Love Has Fireworks (Chinese: 爱情有烟火; pinyin: Àiqíng Yǒu Yānhuǒ) is a 2026 Chinese romantic comedy television series starring Tan Jianci and Wang Churan. Produced by Tencent Penguin Pictures, the series is an adaptation of the popular web novel We Live Together (我们住在一起) by Hong Jiu.[1] The series premiered on June 15, 2026, airing on CCTV-8 in prime time and streaming on Tencent Video, iQIYI[2] and Viu.[3]

The series explores the intersection of high-stakes investment banking and the grounded realities of urban cohabitation, following two professionals with conflicting ideologies on finance and romance.

Synopsis

[edit]

Qian Fei (Wang Churan), a diligent investment bank employee, finds her meticulously planned future shattered when her ex-boyfriend suddenly calls off their relationship. Facing a heavy mortgage alone, she is forced to rent out a room in her apartment to make ends meet. Her new tenant is Li Yifei (Tan Jianci), a "rich second-generation" heir who has abandoned his family's wealth to prove his individual worth in the corporate world.

While Qian Fei views love as a life-long investment requiring stability, Li Yifei treats romance as a mere accessory to his career. Their polar-opposite financial values and lifestyle habits lead to constant friction. However, as they navigate professional crises and family pressures together, they find an unexpected emotional bond through their shared domestic life.[4]
