Shen Nian, a 28-year-old career woman, gains a bizarre ability after a car accident: she can hear what everyone truly thinks of her 24 hours later.
Her parents tell her to “focus on getting better,” and the next day she hears, “The creditors are pressing us. We can only rely on marrying her off to settle the debt.”
Her colleagues congratulate her on her promotion, and the next day she hears, “She only got it because she’s marrying into the Lu family.”
The cold CEO, Lu Yan, says, “We each get what we want,” and the next day she hears, “Her eyes are so clear, but I don’t know how to love anyone.”
To repay three million yuan in debt, Shen Nian is forced into a marriage contract with Lu Yan, the Lu Group CEO rumored to be ruthless and heartless. She plans to go their separate ways after the wedding, but through one instance after another of “delayed sincerity,” she gradually pieces together a very different Lu Yan.
He tucks her in at night, and the next day she hears, “She always kicks off the covers when she sleeps. What if she catches a cold?”
He says he’s “passing by” when he brings her a late-night snack, and the next day she hears, “I went half an hour out of my way. She’s lost weight.”
When she falls unconscious, he keeps vigil outside the ICU all night, his hair turning white. “I don’t need you to hear me. I need you to live.”
But just as she finally falls in love with him and prepares to confess her ability, she discovers that every time she “hears” someone’s thoughts, it drains her life. And the 24-hour delay means she will always be one day behind his heart…
