A genetic mystery spanning twenty years lies hidden in the night fog over the Huangpu River.
Lin Xia never imagined that Cheng Yan, her first love, who broke up with her on a rainy night seven years ago, would make a forceful return as the new CEO of Yuanhang Group. Nor did she expect that the gruesome scar on his wrist and the cedar-scented perfume he always carried would lead to the long-buried secret of human experiments at Cheng Pharmaceuticals: the cries echoing through the lab late at night, the twin embryos preserved in formalin, and the bloody truth behind the “accidental death” of her beloved older sister.
When Cheng Yu Bai, Cheng Yan’s half-brother, appears with an illegitimate daughter who looks almost exactly like her; when Shen Ke, the lover who should have died in the cryogenic pod, opens his eyes; when Cheng family genetic codes are discovered hidden in the DNA of young perfumer Lu Zhiyao... Lin Xia is forced into a capitalist hunt disguised as love. Morse code at the bottom of a gold perfume bottle, a genetic key on the wings of a blue morpho butterfly, an immortality pact bound to the rhythm of a heartbeat: every tenderness is a lie, and every salvation a trap.
