*Romance > solving cases / Both leads are righteous / Both are virgins / 1v1 / Happy ending*
Ni Yang is gentle, refined, and slow to warm up. Her exceptional hearing and creativity have made her an outstanding foley artist, and everyone sees her as a beautiful, gentle young woman from a well-off family.
It's as if the darkest secret of her past, when she was kidnapped and taken to a strange village fifteen years ago, has vanished completely.
Then Chen Yunan appears, and those unbearable memories come flooding back.
The tall, lean man stands in a crisp police uniform, gazing at her with deep, hawk-like eyes and an expressionless face. "We meet again."
Back then, in a small mountain village, she was mistaken for the kidnapper's adopted daughter, while he was a police officer investigating the kidnapping ring.
In the ensuing chaos, Chen Yunan's mentor died in that village.
Clearly, neither of them brings back happy memories for the other.

Later, an unseen hand draws them into a series of cases. The harder they try to escape, the more entangled they become. They join forces to pursue the truth, until it slowly begins to emerge...
One day, the man pins her against the wall of her dim, cramped foley studio, his eyes shining like stars. "You can make sound effects, can't you? Tell me, what does my name sound like?"
She looks up at him and creates the sound of three heartbeats: "Thump, thump. Thump, thump. Thump, thump."
His gaze burns as he stares at her, unable to look away.

Deep inside a dilapidated house, Ni Yang is tied up with her hands behind her back and tape over her mouth, held hostage by criminals hiding out there.
While they're gone, she secretly turns on the speakerphone on the mobile hidden behind her. Then she pounds the floor with all her strength: thump, thump, thump...
Ten minutes later, Chen Yunan bursts through the door in his police uniform.
His eyes are bloodshot as he looks at the girl raising her head in distress, his gaze full of concern.
At that moment, two voices speak without a sound.
"Your name is the sound of my heartbeat. When I knock three times in a row, it means the character Nan."
"No matter how far away you are, call my name and I'll come."
"Proud, hot-tempered police captain X easygoing, straightforward foley artist"
