the 陌生演员爆款 (unknown-cast breakout) formula that has reoccured since late May 5.

#9 — 潮夜不眠 (Cháo yè bù mián) · Day 5 · est. Cast: 申浩男 / 余茵. Urban rekindled romance: ex-couple who separated six years ago are forced to reconnect. 155 万 pre-orders before launch June 5 6. Adapted from the novel 《分手后的第六年》. Fourth time 申浩男 and 余茵 have co-starred; the CP fan base showed a 12 万 single-day followership gain before premiere.

#10 — 春和景明 (Chūn hé jǐng míng) · Day 5 · est. Cast: 刘萧旭 / 林秋奈. Mansion sweet romance in which the female lead goes undercover to approach a wealthy-family CEO on her father's instruction, then develops genuine feelings. Premiered June 5 alongside 潮夜不眠; first-day flow investment peaked at 145 (vs. 400 for 潮夜不眠 on the same day), suggesting lower launch-day media push but a mid-run retention play 7.

Northeast as setting, not just flavor. Three of the top 10 use Northeast China as a structural location — 少夫人来自东北 2 (南北 culture-clash comedy), 东北爱情往事 2 (Benxi factory-era realism), and 苏太太高调离婚了's audience base which skews toward northern viewers according to aggregator commentary. This is not nostalgia tourism; the dramas actively use regional speech patterns and lived-in physical environments as primary scene-setting, not incidental backdrop.

The AI animated tier is holding at exactly two slots. After franchise sequels exited by June 7, the two remaining AI titles — 仙祖归来 and 烬九州 — have traded places daily but neither has been dislodged by an incoming title. Neither is growing heat; both are hovering around the 6,200 万 mark. If 东北爱情往事 2 accelerates today as expected, it may push one of the two out of the top 5 by tomorrow — which would mark the first time since early May that AI animated dramas collectively hold fewer than two positions in the top 5.

"Boring couple" as a sustainable chart formula. Both 宜嫁宜娶 (#2) and to a lesser extent 春和景明 (#10) are built on the same anti-formula: no kidnappings, no wealthy-family scheming, no jealous rivals. Instead: two people sharing a living space, practical arguments over chores, accidental physical proximity as the primary romantic engine. 宜嫁宜娶's ability to hold 7,035 万 on Day 3 — the same figure it posted on Day 2 — without the typical decay curve suggests the audience for this formula isn't bouncing out mid-series. That's rare enough in this cycle to mark as a structural shift, not a one-off.
