Feature
★ A bestselling YA Romance IP with outstanding data and successful adaptations!
During its original web serialization, the novel accumulated over 100 million reading points, more than 120,000 reader comments, and 1.03 million click interactions. The TV drama adaptation of the same name won the "Annual Outstanding TV Series" award at the Weibo TV Influence Ceremony (Weibo is a core social media platform in China similar to Twitter and Facebook, with over 600 million monthly active users), demonstrating recognition from both the mainstream market and audiences.
★ A model of "equal and balanced" modern romance: growing together, matching wits, and empowering each other!
The highly contemporary protagonists—champion swimmer Tang Yibai and rookie reporter Yun Duo—begin their relationship through a professional interview, which develops as they witness and support each other's careers: he pursues ultimate speed in the pool, she chases her professional ideals in journalism. This romance model, rooted in mutual respect and admiration, is precisely what resonates with young readers worldwide today.
★ Going beyond sweetness, it injects a solid core of passion and growth, sharing a similar appeal with successful works like Yuri!!! on Ice!
It authentically depicts the sweat, tears, and perseverance of professional athletes striving for their dreams, as well as the setbacks and struggles of a workplace newcomer. The story tightly intertwines personal dreams, professional honor, and sincere emotions, conveying positive values and giving the romantic narrative an inspiring power.
★ "The best kind of love isn't about who saves whom; it's that while we each race toward our dreams, we can always see the other shining at the finish line."
Description
Their meeting begins with a poolside interview. Yun Duo racks her brains to find news angles, while Tang Yibai effortlessly deflects her "tactics" with his straightforward yet humorous logic.
Yun Duo: "Tang Yibai, some netizens say you're the most handsome athlete ever. How do you feel when you hear that?"
Tang Yibai: "What does being handsome have to do with anything? I don't swim with my face."
Yun Duo: "Being handsome makes you more likable, so you'd have more fans."
Tang Yibai: "Will having more fans make me swim faster?"
As Yun Duo continues to report on Tang Yibai's comeback journey, she gradually enters his world. She witnesses firsthand his grueling daily training, comes to understand his almost religious dedication to swimming, and senses the scars left by past setbacks. In Tang Yibai's eyes, Yun Duo's sincerity, occasional clumsiness, and pure passion for her journalistic work are like a ray of sunshine illuminating his competition-filled life.
Affection quietly grows through interviews and companionship. Tang Yibai's fondness shows in seemingly offhand gestures—like drinking the juice she left behind, or "jealously" demanding she call him "Brother Yibai" when she praises other athletes. Most of all, it's knowing her focused, recording gaze is always there at the poolside when he strives in the water. Yun Duo's fondness shows in her efforts to write the most moving reports to restore his reputation, and in her silent companionship when he faces pressure.
Yet the path of growth is never smooth. Tang Yibai must confront formidable opponents, physical limits, and the heavy expectations of a champion. Yun Duo must navigate workplace competition, ethical challenges in reporting, and the public scrutiny that comes with being a celebrity's girlfriend. Their love is tightly bound to each other's dreams. This is a fresh story about how two people move from walking side-by-side to advancing hand-in-hand amidst turbulent "sprays" (both in the pool and in life), ultimately arriving together at a brighter future.
"Before, my world was only swimming. I never considered love. If I hadn't liked you so much that I couldn't control it, I wouldn't have chosen to confess."
He is the swift white streak in the waves; she is the lone cloud in the sky.
In short, the waves are churning, the world should make way—Tang Yibai is here.
