| New Time-Travel C-Drama Alert! ‘Summit of Our Youth’ Starts August 7 with Sun Zhenni & Chen Jinke |
Here comes another sweet and slightly brainy youth romance with a fantasy twist! Youku’s latest time-travel C-drama Summit of Our Youth is all set to premiere tomorrow, August 7, 2025, and it's got all the good stuff — regrets, rewinds, and romance with a sprinkle of school exam stress.
This 23-episode daily drama stars Sun Zhenni (of SNH48 fame) as the messy but relatable Gu Xuejiao, and rising heartthrob Chen Jinke as the cold but not-so-heartless CEO Lin Zhihua.
🌀 Summit of Our Youth drama plot:
In the past, Gu Xuejiao’s love-sick teenage years cost her the college life she dreamed of. Instead of a top university and thriving career, she ends up stuck in a dead-end outsourcing job, constantly being stepped on by her cold-as-ice boss, Lin Zhihua.
 |
Just when she finally musters the courage to face him head-on… boom! She time-slips back to her high school days.
With her 18-year-old self staring back at her, Gu Xuejiao is determined not to make the same mistake twice. This time, it's all about grades first, crushes later. But fate has a funny way of playing tricks — the more she tries to ignore Lin Zhihua, the closer they grow.
 |
What starts as an icy rivalry slowly blooms into a warm, heartfelt romance that grows in step with her own personal growth. It’s not just a love story, it’s a redemption arc — with bonus physics classes and group study sessions.
