A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills’ Dream

A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream (Chinese: 寒阳风起春山境; pinyin: Han Yang Feng Qi Chun Shan Jing) is a 2026 Chinese boys' love (BL) romance, also circulated under the shorter title Spring Hills' Dream (春山境). The series is directed and written by Lizzy, who works under the on-screen alias ZELIA and previously led the team behind Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island. The sixteen-episode drama premiered on June 12, 2026, releasing its first four episodes together at launch and then a new episode every Friday through August 21, 2026. A China-Thailand co-production performed largely in Mandarin, it streams internationally on GagaOOLala, with subtitles available in English, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi.

At its center are Feng Qinglang (Xiong Yiwen), a top celebrity at the peak of his fame who escapes to a remote tea mountain seeking a brief respite from the spotlight, and Xu Changyang (Liu Jingyu), a free-spirited young tea farmer with an untamed soul. One belongs to the dazzling world of fame, the other to the forests and the land, yet as they grow closer among the mountains and the wilderness, love quietly takes root between them. The relentless scrutiny of the entertainment industry and the harsh calculations of the real world keep pushing the two men toward separation. Supporting the leads are Qi Haoyu (Guo Zongxu), Han Lu (He Jiakai), Feng Qingtian (Hu Yichen), and Xu Wenshu (Huang Qi Xiu), figures from both the tea mountain and the industry Feng Qinglang is trying to leave behind.

A tender, age-gap healing romance, the series is captured by its own tagline, "My distant tea mountain gazes at his sea, across ten thousand miles," and builds its story around the tension between fame and freedom, escape and belonging. In the end, it asks whether Feng Qinglang and Xu Changyang will follow the call of their hearts and risk everything for love, even as industry pressure and social judgment keep testing what they have built together on the mountain. Scenic, unhurried, and rooted in the rhythms of tea farming, A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream streams worldwide on GagaOOLala as one of the platform's 2026 original BL dramas.
