Core premise: Amnesiac heroine × dual-identity hero / suspense and redemption / urban romance
Main plot: Su Qian, an ordinary illustrator, is in a car accident on the eve of her engagement banquet. When she wakes up, her memories have stopped three years in the past. She discovers that her fiancé, Gu Qingzhou, is not only a rising star in tech but also the gentle boy next door, “A-Zhou,” from her memories. Yet Gu Qingzhou treats her with unusual coldness, and every night she receives coded messages from an unknown number, messages only she can understand. As fragments of her memory return, she discovers that behind this “perfect love” lies a massive lie about life, death, and a substitute.
Prologue: To Forget Is Another Way to Remember
Su Qian thought she had the perfect love: a handsome, wealthy fiancé named Gu Qingzhou, a wonderfully romantic proposal, and a grand wedding just around the corner. Then a sudden car accident shattered everything. She was unconscious for three days. When she woke, the world still looked glamorous, yet everything around her felt strangely wrong.
She had forgotten everything that had happened over the past three years. Her memories stopped in a clamorous summer filled with cicadas, at the moment her neighbor Gu Qingzhou smiled and handed her a mint. But the Gu Qingzhou before her now had eyes as cold as frost, as if she were a carefully maintained illusion that was bound to shatter.
Even more unsettling, her phone lit up punctually at ten every night with a string of anonymous numeric codes. Once deciphered, they turned out to be fragments from a diary she had long since forgotten. Someone was secretly telling her: Don’t believe anything you see, especially the person you love most.
Perhaps forgetting was a kind of protection, but as her memories began to turn against her, the truth became a razor-sharp blade, cutting through everything...
