Director Qin, I Heard Your Heartbeat

Qin Siyao is an icy, sophisticated executive in the finance world, with a cool voice and a mind ruled by reason. Voice acting is her only hobby, and the one variable in her perfect life she has never tried to calculate.

An Ran is the songbird of the voice-acting world, bright and spirited, with a voice that can shift through countless tones. It was only after meeting Qin Siyao that she believed another frequency truly existed, one that could resonate with her soul.

They met through a radio drama and became partners with an innate rapport. When An Ran's studio was just starting out, Qin Siyao was the benefactor quietly paving the way. They chatted and worked, sharing a pair of headphones in the recording booth late at night.

An Ran thought their mutual attraction had naturally blossomed. So she rose onto her toes and offered Qin Siyao her heart.

The answer she got was a calm rejection: “I'm sorry. I don't like women.”

An Ran turned and walked away, decisive and without hesitation. If they weren't headed in the same direction, why keep clinging to each other?

It wasn't until later, when the Director Qin who had once been certain she was “as straight as they come” saw someone else standing beside An Ran, that she finally panicked.

She came to her senses: all her “care” had been selfish, and every “exception” had been an expression of deep love.

This time, she would hold roses in her hands and rebuild an empire for An Ran atop the ruins of her world.

Leaning close to her ear, she pleaded in the voice once praised as “worth a fortune”:

“An Ran, my voice and my heartbeat both lose control for you... Please, let your heart soften for me one more time.”
