When bestselling author Zhou Wei loses her precious manuscript at a café, tech company CEO Cheng Yuan appears like a precision algorithm. His long, slender fingers not only restore her words, but quietly make their way into her life. The media call him an "ice-cold CEO," yet he brings her the out-of-print book she has always dreamed of at her book signing. She styles herself the queen of the written word, yet in his VR lab she leaps about like a child discovering a new continent.
As Zhou Wei immerses herself in this unexpected meeting of worlds, one challenge after another comes her way: her ex-boyfriend's malicious slander, a business rival's deliberate sabotage, and Cheng Yuan's mother's lofty scrutiny. The most painful wound comes when Cheng Yuan suddenly grows distant. To protect her from the storm of public opinion, he chooses to bear it alone, forgetting that love is never a single-player program.
"You always try to solve relationship problems with code," Zhou Wei says, tossing her new book into Cheng Yuan's arms. "But love isn't a multiple-choice question with only zero or one as the answers!"
An unexpected reunion while teaching in a remote mountain village tears away every disguise. In an abandoned clinic amid a torrential downpour, feverish Cheng Yuan finally admits, "If I had to choose between the company and loving you..." And for the first time, Zhou Wei admits that she hasn't been running from gossip, but from the fear that she isn't worthy of the light in his eyes.
In this collision of code and poetry, a tech elite who puts reason above all learns to act on impulse for love, while a sensitive, insecure writer rediscovers her self-worth. When Cheng Yuan turns the giant screen at a highly anticipated product launch into a love letter to Zhou Wei, everyone sees it: even the most precise algorithm cannot beat the rhythm of a heartbeat.
