Qi Ningchuan was born a favorite of heaven, with a wealthy family and a life without a single setback.

Later, he entered the entertainment industry and became a powerful figure, a notorious rich second-generation who everyone stayed out of the way of.

No one expected Wen Heqing, a rising new actress who had become famous since entering the industry and had no scandals, to get involved with Qi Ningchuan.

To Qi Ningchuan, Wen Heqing was a perfect lover: obedient and sensible, gentle by nature, and never doing anything against his wishes.

He had a violent temper, was always sleeping around, and when he came home, Wen Heqing never asked any questions. She simply took good care of him.

Even when, on a cold and rainy night, he made the sick Wen Heqing beg someone else for work, she never got angry with him, not even once.

As long as Qi Ningchuan was willing to turn back, Wen Heqing would be there, as if she would wait forever for him to come home.

He thought that was what forever with Wen Heqing meant.

Forever tied together, forever unable to leave him.

Until one day, Qi Ningchuan, who had heart disease, underwent a second heart transplant.

When he was discharged and had recovered, he couldn't find Wen Heqing anywhere.

His little canary had flown away.

Wen Heqing would always remember the day Li Chuan left this world.

Her Brother Chuan was a wonderful person. He had been hit by a gray-blue truck and torn to pieces while saving a child who had been struck by a car.

From that day on, a huge hole had opened up in Wen Heqing's world.

Half a month later, Wen Heqing happened to hear that a celebrity surnamed Qi had received Brother Chuan's heart.

Only then did she learn that the man named Qi Ningchuan carried the last proof that Brother Chuan had ever been in this world.

She tried to get close, but every humiliation and hurt she endured reminded Wen Heqing that Brother Chuan would never treat her that way.

But she wanted Brother Chuan's heart, so even if she had to crawl, she would make her way to that man's side.

Then one day, Brother Chuan's heart was gone.

And Wen Heqing's world healed as if it had never been broken.

Facing her former partner, Wen Heqing smiled serenely and said to the man who used to look down on her, "Thank you."

Qi Ningchuan was a mess, rain soaking the ends of his hair. He clutched the hem of her damp clothes in both hands and asked in a hoarse voice, "Wen Heqing... did you ever love me at all?"

Wen Heqing answered calmly, "Mr. Qi, I didn't."

"From beginning to end, I loved Li Chuan, not Qi Ningchuan."

"To be more precise, I admit I loved the heart in your chest, the one that used to belong to Brother Chuan."

Her voice was soft, touched with a faint hint of pity. "But you don't have a heart anymore. How could you love me?"
