Tencent’s “Twilight”—to not be confused with the American Film franchise “Twilight”—has nothing to do with people and vampires.

Instead, it takes us into the thoughts of a thriller novel author Qi Lian Shan (Ren Jia Lun) and psychological counselor Liu Xia (Angelababy) who has the power to know the functioning of the human thoughts. When these two come collectively, it’s nothing in need of a rollercoaster of misadventures, romance, and humor.

As she enters the convention the place she is the star speaker, she realizes the person within the elevate is headed to the terrace to leap off the constructing. Quick witted, she rushes to the terrace and bides time, cajoling him to think about his resolution once more and managing to avoid wasting him.

Meanwhile, we understand that Ren Jia Lun is just not a detective however author Qi Lian Shan, who’s so immersed in his psychological novel that it turns right into a cosplay of types with him in it. He witnesses Liu Xia avert the suicide and is mighty impressed. However, he appears to be experiencing author’s block on the subject of the shortage of a feminine presence in his screenplay, and his writer is on his case to rewrite his narrative and get a feminine perspective in.

Adding to his woes, he has to in a single day vacate the place he’s staying in, and he finds a spot to stick with Yuan Yuan (Li Yi Ru). Lian Shan is a little bit of an eccentric who works at night time and sleeps barely for 2 hours. Liu Xia, who has been staying with a buddy, can also be searching for a studio and residential to hire in. Her buddy Jin Ran (Sun Jia Yu) helps her discover a quaint terrace studio, and evidently’s precisely the place Lian Shan is headed too.

A drama inside a drama

Lian Shan’s actuality typically merges with that of his characters. Lian Shan saves Liu Xia from getting mugged, and unbeknownst to each, they’re headed to the identical condo. When Liu Xia wakes as much as unusual sounds coming from the lounge, which is Lian Shan enacting his display play, the 2 almost come to blows. Realizing that they’re flatmates has irked Liu Xia sufficient, however it could be attention-grabbing to see if she would really be the muse Lian Shan seeks.

On the opposite, Lian Shan, via his writing, provides an perception into the thoughts house of individuals and what makes them do what they do.

Angelbaby’s Liu Xia comes throughout as a decided and courageous younger girl. Though nursing her personal trauma of the previous, she continues to persevere. However, she stays guarded and has an aloof character. Ren Jia Lun’s Qi Lian Shan is a little bit of a maverick and an odd one however has a heat and an easygoing vibe. The push and pull between these two shall be attention-grabbing to see.
