He is Shen Jinye, a proud and cold-blooded special police assault officer. Born into a broken family and starved of love all his life, he lives like a lone wolf wandering the wilderness.
She is Xu Zhiyao, a gentle yet resilient cardiothoracic surgeon. With a scalpel in hand, she saves lives, and she is the only one willing to step into his desolate world.
From secret crushes in their school days to the joy of going from school uniforms to wedding dresses, he gave her all his fierce devotion. His badge bore witness, his vows were his promise, and she was the only light in his dark life.
A sudden special police mission, a devastating blow to the head, and he lost every memory of his past. He forgot the wife waiting for him to return safely.
Rescued by someone kind, he mistook companionship for love in his blank memories, embracing someone else and forgetting where he belonged.
She searched desperately for months, sick with longing, and waited for him with her frail body. Again and again, she told him of their sweet past, but all she got in return was his coldness and disbelief.
Watching her beloved hold someone else in his arms, all her determination crumbled. Her love was spent, and despair crushed her.
She leapt to her death, ending this hopeless vigil.
Only when her life was over did the sealed truth come to light: she had been his Host, sent to save him. She gave him all her love, and once her mission was complete, she returned to dust.
As rain poured down, he suddenly regained all his memories. He remembered all their love and promises, and stumbled into a frantic run, only to touch her cold body.
In the end, he was saved, but the gardenia girl who saved him remained forever in the time he had forgotten.
The wilderness of Jinye stretched on, but the gardenia's fragrance was gone. The love of this life had become a final farewell.
Theme: Love is not an eternal salvation. Forgetting can wear away a lifetime of devotion.
