At the height of his career, popular star Ye Xinghui is betrayed by someone close to him. His reputation is ruined, endorsements are canceled, roles are recast, and he is left drowning in debt. After the entire internet turns against him, Ye Xinghui buckles under the pressure and takes his own life by swallowing pills in his apartment.

When he wakes, Ye Xinghui has been reborn three years in the past.

He intends to avoid crossing paths with Gu Yunshen, but fate brings them together again.

By chance, Ye Xinghui discovers that Gu Yunshen, who supposedly hated him, has actually been protecting him all along.

What is going on?

From Gu Yunshen's diary: That day, I saw Ye Xinghui alive.

Not a cold corpse, but a living, breathing Ye Xinghui.

Broken Gu Yunshen: Even as he lay dying, he thought I hated him.

Fierce Gu Yunshen: You think you can lay a hand on someone I care about more than anything?

Happy Gu Yunshen: That day, he said he'd trade the rest of his life for me to live to a hundred.

But I made that same wish too! Does that mean we'll both have a long life together this time?

Angry Gu Yunshen: He said he wanted to clear up the rumors, and it made me furious. The rumors are true. I love him.

Exasperated Gu Yunshen: He keeps apologizing, but the whole world is the one that owes him an apology!
