Three years ago, during a scorching night under the Beiwan Bridge, Lin left a message in the early morning, "Just pretend it never happened," and left Helsinki with the unspoken secret. She thought she had cut off all ties, but three years later she returned to China for the "Old Shipyard Renovation" project and caught Shen Yan's sight - he was already the heir to a multinational energy group, with a well-matched fiancée standing beside him, but there was an unquenched fire in his eyes.
The rusty iron of the old shipyard, the glass walls of the zero-carbon bid, and the sudden appearance of their three-year-old son Ye Ye tied the two together again. Shen Yan locked her up with a contract and forced her into a fake relationship, but the moment he saw Ye Ye, he lost his coldness; Lin Zhi avoided him and guarded against him, but when he shielded her from the board of directors' questioning and moved steel beams with bare hands to save Ye Ye, his already scabbed heart softened.
No one knew that her "arson and escape" three years ago was to protect him from being swallowed up by the internal strife in the group; no one knew that the human bones from 30 years ago buried under the old shipyard were closely related to her mother's disappearance. When Gu Yi held the arson video from that year, Xu Zhiran was unwilling to quit, and the Shen family's old debts surfaced, Lin Zhi finally understood: the old marks she had burned would eventually plant new light in the ashes with Shen Yan.
