"My Mr. Architect" is when the blueprint of the soul meets another person who can read it. Others would give roses when they fell in love, but Cheng Jingshen gave her a house designed by himself that could breathe. She is a documentary director who runs around deadlines. Her lens can capture the fireworks of the world, but not her own place of residence. He is a taciturn and talented architect. He can calculate the load-bearing capacity of all structures on the drawings, but he cannot calculate the load of missing people. They don't talk about love, they only talk about how light and shadow pass through the blinds, about the urban growth rings under the old wall, and about the temperature and texture that a "home" should have. Until one late night when he was working overtime in the rain, he handed her the final draft of the design drawing. Next to the designer's signature in the lower right corner, there was a line of small words: "The only designated mistress of this building - I hope that all the structures in my life will have you as the load-bearing core."

Soul Cage: Silent Gaze and Delayed Truth Act One: Prisoner of Purgatory The moment the soul left the body, Shen Man did not dissipate or enter reincarnation as expected. Her consciousness was trapped - trapped in the gap between nothingness and reality, following Bao Siyan like a shadow, never being able to leave him more than ten meters away. She became an eternal ghostly spectator beside him. On the seventh day after his death, Shen Man's funeral was held hastily. Bao Siyan did not show up. She was forced to "follow" him in her soul state, watching him sitting in the office and listening to his assistant tremblingly reporting that the funeral had been arranged. "Mr. Bo, Madam's body..." "It's been cremated. The ashes can be placed anywhere." Bo Siyan didn't even raise his eyes, and drew a cold arc on the document with the pen in his hand. "In addition, the property rights of the Shen family's old residence should be dealt with and transferred to Su Qianqian's name as soon as possible." Su Qianqian. That name was like a poisonous needle, piercing into Shen Man's heart that no longer beats. Act Two: The Crack in the Truth In his soul state, Shen Man discovered that he could see some things that he could not see while alive. She saw that behind Bao Siyan's indifference was every man who was fascinated by her photos late at night. She saw a faded wedding ring deep in his drawer - it was the ring she had designed when they got married, and she thought he had thrown it away long ago. She saw that three months after her death, he began to secretly investigate the truth behind the transfer of the batch of type A blood. After seeing him deal with the person in charge of the hospital's blood bank with thunderous means, he found that the clues pointed to a force that even he could not temporarily touch - another wealthy family in Haicheng, the Gu family. "Why did the Gu family attack Shen Man?" Bo Siyan asked his close assistant in the study, with a sinister look in his eyes that Shen Man had never seen before. "She has never interacted with the Gu family." "Mr. Bo, we found out that on the day of Madam's death, Gu Yanzhi's fiancée Lin Wei was also rescued in the same hospital. She had rare Rh-negative blood type A, and at that time, our hospital was the only one in the city with sufficient reserves..." Bao Siyan slammed his fist on the table: "So, they exchanged Shen Man's life for Lin Wei's?" Shen Man's soul trembled violently. It turned out that her death was not an accident, nor was it directly caused by Bao Siyan, but a carefully planned plunder of medical resources - she was treated as a expendable bargaining chip. But then she sneered. So what? Bao Siyan's words of "call me when she is completely dead" are true. His indifference, his ruthlessness, are all true. Act Three: Prisoner's Awakening In the sixth month of his soul's confinement, Shen Man discovered that he was beginning to slightly affect the real world. At first it just made the paper flutter, and later it made the lights flash. She used this ability to start studying like crazy - the business information in Bo Siyan's study, the encrypted files on his computer, his strategies and loopholes in negotiating with others. She is like a sponge, absorbing core business secrets that were once out of reach when she was the wife of the Bo family. She discovered that the Bo family's industry was not monolithic, and that Bo Siyan was facing a double attack from internal and external enemies of the family. She also discovered a surprising secret: the relationship between Bao Siyan and Su Qianqian was far from what she imagined. Late one night, Su Qianqian tried to seduce Bao Siyan, but he pushed him away coldly: "I promised to take care of you only because of my promise to your brother. Don't cross the line." "Then why are you so heartless towards Shen Man? You can obviously save her!" Su