Latest Vendetta of An poster features 6 men involved in the empire-changing political intrigue

The soon-to-released Cheng Yi-led Chinese historical mystery thriller The Vendetta of An has dropped a ‘Hidden Killing Intent‘ poster this morning featuring the six men who are involved in the empire-changing political intrigue of this Chinese drama.

Along with the poster, which has Cheng Yi as Xie Huai An front and center, streaming service YOUKU hinted about the plot:

Snow falls over Chang’an as six figures enter the game. With schemes in their hearts and deadly moves concealed in the shadows, every step is a contest of wits.

The ‘Hidden Killing Intent‘ poster also features actors (from left to right) Wang Jin Song as Wu Zhong Heng, Liu Yi Jun as Xiao Wu Yang, Zhang Han Yu as Yan Feng Shan, Cheng Tai Shen as Zhu Zhi Long, and Ni Da Hong as Cai Wen Zong.

What’s this about a December 12th premiere?

As one of the most-anticipated C-dramas of 2025, and with just three weeks of the year left, yes, we are still waiting for a premiere date announcement for the 28-episode series.

We do know it is definitely scheduled for a December release, and with rumors in China still saying Friday, December 12th.

If that does end up being the case (fingers crossed!), and it looks promising due to the continuous number of marketing visuals being released over the last week (see yesterday’s above), we should get an announcement about this in the next few days.

After all, The Vendetta of An got its official distribution license in November so, other than YOUKU finding a streaming slot for it, there shouldn’t be any reason for delay.

I will be back with either more promos (come ooooooonnn, just give us a premiere date!), or an announcement about when this one drops soon. (Update: The Vendetta of An‘s premiere date has been announced as December 12th. Yay!)

Until then, watch the drama’s trailer, which makes this one look hella good!
