Quick lesson: Chinese streaming sites rank shows by a heat index (热度), and breaking 10,000 (破万) means you've got a genuine smash hit. Most actresses would be thrilled with one. Look at her numbers.

Every 10,000-heat run, by peak

Six runs past 10,000 across five dramas. By fan counts, no actress born after 1995 has more. Peaks are each platform's own highest in-site heat (站内最高热度).

Peaks from a fan-made chart (made by @ying0-0, recorded 17 October 2026) that circulates on Weibo and Instagram; the 10,000 marks themselves match Sina and the press reports in Milestones. Where the Mask Ends was still airing when it was recorded.
