Beautiful Plants For Your Interior
The wait is finally over! Link Click (Shiguang Dailiren) Season 3 Part One has officially made its highly anticipated return. Dropping exclusively on Bilibili on August 14, 2026, at 11:00 (Beijing Time), the donghua came out swinging with a double-episode premiere.
Riding on the massive momentum of over 900 million series views prior to its release, the Season 3 premiere didn’t just meet expectations—it shattered them. By instantly paying off massive foreshadowing from the first two seasons and dropping some heavy lore bombs, the fandom is already in a frenzy.
Here is a breakdown of everything that went down and why the internet is buzzing!
🕰️ The Ultimate Twist: A Forgotten Childhood Bond
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room—the biggest, most heartbreaking twist of the premiere. Forget the Season 1 basketball court origin story; Season 3 reveals that Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang actually knew each other as children!
Fans are already dubbing this the “destined childhood friends” trope, but it comes with a tragic catch: Cheng Xiaoshi has completely lost his memories of this period. This leaves Lu Guang silently bearing the weight of their past, hiding incredibly complex emotions behind his stoic demeanor as he works alongside a partner who doesn’t remember him.
To make things even crazier, eagle-eyed fans spotted a crucial detail: a specific watch on young Cheng Xiaoshi’s wrist. This has sparked intense theories that young Cheng might have already possessed—or at least had the potential for—his photo-diving abilities back then. Could his mysterious amnesia be the direct result of an early power awakening?
🔍 Straight Into the Action: The Xia Fei Missing Persons Case
While the past is a mystery, the present is incredibly dangerous. The main plot kicks off with a high-stakes crisis: the disappearance of a brand-new character, Xia Fei.
Wasting no time, Cheng Xiaoshi dives straight into a photograph, possessing Xia Fei to scour the crime scene for clues. However, things immediately go sideways. In a shocking confrontation, Cheng bumps right into Li Tianchen—the pivotal wildcard from Season 2—leading to a tense, direct clash between the two sides right at the scene of the disappearance.
🌑 The Villains Step into the Light
The broader conspiracy is finally taking shape. The premiere confirmed the terrifying endgame of the antagonist, Liu Xiao: he is actively trying to “gather ability users” to execute a mysterious master plan.
Meanwhile, another shadowy figure is stepping into the spotlight. Vein (Xiao Weiying) is heavily hinted to be the mastermind and boss behind the Yingdu ability users. As the season progresses, the secrets between Liu Xiao, Vein, and their underground network are bound to blow the story wide open.
🎶 Beats, Broadcasts, and What’s Next
A Link Click season wouldn’t be complete without absolute banger opening and ending tracks. The new OP, “Shi” (Time), and the ED, “Ling” (Zero), have both been officially released, with the ED featuring the brilliant songwriting and vocals of Fan Ka.
To celebrate the launch, the creators have also rolled out the “Time Relay Project”, a global interactive event to connect fans worldwide as the mystery unfolds.
What’s Next? With Episodes 1 and 2 already out and blowing our minds, Bilibili has already dropped the preview for Episode 3. If this opening is anything to go by, Link Click Season 3 is gearing up to be the most emotional, action-packed, and twist-heavy season yet.
