Overseasidol.com — Chinese historical romance drama “The First Jasmine” officially premiered on Tencent Video on June 9, 2026, quickly attracting attention from viewers and drama enthusiasts across Asia.
In addition to its Tencent Video release, The First Jasmine also made its television debut on CCTV-8.
Starring Bai Lu and Cheng Lei, the series combines romance, political intrigue, revenge, and mystery in a compelling story set against the backdrop of an ancient kingdom.
Adapted from Feng Qing’s popular novel Sheng Shi Di Fei, the drama follows Ye Li, the eldest daughter of the Ye family.
After spending eight years isolated in Lishan, she finally gains the opportunity to return to society through an arranged royal marriage to Prince Ding, Mo Xiuyao, a once-powerful nobleman whose life has fallen into decline due to a disability affecting his legs.
Although she enters a struggling royal household, Ye Li refuses to be defeated by circumstances.
Using her intelligence and determination, she begins restoring order within the prince’s residence, investigates unresolved cases from the past, and supports Mo Xiuyao in overcoming both physical and emotional hardships.
At the same time, she secretly pursues the truth behind the tragedy that destroyed Lishan years earlier.
Initially, Mo Xiuyao remains suspicious of Ye Li’s intentions because of his own painful past.
However, their relationship gradually transforms from mutual distrust into a powerful partnership built on loyalty and trust.
Together, they confront dangerous political enemies, including Empress Dowager Guo Jin and Marquis Muyang, while navigating a web of conspiracies threatening the stability of the kingdom.
The story becomes even more intense with the involvement of Mo Jingli, Ye Li’s childhood friend and a prince with ambitions of seizing power.
His hidden schemes add another layer of tension to the drama’s already complex political landscape.
As the plot unfolds, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao successfully uncover long-buried secrets, clear the prince’s family name, expose those responsible for past injustices, and help the young emperor secure his position on the throne.
Their journey ultimately leads them toward a brighter future together.
