When a seed of well-intentioned lies blossoms into true love under the midsummer sun — Never-Ending Summer, produced by Mango TV, Hunan Satellite TV, and Mango Excellent Media, directed by Hsu Chao-jen and Huang Chang-tso, and starring Bao Shang'en and Zhou Keyu, officially premieres today (June 16, 2026) on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV.

Adapted from Tian Cuyu's Jinjiang Literature City novel Fall

The story follows Zhou Wan, a girl who deliberately approaches the rebellious Lu Xixiao to fund her gravely ill grandmother's surgery. She feigns innocence, calculating every move — yet what she never planned was tasting genuine love in the face of his unreserved sincerity. She thought she could see the "scheme" through, only to find her own heart slipping into the game.

Lu Xixiao, the notorious campus wildcard, wraps himself in the armor of an untamable playboy. But beneath that reckless exterior lies the detachment and fragility left by a broken family. More afraid of being abandoned than anyone, he preempts rejection with indifference. He sees through Zhou Wan's disguise from the very first moment — yet chooses silence and protection. For the first time, the boy who never stays for anyone begins to dismantle his walls for a girl.

One is soft outside but steel inside, step by calculated step, only to lose her own heart first. The other is wild outside but wounded inside, seeing through everything yet willing to walk into the trap. It's this mirror-image contrast that makes their encounter, from the very beginning, something far beyond a simple youthful spark.

The story stretches from campus to career, spanning a decade. In the trailer, Lu Xixiao's question — "In the ten years we've been apart, have you ever regretted it even for a moment?" — is less an accusation than a confession he waited a decade to voice. And Zhou Wan's answer — "You were never my disease. You were the cure." — is the tenderest note in their tangled melody.

Starting today, Never-Ending Summer airs exclusively on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV. This summer, witness a decade-spanning romance that begins with a lie, falls deep into true hearts, and ultimately becomes each other's salvation.
