Loves Ambition 29000 on heat index

Just two days after climbing to 27,000 on Tencent Video’s heat index, Love’s Ambition has now exceeded 29,000 on the heat index — indicating the Chinese drama is already a mega-hit.

Love’s Ambition‘s 29,000 heat index, which comes right after the drama was announced as having the most successful premiere day of the year on Tencent when it hit 27,000, was confirmed this morning with a new visual of leads Zhao Lu Si and William Chan.

A message from Tencent accompanied the visual:

#Love’s Ambition# smashes another record!

It becomes the fastest drama on Tencent Video in 2025 to break 29,000 in popularity index! With its unique premise, disguise succumbs to heartbeat 💖

Now streaming on Tencent Video, it is still trending and making waves!

International ratings for Love’s Ambition

The Chinese drama is also performing extremely well with international viewers, with almost 11,500 users on My Drama List indicating they are watching the drama (a large audience on that Asian drama-focused platform for a Chinese drama), and with 750 of those user currently awarding it a very good 8.2 out of 10.

That score is likely to increase as more people rate the C-drama. (Update, April, 2026: Almost a year later, and Love’s Ambition is rated an even higher 8.4 out of 10 on that platform from more than 31,000 people).

Love’s Ambition is also earning 8.2 out of 10 via IMDB, although only 33 users on that site so far are rating the series.

Finally, over on WeTV where the Chinese drama is officially streaming, and with 1,800 people currently rating Love’s Ambition, the drama is earning a very high 9.4 out of 10.

Congrats then to Zhao Lu Si, William Chan, director Chen Chang, and the rest of the cast and crew, as Love’s Ambition appears to be one of 2025’s most successful dramas.
