He Yan from Legend of the Female General (aka Zhou Ye) exceeds 50 million in character popularity points
With the last episodes of the Tencent Video drama Legend of the Female General dropping earlier today, is anyone shocked that female lead He Yan, played by Zhou Ye, has now surpassed 50 million in character popularity points on the platform?
From the immense interest the drama and the leads have garnered, both in China and internationally, I know I am definitely not.
The news that He Yan had exceeded 50 million in character popularity was announced by Tencent this morning on their Weibo account, with a pretty visual of He Yan (aka Zhou Ye) and the comment:
#Zhou Ye’s Role “He Yan” Surpasses 50 Million in Character Popularity#
Breaking barriers with resilience and forging ahead with determination. The world is vast—roam freely and unrestrained!
Congratulations to Zhou Ye (@周也yeah) for surpassing 50 million in character popularity points on Tencent Video!
and for Chinese viewers, Tencent reminded:

Head to the #锦月如歌# discussion zone’s confession wall to show your support—keep the momentum going with continuous shoutouts and boost the popularity even higher!
Sure, the streaming platform is definitely trolling for more popularity points for He Yan.
Although, frankly, as she’s one of the most talked-about Chinese drama characters of this entire summer, I doubt they even have to.

Meanwhile, all 36 episodes of Legend of the Female General are now streaming on WeTV internationally — Episodes 1 through 30 for VIP subscribers at the moment, and Episodes 31 through 36 for those who are willing to pay extra for WeTV’s Express access.
The Chinese war-themed drama itself is currently rated a very high 9.1 out of 10 on the platform as well. So yep, it’s a worthwhile watch.
