Mutual salvation + Deep, restrained love + Lingering heartbreak
Fu Linye, the business-world emperor who controls half the city’s capital, suffers from a rare heart condition and has only six months left to live.
At twenty-seven, he meets Jiang Jianwei, gentle yet resilient, in a secondhand bookstore on a quiet old street.
She is the only glimmer of light in his hopeless final days, the only salvation for his broken heart.
But just as his love reaches its peak, he pushes her away with cold words and calculated cruelty. He loves her too much to let her watch him wither away.
His indifference is a disguise; his medical records conceal his despair.
Amid rumors and hurt, she refuses to let go. She peels away his icy defenses, layer by layer, and sees the deep love and struggle buried in his very bones.
A love that pulls them to the limit, a tragic romance between life and death, a silent vow of protection paid for with one life in exchange for another.
From now on, through the bustle of everyday life and across mountains and rivers, Fu Linye’s remaining years belong entirely to Jiang Jianwei.
