A 21-year-old corporate drone choked to death one day, only to find his soul transmigrated into Wen Ruan, a sweet high school girl with a terminal illness!
He fiercely resisted his delicate new body, vowing he would never become a sweet girl. He even mistook the original owner’s wish to “live as myself” for a mission to pursue the school heartthrob. But after a hilarious journey of turning his life around, he failed to win the heartthrob and was instead deeply moved by Lu Xiao, the sunny, passionate second male lead and baseball player.
His identity was full of holes. His younger brother Wen Yu and best friend Lin Xiao were the first to notice something was off, but chose to protect him in silence. School heartthrob Jiang Chen let go and moved on, while former rival Xia Rou turned over a new leaf and helped him. When his terminal illness came to light, it set off a storm. Through the bittersweet push and pull at the edge of life and death, Gu Ye stopped agonizing over gender and identity and finally learned to accept himself.
When the art exhibition ended in success and the sun rose over the sea right on schedule, he had fulfilled all of the original owner’s wishes and found love and a bond that transcended life and death. In the open ending, an echo from a parallel world sounded softly. It turned out that love and growth never truly end.
