Autumn Knows What the Heart Says

Lu Zhiyi was once the youngest inheritor of the traditional art of paper sculpture. With deft hands, she could recreate thousand-year-old paintings, but a conspiracy destroyed her family and left her a puppet in the hands of the wealthy.

Jiang Xubai is a ruthless, cool-headed corporate predator, famous in the business world. His life motto is just four words: "Profit above all."

The two marry under a contract, each getting what they want: she uses his influence to survive, while he uses her skills to seize power.

Until Jiang Xubai discovers that the secret Lu Zhiyi is hiding is inextricably intertwined with his family's bloody vendetta...

"Jiang Xubai, you taught me how to manipulate people's hearts. How did you end up falling for me first?"

"Lu Zhiyi, paper sculptures can be restored, but when a heart is torn apart... can it ever be made whole again?"

This is a game that begins in exploitation but remains true to the heart, and a passionate love story of mutual healing, set against the preservation of traditional intangible cultural heritage.
