When Destiny Brings the Demon hits 9500 on YOUKU’s heat index – 2 more celebratory posters released

Michelle Topham August 18, 2025

9500 on YOUKU heat index Destiny Brings the Demon

After climbing from 6500 to 8000 on YOUKU’s heat index in just 24 hours, Chinese fantasy drama When Destiny Brings the Demon has now exceeded 9500 on the platform’s heat index.

Meaning it only has another 500 points to earn before it passes the magical 10000 on YOUKU — a milestone that indicates a drama is a big success.

In response to the news When Destiny Brings the Demon has passed 9500, YOUKU released another beautiful poster (above), this time featuring most of the main and lead supporting cast, with a message that tagged each actor’s Weibo account:
