William Chan’s ‘The Treasured Bajia Book’ earns 1 million reservations and C-drama is still filming

The upcoming Chinese historical adventure thriller The Treasured Bajia Book, which only began filming on May 31st, 2025 at Hengdian Film and Television City has already exceeded 1 million reservations on YOUKU.

An odd state of affairs you might think, considering it will likely be at least mid-2026 before The Treasured Bajia Book premieres.

But, when you know The Treasured Bajia Book is the sequel to the popular 2016 drama The Mystic Nine, having so many people reserving the C-drama already suddenly doesn’t sound so strange.

In celebration of the already 1 million reservations, YOUKU released a new visual (above) along with the message:
