Blank on the Tip of the Tongue

The Taste of Blankness tells the story of Sang Luo, a pastry chef who has lost her sense of taste, and Zhou Xubai, a calculating tech founder. Their story begins with a one-year marriage of convenience, bringing them together in the empty spaces of each other's lives. Two people who armor themselves with reason to hide their loneliness unexpectedly discover a language of emotion beyond the senses amid flour and frosting in the kitchen. Together, they found Between the Blanks, and through creating imperfect things, learn to embrace their genuine vulnerability. When their contract ends, they finally understand: the deepest flavor is not on the tongue, but in those moments when they dare to drop their masks and share the empty spaces in their lives. This is an urban fable about loss and rebuilding, contracts and true affection, and creating limitless possibilities within the constraints of life.