Qianqian asked reluctantly. Bao Siyan turned his back to her and his voice was as low as ice: "Only in this way can those people believe that she is worthless to me and will not continue to threaten me with her. She is the real prisoner when she is alive." Shen Man's soul felt like it was struck by lightning. But the next second, she forced herself to calm down - this might be Bao Siyan's words to appease Su Qianqian, or an excuse to comfort herself. She won't easily believe any of his "hardships" anymore. Act Four: Touching Reality On the first anniversary of her death, Bo Siyan finally went to her tomb - if that corner in the wilderness could be called a "tomb". It was a cement slab without even a name. He stood there for a long time, holding an old velvet box in his hand. Shen Man recognized that it was the relic box left to her by her mother. Inside was the thing she cherished most when she was the eldest daughter of the Shen family. "Shen Man," Bo Siyan's voice was low and hoarse. This was the first time she heard him call her name after her death, "just wait, it will be over soon." He opened the box and took out a simple jade bracelet - it was a relic of Shen Man's mother and one of the Shen family heirlooms. Bao Siyan put the bracelet on his wrist. The size obviously didn't fit, but he didn't take it off. At that moment, Shen Man felt a strong suction force. Her soul was violently pulled towards the jade bracelet - a family heirloom that her mother had said was "spiritual" during her lifetime. Act Five: Weird Return Shen Man did not "rebirth" back to his own body. She woke up in the jade bracelet and became the "weapon spirit" attached to this family heirloom. She can see, hear, and even slightly affect the wearer's emotions through the jade bracelet, but she cannot speak or appear. The person wearing the jade bracelet is Bo Siyan. She was forced to follow him and watch how he planned step by step to deal with the forces that led to her death. Watching how he touched the jade bracelet late at night, muttering to himself something she couldn't understand at all: "The Shen family's 'Blood Jade Recognition' is actually real... Are you really in it?" "If the plan goes well, in three months, the Gu family will completely collapse. Those people will have to pay the price." "When everything is over, I will tell you everything... If you are still willing to listen then." Shen Man sneered in the jade bracelet: Tell me? How can a dead man listen to your explanation? Bo Siyan, you are just impressing yourself. Act Six: The Collapse and Rise of the Business Empire Bo Siyan began to launch an all-out attack on the Gu family. Commercially, he targeted the Gu family's core industries; privately, he collected evidence of the Gu family's crimes over the years. Through the jade bracelet, Shen Man not only saw all this, but also began to use the business knowledge he learned in his soul state to indirectly influence Bao Siyan's decision-making without his knowledge. She will make the jade bracelet slightly hot when he hesitates, hinting at the risk; she will make the jade bracelet glow with a warm light when he makes a correct judgment. Bao Siyan seemed to notice something strange. He began to rub the jade bracelet on his wrist intentionally or unintentionally before making important decisions. At the same time, Shen Man discovered an amazing opportunity: while Bo Siyan was fighting with the Gu family, a vacuum appeared in Haicheng's business landscape. Some emerging industries are ignored by no one, and some areas ignored by the two giants are quietly emerging. If she can "live" - ​​not as Shen Man, but as a new identity - she will have the opportunity to build her own business empire, one that is no longer dependent on anyone and can even counterbalance Bao Siyan and the Gu family. Act Seven: The Taboo of Reshaping the Physical Body The second year after his death, Shen Man found that his "existence" form had changed again. She began to "appear" briefly in the middle of the night - not a physical entity, but a translucent spirit body that only Bao Siyan could see. When he first appeared, Bao Siyan was working in the study. Shen Man deliberately appeared opposite him, wearing the blood-stained hospital gown he had worn when he died, with a pale face. The pen in Bao Siyan's hand fell and ink splashed on the important documents. His pupils were constricted, but there was no fear, only an almost crazy... Expectation? "Shen Man?" His voice trembled. "Bao Siyan," her voice was ethereal and cold, "Why are you wearing my mother's bracelet?" "To get you back." He answered bluntly and crazily, "According to the ancient books of the Shen family, blood jade can identify the owner, and it can absorb the soul and nourish the soul. I searched for a whole year before I found this method." "Let me come back? Then what? Continue to be a fool who comes and goes when you call him, Bao Siyan?" Shen Man's spirit body fluctuated with anger, "Do you know how I died? I was bleeding heavily on the operating table, and the blood type A blood in the blood bank was transferred by the Gu family to save Lin Wei! And what did you say on the phone? 