Fate
When he was seventeen years old, Tokyo cherry blossoms fell all over the boy's shoulders.
Su Ying, who was born with a congenital heart disease, ran into Fu Yunshen's arms during her escape - the genius heir to a medical family, with a hibiscus badge embroidered on her sleeves, which symbolizes power. He put his fingertips on her fragile pulse and said with a smile that he would bet her life. The overhead light of the ambulance tore through the darkness in the rainy night. The boy covered her tearful eyes and said, "From now on, your heartbeat is under my control."
Reunion
Eight years later, in late autumn in Paris, the sweet smell of madeleines is mixed with the smell of disinfectant.
Su Ying, who became a French pastry chef, was trembling in front of the oven, and the slender figure in the glass reflection overlapped with her memory. Fu Yun deeply touched the cherry blossom birthmark under her collarbone, and the dark red mark burned under the touch: "You stole more than just my stethoscope back then." At the family reception, he bit her fingertips in public and smeared it on the rim of the champagne glass, and the blood curved into the shape of a cherry blossom on the wall of the glass.
Prison Chapter
The encrypted file in Fu's top-floor office was opened late at night, and Su Ying's mother's name was written on the yellowed postoperative record.
The words "Third Generation Pacemaker Human Experiment" flashed on the monitor screen. Fu Yunshen crushed the crystal plate containing cherry blossom mousse, and the icing sugar mixed with blood seeped into the palm prints. On the hospital bed, Su Ying wore a respirator mask and drew a wedding invitation, and the electrocardiogram carved out rugged mountains on the paper. She secretly hid the pregnancy test form, and when he signed "husband" on the consent form for surgery, the tip of the pen penetrated ten pages.
Final Chapter
On the day when the scalpel cut open the cherry blossom tattoo, it snowed for the first time in thirty years in Tokyo.
Fu Yunshen's white coat was stained with her blood, and his hands holding the surgical forceps trembled for the first time. Amidst the beeping sound of the monitor, Su Ying finally saw her seventeen-year-old self falling from the cherry blossom tree. The boy opened his arms to catch the flying flowers. The suicide note hidden at the bottom of the cake cabinet was soaked in cream and read: "It turns out it wasn't the cherry blossoms that fell on your shoulders that year, but my broken heart that blossomed."
**"When my heart stops beating, you will see the twenty-year love letter hidden in the ventricular folds"**
Intention: destiny, redemption
