The 2026 Chinese series "Love Between Lines" or Love Between Lines is a Chinese detective-romantic series adapted from a famous novel. It follows characters in a game competing to solve a murder case, which eventually leads to their meeting in real life and the gradual development of their relationship.
After a disappointing end to a past relationship, Hu Xiu, a woman confused about her life, is invited by a friend to join a game where she takes on the role of a detective investigating a mystery. What she thought would be just a fun game becomes the start of a life-changing condition.
In the game world surrounded by murder mysteries, scenes set in the Republic of China era, and falling snow, Hu Xiu meets Xiao Ziyu, a smart, careful, and seemingly emotionless player. He does not see her as a rival to defeat but is the first person to make her heart flutter.
Fate brings them together again in real life, where he is not only a fellow gamer but also an important figure in her world—as her apartment neighbor and later as her boss at work.
The more time they spend together, the more they discover their feelings go deeper than the "roles" they originally assumed. Many truths hidden both inside and outside the game gradually come to light, challenging both their hearts and minds.
Ultimately, Hu Xiu and Xiao Ziyu must confront the crucial question of understanding how love that begins in a virtual world differs from love in real life.
The Chinese series "Love Between Lines" consists of 28 episodes. It is available with Thai subtitles and dubbing on the streaming platforms iQIYI and VIU.
