   The author is from Bulgaria. He wrote this novel as a real book – not a standard web novel. He translated it into Chinese himself. If you find any unnatural expressions, please let me know. [Sending a Heart] There is a mirror that connects the soul of an ordinary girl with that of a man – beautiful as original sin, cold as ice, and determined to possess the woman he loves at all costs. But this is more than just a love story. The lives of several best friends are completely thrown into chaos by a series of unexpected situations, episodes, and events.

   Reader note

   🍉First Book: On the day of her newlywed husband's burial, Li Weiying was cornered by her in-laws in front of the mourning hall, forced to swear never to remarry. Frail and delicate, she didn't even have the strength to cry, but was dragged into an alley by the "living devil" from the neighboring transport team. The man's muscles were hard and his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to bite: "What are you crying for? That good-for-nothing doesn't deserve you." Everyone at the factory said Lu Dingzhou was crazy, driving recklessly and fighting with deadly force. Yet this violent, rough man carefully held her in his hands when he broke into her window in the middle of the night, clumsily wiping away her tears with his rough, large hands. He stuffed all his savings from long-distance driving under her pillow, saying viciously, "If anyone dares to bully you, I'll break their leg." Later, when her mother-in-law brought people to cause trouble, he stood at the door, his furious roar silencing the entire street. The delicate young wife shrank behind him, feeling for the first time... That being protected by this wolf was more reassuring than anything else. 💘Second Book: In her past life, he was the most reckless fishmonger at the docks, reeking of fish and as violent as a mad dog, yet he took a bullet for her. She died in his arms, watching helplessly as blood stained the entire sea. Reborn in 1960s Hong Kong, the rough man named Ah Wu is still alive, his muscular body covered in fish scales, his fierce eyes making people weak in the knees. She is no longer the weak and helpless woman of her past life; in this life, she will fight her way out with him. Bullied while selling seafood? She negotiates prices with a smile, and he swings his fish knife to chop. Gangsters come to collect protection money? She calls the police at the right moment, and he grabs an iron rod and beats them until they kneel and beg for mercy. To outsiders, he is a tyrannical devil, but only she knows that this wolf protects her every night, his rough hands wiping the seawater from her face. She says she wants to get rich, and he risks his life to seize territory. She says she wants revenge, and he kills until no one dares to touch a hair on her head. A delicate woman paired with a violent and rough man—in this lifetime, no one can separate them.
