He worked as his substitute for three years, and it wasn't until the day he died that he discovered that he was the person he had been looking for for ten years.
Lin Nian served as Shen Mohan's stand-in for three years.
He cooked for him, warmed his bed, and took care of his daily life when he was sick. He thought he had hidden it well until he found the photo in Shen Mohan's coat - the man in the photo was the Bai Yueguang in his heart.
But Shen Mohan didn't know that he was the one who saved Lu Chenfeng five years ago, and he was the one who donated a kidney to save himself three years ago. He didn't even know that the beating heart in Lin Nian's body came from his deceased father.
When the truth was peeled off layer by layer, when the secret of micro-chimerism of organs was revealed, Lin Nian finally understood that he and Shen Mohan had been the same person for a long time.
But at that time, he was already lying on the hospital bed and signed the organ donation agreement.
Reader comments
This book is really hard to put down. The author uses delicate brushwork and vivid descriptions to bring readers into a world full of fantasy. The plot of the story has ups and downs, and every turn is unexpected, but it is also reasonable. People can't help but admire the author's ingenious conception.

The world in the book is very complete, and both the local customs and history and culture show the author's profound knowledge and rich imagination. Readers seem to be able to travel through time and space and personally feel the unique charm of that world. At the same time, the author's insight into human nature is also impressive. Each character has his own desires and struggles, making the whole story more real and believable.
In addition, the language of this book is beautiful and fluent, and it is so catchy that people can't help but be intoxicated by it. The author is good at using rhetorical techniques such as metaphors and symbols to make the whole story more vivid, interesting and memorable.

Chapter 25. Sublimates the abuse of the entire book into a miracle
Before reading Chapter 25, I thought this book was about substitutes, misunderstandings, and misses. After reading it, I understood - it is about "how one person lives in another person's body."
What Lin Nian felt at the beach was "not the beating of a heartbeat", it was not some metaphysics, it was Shen Weiguo responding to him.
Dr. Chen said that this is "cell memory" - the donor's emotions, habits, and unfulfilled wishes during his lifetime are retained in the organ in some way. This is not nonsense, there are real similar cases in medicine. But the author turned it into the most romantic setting: Shen Weiguo wanted to go to the beach before he died, so Lin Nian took him there; Shen Weiguo was satisfied when he saw the sea, so the beating became lighter and lighter until the final farewell.
When I saw Lin Nian standing on the beach and saying, "Uncle Shen, did you see it?", I immediately broke my guard.
Three moments that made me cry
1. "He's teaching me how to cook."
Lin Nian was clumsily chopping vegetables in the kitchen. Shen Mohan looked at him from behind and suddenly realized that the movements were exactly the same as his father's. There are no sensational lines in this section, but it makes people cry. Shen Weiguo did not leave. He was using Lin Nian's hands to cook his son's favorite dishes again.
2. That look
"He slowly turned around and looked at Shen Mohan. There was something indescribable in his eyes, very gentle and loving. That was Shen Weiguo's eyes." I burst into tears after reading this. A man who had been dead for five years said his last words to his son in this way, "Daddy loves you."
3. Final farewell
Lin Nian said: "When he left, he was smiling." Shen Weiguo's wish came true. His son was loved, and he was relieved. The description of "gently, faintly, like a wisp of smoke slowly dissipating" is more tear-inducing than any crying or fussing.
This chapter is the emotional turning point of the book
The first 24 chapters are all about "abuse" - abusing Lin Nian's humbleness, and abusing Shen Mohan's hindsight. But after Chapter 25, abuse turned into "warmth".
Because readers finally know: they are not two people in love. Shen Weiguo is watching, his sister is watching, and Lin Jianguo is watching. Those who passed away guarded them in their own ways.
This chapter also laid the deepest foreshadowing for the ending: Lin Nian said, "Every year from now on, I will take your dad to see the sea," so he went every year; Shen Weiguo "left", but his taste, his habits, and his way of cooking will always remain with Lin Nian. This makes the most reasonable preparation for the final "ashed fish" - they have long been inseparable.
One sentence summary
Chapter 25 made me believe: Even if the person you love leaves, he will stay with you in another way. It might be the taste of a dish, it might be an inadvertent habit, or it might be the moment when your chest suddenly jumps.
That is what he is saying: I see you, I am fine, don't worry.
Reading suggestion: Don't read it while eating, you will cry until you can't eat.