'Call me after she is dead'!" Bao Siyan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was bottomless pain in his eyes: "The Gu family's people were right next to me listening to that phone call. If I show any concern, they will immediately make your death more painful. I can only make them believe that you are worthless to me." "Funny words." Shen Man sneered, "What happens after that? You didn't come to my funeral, you disposed of my ashes as you pleased, and you changed hands and gave the Shen family's old house to Su Qianqian! Bao Siyan, all your 'hardships' are too cheap." "Su Qianqian's brother," Bao Siyan's voice was hoarse, "died for me. I promised him that I would take good care of his only sister. As for the Shen family's old house - it has been targeted by the Gu family. If it is transferred to Su Qianqian's name, it can be temporarily preserved. When everything is over, it will be returned to its original owner." "Return to the original owner?" Shen Man's spirit body swayed in the air. "The owner is dead! Bao Siyan, in all your calculations and layouts, have you ever asked me about my wishes? Why do you decide my life and death, and everything after my death?" Bao Siyan was silent. After a long while, he said, "You're right. I'm not qualified. So, I'm waiting." "Waiting for what?" "Waiting for you to come back, hold the knife in your hand, and take revenge on me." Shen Man's spirit body almost collapsed at this moment. Anger, sadness, and a sense of absurdity all intertwined. She stared at the man in front of her, the man she had loved and hated for ten years. "If I can really come back," she said one word at a time, "I will take away everything from you. Your wealth, your status, everything you value. Then, I will let you live as humbly as I did for the past ten years." Bao Siyan looked at her, with a smile in his eyes: "Okay. I'll wait." Act 8: The price of resurrection Shen Man found that his spirit body was becoming more and more solid, and his stay was getting longer and longer. But she also felt that every time she appeared, she was consuming a certain kind of energy - that was Bao Siyan's life force. She accidentally saw Bo Siyan's physical examination report: organ function failed inexplicably, vital signs continued to decline, and the doctor could not find the reason. And every time after she appeared, Bao Siyan's face would turn a little pale. "Are you using your life to support my soul?" Shen Man asked the next time he appeared. Bo Siyan did not deny: "This is the only way. According to ancient books, blood jade nourishes the soul, and it needs to be guided by the wearer's blood. When your soul is strong enough, you can find a new host - a host that has just been brain-dead, but the body is intact." "You are crazy." Shen Man felt ridiculous, "Even if I find a new body and come back to life, it will no longer be Shen Man! It will be another person!" "No," Bao Siyan took out a top-secret document from the safe, "Shen Man, your body was not cremated. It was secretly kept by me in a special medical facility, relying on the life support system and in a state of deep freezing." Shen Man's spirit body trembled violently. "But the brain is dead and cannot be reversed medically." Bo Siyan continued, "Unless... You use ancient forbidden techniques, using blood jade as a medium, to guide your soul back to the body, and cooperate with the most advanced nerve regeneration technology. The success rate is less than 10%, and, as a soul attractor, I will probably die." "Is this your plan?" Shen Man felt an indescribable anger, "Bao Siyan, you are always like this! You decide everything on your own! Have you ever asked me if I want to be 'resurrected' like this? Have you asked me if I want to bear your life and survive?" Bo Siyan looked at her, with tenderness and sadness in his eyes that Shen Man had never seen before: "I'm sorry. But this is the only way I can think of to make up for my mistakes. Shen Man, I only understand after your death that some mistakes, once made, are irreversible." Act 9: Three-party competition Just when Bo Siyan was preparing Shen Man's "resurrection" plan, the Gu family discovered clues. Gu Yanzhi - the man who diverted all type A blood to save his fiancée, indirectly causing Shen Man's death - found Bo Siyan's secret medical base. At the same time, Su Qianqian also discovered Bo Siyan's plan. The woman who had been "taken care of" by Bo Siyan sold information to the Gu family out of love and hatred. Three parties are competing in the dark: · Bao Siyan wants to resurrect Shen Man and completely defeat the Gu family; · The Gu family wants to prevent Shen Man from being resurrected and prevent her from exposing their crimes as a witness; · Su