Xiao Jue (played by Cheng Lei), the male lead of the ongoing Chinese war-themed drama Legend of the Female General has just hit 10 million in character popularity points.

That milestone was announced by Tencent Video earlier today, along with a comment primarily targeting Chinese viewers.

That comment says:

#Cheng  Lei’s Character “Xiao Jue” Popularity Surpasses 10 Million#

“With courage as ink and war flames sweeping the clouds”

Congratulations to Cheng Lei (@丞磊) for surpassing 10 million character popularity points on Tencent Video!

Xiao Jue’s exclusive dynamic avatar pack has been unlocked!

Head to the表白墙 (confession wall) in the #锦月如歌# (Jin Yue Ru Ge) discussion section to show your support—keep the momentum going with passionate posts to help boost his popularity points.

Meanwhile, He Yan, the female lead of Legend of the Female General played by Zhou Ye, already reached 10 million character popularity points last week.

A new Legend of the Female General celebratory poster was also released by Tencent Video featuring Cheng Lei as Xiao Jue (above).

The Chinese drama itself now has 18 episodes available to watch on WeTV for VIP subscribers, while Express viewers are able to watch up to Episode 19.

There is also an English-dubbed version, although that is only available up to Episode 14 so far.
