Coroner’s Diary hits 2 million pre-orders as Ao Rui Peng and Landy Li C-drama premieres next week

Michelle Topham July 6, 2025

Coroners Diary earns 2 million reservations

With the latest Ao Rui Peng drama, Coroner’s Diary, dropping on iQIYI next week, don’t be too surprised to learn the upcoming historical mystery series has just passed the 2 million reservations mark.

That follows on from the 1 million pre-orders it had already earned by June 23rd – doubling the number of people interested in the Chinese drama in under two weeks.

That feat was announced on iQIYI’s Weibo account earlier today, along with a very pretty celebratory poster of main leads Landy Li (Love of Nirvana) and Ao Rui Peng (The Seven Relics of Ill Omen).

The pair are obviously in the middle of some kind of investigation, as he is inhaling the smell of something on a paper she is proffering to him.

A message from iQIYI was also released via their Weibo page saying:

#Coroner’s Diary Surpasses 2 Million pre-orders#”

Congratulations to #CoronersDiary# for exceeding 2 million pre-orders! Thank you for the support from all our “snow leopard” fans!

Amidst the turmoil of the imperial court and a storm of mysteries, strange cases await resolution.

On July 16th, tune in to iQIYI and join Qin Wan (played by Landy Li) and Yan Chi (played by Ao Rui Peng) on their journey to uncover the truth and clear the unjustly accused.

Let the truth no longer remain hidden!

Coroner’s Diary also co-stars Yu Cheng En (City of Romance) and Shen Yu Jie (The Fearless).

Other promotional visuals released for the mystery drama include the two character posters of the two leads, which came out last week.

UPDATE: Character visuals drop for Landy Li and Ao Rui Peng’s characters in C-drama Coroner’s Diary
