Love Like the Galaxy is a 2022 Chinese television series. It stars Wu Lei and Zhao Lusi. The series was split into two parts, with the first part premiering on July 5, 2022. The second part started airing on July 27, 2022.[1]
The story revolves around Cheng Shaoshang (Zhao Lusi), who was left behind by her parents when they went to the battlefield. As a result, she was raised by her scheming aunt and ignorant grandmother. In order to protect herself from the constant abuse and mistreatment, she honed herself to be extra vigilant.

However, years of estrangement have made it difficult for them to become a family. As she lacked love her whole life, Shaoshang is both pragmatic and insecure when it comes to opening up to others.
She soon meets the Emperor's foster son, Ling Buyi (Wu Lei), whom she views as a cold and ruthless person. However, that notion changes as she continually finds herself involved with him.
