Piecing Together the Memories for You

Original online singer x super-rich history professor

[Marriage First, Love Later / Not Amnesia / An Old Flame Rekindled]

For half a year after their wedding, Yan Chi never told Cheng Sinian that the first time she saw him was on a rainy night when she was being chased.

The narrow alley was dark and gloomy. The man held up an umbrella and strode through the rain toward her. Without a second thought, Yan Chi ducked beneath it, carrying her guqin on her back. When he left, the man handed her the umbrella.

Yan Chi held her mask in place but did not take the umbrella. Still, she remembered him.

Refined, mysterious, and strikingly intense: that was the impression the man left on her.

Half a year later, at a banquet, Yan Chi unexpectedly ran into her ex-boyfriend, who had broken up with her when her family went bankrupt, and was publicly humiliated by him.

For the second time, Cheng Sinian came to her rescue.

She thanked him sincerely. The man studied her with his dark eyes for a while, then suddenly said, "Let's properly introduce ourselves. I'm your husband, Cheng Sinian."

Yan Chi had never imagined she would have anything to do with Cheng Sinian.

He was the youngest professor in the history department, with a refined appearance that concealed a devilish nature.

He was the second son of the Cheng family, rulers of a business empire. Everyone knew he was the Cheng family's taboo.

No one had faith in the marriage between a fallen heiress and the second son of the Cheng family, until people saw Cheng Sinian wrap Yan Chi in his oversized coat and take her to a corner of the narrow alley, pinning her there.

Everyone reached two conclusions:

Even the refined professor had a wild side.

Yan Chi was the second son's taboo.

Yan Chi did not know that half a year earlier, Cheng Sinian had stood beneath the attic with their marriage certificate in his hands, listening to the sound of a guqin. The scattered fragments that had drifted through time for a thousand years suddenly came together in his mind, without warning, as if they had always been part of their story.

When Yan Chi, wearing a mask, ran beneath his umbrella, she stirred memories a thousand years old. At that moment, he knew she had returned.

Their reunion was destined, their genes reunited across the boundaries of history.
