Amnesia trope | Reconciliation after a breakup | Substitute's lie | Wealthy family power struggle | Mutual salvation
Five years ago, at an underground street race in Lancheng, Ling Yuxiu risked his life to pay off Sang Jingzhi's debts.
Five years later, at a snowy mountain resort reception, flakes drifted through the air as she unexpectedly met a pair of eyes she knew all too well.
But the man before her was aloof and distinguished, his gaze utterly unfamiliar. The face engraved in her youthful love now belonged to someone with another identity.
Had he come back from the dead, or was this merely a heart-wrenching illusion?
At the bidding for the Jiuzhou Medical Industry Park, the fates of the two competing sides became entangled. Their repeated close encounters, his eating habits, his subtle gestures, the instinctive way he protected her in moments of danger, countless little details kept knocking at Sang Jingzhi's heart.
Only when she saw the old tooth mark scar on his shoulder did she finally confirm it: he was Ling Yuxiu.
A shocking deception came to light. The car crash years ago had not been an accident. Amid a wealthy family's power games and his elder brother's vicious schemes, he had escaped death, only to have his life forcibly rewritten and be made to live as Si Linxu, the person others expected him to be.
He remembered nothing of Lancheng, nothing of those youthful days spent desperately repaying debts, and nothing of Sang Jingzhi, whom he'd loved with all his might.
Burdened by guilt and longing, she restrained her deep love, afraid to disturb the polished, dazzling life he now led. Yet he, an amnesiac, couldn't control his growing feelings for the unfamiliar woman designer: his heart stirred, he favored her, and he lost control.
Fragments of broken memories kept surging up, while long-buried clues slowly unraveled the lies.
When Ling Yuxiu finally broke free of the fate others had written for him and reclaimed his erased past, overwhelming regret swept over him.
And yet the years stretch on. And yet all I want is to be with you.
