Rock Sugar Summer (2022 Chinese Drama) - Season 1 (Episode 18 Added)

Season 1 (18 episodes, ~30 min each, Oct 10–21, 2022) opens with Dui Dui’s academic crisis and Jiang Zuo’s contract, quickly establishing their campus dynamic: library tutoring, art-project deadlines, and ex-girlfriend pressure. Early episodes lean into comedic misunderstandings and slow-burn attraction; mid-season arcs deepen the face-blindness backstory and introduce a rival suitor who complicates the ruse. Later installments test the contract’s boundaries jealousy, honesty, and future plans—culminating in a confession and resolution that redefines their relationship from transactional to intentional, while side couples round out the youth-romance ensemble.
