Zhi Xin accidentally transmigrates into an erotic novel and is forced to bind herself to a life-prolonging System. To survive, she must keep tempting Wen Ruxue, the aloof, untouchable beauty, and earn his Heartbeat Points.
Wen Ruxue is indifferent and powerful. From the very start, he sees that Zhi Xin has ulterior motives, and he keeps his guard up, resisting her with all his heart. Yet whenever she takes the initiative to approach him, his body always loses control before his reason can catch up. He loathes this involuntary reaction, and struggles against it.
He goes from treating her coldly to gradually giving in, and ultimately becomes willing to let her use him. Though he knows everything is a calculated ploy, he still gives her his whole heart. Once she has saved enough points, Zhi Xin no longer needs him to keep herself alive. To escape for good, she carefully plans her departure, travels far away to the water towns of Jiangnan, and settles into a peaceful life undisturbed by anyone.
When Wen Ruxue learns that Zhi Xin has fled, his hair turns white overnight and his mind grows increasingly unsteady. Night and day, he is tormented by nightmares filled with her. When he wakes, only boundless loneliness remains. He is even afraid to close his eyes, living in endless longing and pain.
When his subordinate finally discovers that Zhi Xin isn't dead at all, Wen Ruxue rushes to Jiangnan like a madman. But when he sees her chatting happily with a strange man, a fierce jealousy instantly consumes him.
Late that night, Wen Ruxue sneaks into Zhi Xin's room and kisses her in a frenzy, his force so overwhelming that it wakes her. She opens her eyes and meets his bloodshot gaze. Aggrieved and possessive, he holds her captive in his arms. The next moment, Wen Ruxue buries his face against her neck. Scalding tears fall as he trembles with the madness of having found her again. In a hoarse whisper, he murmurs, "You can't escape me now, Xin'er."
