Us Beneath the Summer Sun

At twenty-eight, Yang Zhi runs into her high school crush again at a friend’s wedding. To her surprise, he’s an old friend of the groom! Has she acted in so many dramas that she’s started seeing things? But she’s the “Queen of Tragedy.” When has she ever acted in a romance?

For a while, she suspects that the man standing before her can’t possibly be the person she once knew. His looks have changed completely, and so has his personality. She runs, he chases, and in a world this big, she somehow keeps running into him wherever she goes! What a cursed connection!

“We’ve met six times, but you didn’t recognize me the first five.” He silently sulks...

“Director Cheng, I’m really sorry. I’m face-blind, and you look so different from how you did in high school! Did you actually get plastic surgery just for this?”

He’s speechless again. His sincere feelings have been misplaced after all, aaah!

Mutual pining × reunion after years apart × life as entertainment-industry wage slaves. Two unfortunate souls save each other.

A little angst at first, then a happy ending.

An insecure, introverted, depressed sixth-tier actress vs. a scheming, sharp-tongued, devoted up-and-coming director