Qianqian wants Shen Man to never be reincarnated and take her place. And Shen Man watched all this coldly in the jade bracelet. She began to use the abilities of her spirit body to make secret plans: She registered an offshore company anonymously through Bao Siyan's computer while he was unprepared; she wrote down all the business secrets when he was meeting with his confidants; she even began to try to briefly control Bao Siyan's mobile phone late at night when he was asleep, sending some vague instructions to disrupt the Gu family's business layout. She is no longer just a passive victim, but quietly becomes the fourth party in this game - an invisible player. Act 10: The Final Choice Bo Siyan's health deteriorated rapidly. Doctors warned that if the unexplained organ failure continued, he would not survive more than three months. At the same time, Shen Man's body was ready to accept the return of his soul. Nerve regeneration technology has made breakthrough progress, but the success rate is still only 15%. "That's enough, Bao Siyan." Shen Man said when he appeared for the last time, "Stop it. I don't need the resurrection you gave your life for." Bao Siyan was lying on the hospital bed, still wearing the jade bracelet on his wrist. He smiled weakly: "You know, I have never asked you for anything. Now, I ask you something." "... What?" "Live. Live in any capacity, in any way." He looked at her, "Then, if you are willing, occasionally... Think of me." Shen Man's spirit body felt severe pain at that moment - not physical pain, but the pain of his soul being torn apart. She hated this man, hated his indifference, hated his self-righteousness, hated him for causing her to experience so much pain. But she couldn't deny the truths that he hid under his indifference, the plans that he would carry out despite being infamy, the price that he paid silently... "If I survive," Shen Man's voice was trembling, "I will not forgive you. Never." Bao Siyan smiled, and it was the most relaxed smile Shen Man had seen in the ten years she had known him: "Okay. No forgiveness." The day of surgery arrived. Bo Siyan was lying in the medical cabin next to Shen Man, and their vital signs were connected. The blood jade was placed between the two of them, emitting a strange red light. The Gu family members tried to break in, but were intercepted by the troops that Bao Siyan had already arranged. Su Qianqian switched sides at the last moment and chose to help Bao Siyan - not because she forgave him, but because she finally understood that this man had never loved her, and all his madness was only for the dead woman. "Start it." Bo Siyan said to the attending doctor, and then looked at Shen Man's frozen body, "Shen Man, this time, I will wait for you." Amidst the roar of the medical equipment starting up, Shen Man felt his consciousness being pulled by a powerful force. The jade bracelet exploded into countless pieces, and red light flooded the entire room. Epilogue: Rebirth Three months later. A newly emerged technology company in Haicheng called "Nirvana" is rapidly occupying the market with its disruptive nerve regeneration technology and artificial intelligence algorithms. The founder of the company is mysterious and low-key. She has never appeared in public and is only known to be a young woman. In the first week after its establishment, Nirvana Company acquired a controlling stake in Gujia's core industry. The next week, Gu Yanzhi was arrested for multiple commercial crimes. In the third week, the Gu family declared bankruptcy. In the same month, Bo Group suffered heavy losses, with many of its core businesses targeted by Nirvana Company. There are rumors from the outside that Bo Siyan is seriously ill and there is a fierce power struggle within the group. Only a few people know the truth. In the top-floor office of the tallest building in Haicheng, a woman wearing a custom-made suit stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire city. On her wrist, she wore a bracelet re-embedded with fragments of a jade bracelet. The assistant knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Shen, the Bo Group has requested a meeting again." The woman did not look back: "Tell Bao Siyan's agent that you want to discuss cooperation and let Bao Siyan do it himself." "But... Mr. Bo is still in a coma. The doctor said he may never wake up." The woman was silent for a long time and turned around. That face was clearly that of Shen Man - but he was no longer the gentle and submissive Shen Man of the past, but a business queen with sharp eyes and a strong aura. "Then wait until he wakes up." She said calmly, "I have plenty of time." Outside the window, the city lights started to come on. Shen Man looked at himself reflected in the glass, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the fragments of the jade bracelet on his wrist. Bao Siyan, you made me wait for you for so many years. Now, it's your turn. ---
