The Sunlit Night Garden (2026)

Pseudo Yuri on Duanju

I watched this with 50:50 minds, good merits i love Zhang Jinyi and it was quite rare to find dual female leads drama on duanju and not so good merit the other protagonist is Tan Yan Yan. Its not because i hate her or something but i barely managed to finish her drama except her dramas with Wang Yiran and the three couple ensemble (and she was the weakest on par with Liu Yuhang) because her acting was not my cup of tea despite her mini drama background. But for this drama i can watch Tan Yan Yan without being nosy like market aunt.

Tan Yan Yan and Zhang Jinyi have slightly yuri (lesbian) feel, but it's actually quite borderline since it Mainland (duh). The story is about Xiangxue (TYY/FL1) , a blind writer, is imprisoned and has her work's publication rights stolen by her husband. She has intelligence but no strength to resist, but fate brings her redemption. Shiran (ZJY/FL2) is a thief, also living under her uncle's control. During a burglary, she discovers someone living a more miserable life than herself, and the two girls sympathize with each other, determined to break free from their cages together. This story has a lot of magical fate, but at the same time, it seems fragile. So, with my limited perspective, I always felt that this relationship would collapse at some point. But it never did, there are only a few soft words from her when she tries to protect her and drive her away.

The final result is rather futile; FL2 can always report her uncle, just as FL2 is fully capable of killing herself and claiming it was an accident. So it still feels like a surreal fairy tale. So, this story is about two women meeting, getting to know each other, and feeling need to each other. It reminds me of

If you want to get pseudo yuri with subtle message, you can watch this.
