Character setup: innocent top student and campus belle vs. calculating, scheming CEO
Xu Weiwei is an independent top student who strives to live life on her own terms. After receiving a heart transplant, she is reborn, and CEO Shen Yixing begins pursuing her. She thinks it must be a stroke of romantic luck, but after encountering a series of people and events, she grows increasingly convinced that the seemingly refined CEO is actually calculating and manipulative. He is surrounded by mysteries, and internal conflicts within the Shen Group bring a death case into the spotlight.
Xu Weiwei puts her academic talents to work and makes a huge leap forward in her career at the Shen Group, becoming the company’s top chemistry expert. At the same time, she begins investigating the truth behind the death of Shen Yixing’s ex-girlfriend.
During her investigation, Xu Weiwei comes to believe that the heart she received belonged to Shen Yixing’s ex-girlfriend. But many facts suggest that the heart’s origins are far from simple. Who was its owner, and how did she die? What was the true nature of Shen Yixing’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend? Did he really murder her? These questions form the novel’s central mystery.
Despite being kidnapped, drugged, and threatened, Xu Weiwei never gives up investigating. In the end, the truth comes out, and as she grows, she also finds her own path.
