A new TV drama adaptation of the popular Chinese novel series "Gui Chui Deng," which literally means "Ghost Blowing Lamp," is set for online release Wednesday, April 1, according to the official Weibo account of video streaming platform Tencent Video.

Titled "Long Ling Mi Ku" and known as "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost Caverns" in English, the 18-episode show will be broadcast on Tencent Video with three episodes every Wednesday evening.
