Despite his family’s objections, Xing Tiannan insisted on studying abroad. Eight years later, he returned as the country’s only specialist in consciousness-space intervention therapy.
But after an accident in a patient’s consciousness space left him unconscious, his methods came under suspicion and the review board suspended his project. To break out of his predicament, he set out to find a new assistant and make a comeback.
On his mentor’s recommendation, Lou Cangxue, a seemingly ordinary fourth-year graduate student at Huabo University with no formal psychology background, became his assistant. To his surprise, Lou Cangxue had extraordinary empathy. In the consciousness space, that empathy helped uncover the long-term bullying Ning Qiqing had suffered at school, and they went on to turn the tables step by step. It helped Guan Youxiao discover what home meant to him. And as the truth of Shen Suyue’s experience slowly surfaced in the consciousness space, she was finally set free. Xing Tiannan’s psychological intervention clinic found a new opening, and he, too, was completely captivated by Lou Cangxue’s inner strength and striking appearance.
But Lou Cangxue had only one thing in mind: returning to his village to teach.
“What do you want five hundred years for?”
“To teach. I’ll teach for five hundred years.”
“...”
Xing Tiannan had always been good at getting things exactly right. He wasn’t about to let those five hundred years worry him. Lou Cangxue ran, Xing Tiannan pursued him, and along the way he even offered a technology-sharing agreement.
Once the agreement was signed, everything settled, and the beauty was in his arms, someone told him that it had all been a ploy by Xing Tiannan to obtain his extraordinary empathic ability and use it to upgrade his technology.
“He’s a psychology PhD who’ll betray anyone for profit and knows exactly how to manipulate people. Everyone is part of his plan. Once you lose your ability, he’ll kick you aside just like he did me.”
“He isn’t like you say.”
“Then has he ever told you he loves you?”
“...No.”
