The historical drama “The Vendetta of An” is tentatively scheduled to premiere on December 12, 2025. The series stars Cheng Yi, Liu Yijun, Wang Jinsong, Zhou Qi, and Tong Mengshi. Set during the Wen Cheng era, the story unfolds in Chang’an, where the Tiger Guards have entrenched themselves for years. Their influence has grown deep and pervasive, becoming a hidden threat to the stability of the capital.
At the center of the narrative is Xie Huaian, a county official who receives a secret edict from Emperor Xiao Wuyang. He is urgently summoned to Chang’an with the mission of rooting out corruption and eliminating dangerous factions. The gravest threat comes from General Yan Fengshan, leader of the Tiger Guards, who refuses to relinquish power. Seeking to divide the nation and claim authority for himself, he conceals his forces within the bustling Cangbing Alley of Chang’an, awaiting the right moment to strike.
With the emperor’s support, Xie Huaian forms a team to counter the growing danger. Gu Yu brings loyalty and military strength, Ye Zheng contributes through his mastery of the sword, Bai Wan supports the mission with artistic intelligence, and Xie Ziling adds the insight of a young scholar. Together, they navigate conspiracies and hidden dangers, eventually dismantling Cangbing Alley and thwarting Yan Fengshan’s plans for rebellion. Their efforts restore clarity and peace to the city.
Featuring Cheng Yi and several strong actors, the series promises layered character portrayals, intricate strategy, and a gripping depiction of political tension. If the release proceeds as planned, it is poised to become one of the notable historical dramas closing the year.
