The Sun Rises Like Us

share time: 2025-12-12 06:03:25

Lin Xiaoman, a rookie new media editor, is assigned to cover the "City Sunrise Project"—the renovation of Chaoyang Alley, her childhood neighborhood. There, she runs into Lu Zhao, her once silent crush who vanished abroad without a word years ago. Now the lead landscape architect of the project, Lu Zhao is cold and distant, reawakening Xiaoman’s old grievances. But as they navigate resistance from elderly residents and uncover shared memories (like the sun-shaped keychain he gave her), Xiaoman learns Lu Zhao’s secret: he left to treat his dying mother, and renovating Chaoyang Alley was her final wish. When the first ray of sunrise hits the revamped alley, will their frozen past thaw like the morning mist into something warm?
