Blackout

What happens when a relationship loses its spark and a literal blackout becomes the only way to find it again? Set against the cobblestone streets and lantern-lit canals of Lijiang, Yunnan, *Blackout* follows a long-term couple, Xiao Chen and Wei Ming, who have drifted into a monotonous routine. Hoping to rekindle the magic of their first meeting, they embark on a romantic getaway to the ancient city. But when a city-wide power outage plunges them into darkness, the forced intimacy and vulnerability that follows reveals buried secrets, hidden desires, and the raw edges of their love. With only four tightly-packed episodes, this short-form Chinese BL leans into atmospheric storytelling and emotional tension, offering a bittersweet exploration of whether love can survive when the lights go out — literally and metaphorically. Is this blackout the end of their story, or a chance to start over?
