Blurb for this novel:

[Sweet and gentle amnesiac heroine x devoted, scheming hero]

Wang Chu woke up after a car accident with some of her memories gone, but with a boyfriend by her side.

Her boyfriend had broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs. He was handsome, and he was rich.

Most importantly, he treated her very well. Extremely well.

He was the very model of a twenty-four-filial-piety boyfriend.

She had lost her memories and was uncomfortable with the two of them being physically intimate, so he voluntarily moved into the guest room.

When she had menstrual cramps, he took her to see a traditional Chinese doctor. When she needed nourishing meals, he rolled up his sleeves and cooked for her. When she entered a competition, he had a custom app made just for her...

He was endlessly gentle and considerate, and Wang Chu gradually became immersed in their relationship. She believed every memory he had woven for her was real.

Even when fragments of the past flashed through her mind, her headache made her instinctively resist remembering more.

They were a deeply devoted couple who couldn't live without each other.

She believed that without a doubt.

So she let herself indulge in his good looks and enjoy every moment.

Until...

The scenes buried in the depths of her hazy memories erupted like a volcano.

Her nightmares were filled with scenes of the man running out of a rain-soaked alley.

A bloodstained baseball bat, blood flowing across the ground, and those sinister eyes washed by the rain.

Wang Chu suddenly remembered:

There was more than one person she had forgotten.

The first thing Wang Chu did after regaining her memories was pack her bags and prepare to run away. But before she could step out the door, he carried her back and threw her onto the bed.

The man's manner was fierce and menacing, nothing like the gentleness he had shown before.

The warm hands that had once comforted her tenderly traced the fragile veins on her wrist, inch by inch. His trembling voice was full of malice and menace.

“Baby, you've already marked me as yours.”

“We made a promise. You can't abandon me.”

The Jian family's business had run into serious trouble lately, and the stress sent Old Jian to the hospital.

The entire burden of the company fell on Jian Yunxi, but her hands, trained for painting, could hardly keep the failing business afloat.

With all her efforts yielding little result, Jian Yunxi had no choice but to set her sights on the man she had only met a few times at the hospital.

On the tree-lined path in the hospital's VIP wing,

she gathered her courage and stood before him. In a low voice, she said, “Mr. Wen, I heard you need someone to marry.”

“...Do you think I would suit you?”

Cicadas sang in the height of summer, but the man's gaze was cold and penetrating. His dark eyes held unfathomable depths, impossible to read.

Pressed by his imposing presence, Jian Yunxi felt so uneasy that she wanted to back out.

Just as she thought there was no way forward, the man spoke in a cold voice:

“Miss Jian, I'm getting married because I don't want my father to die with regrets.”

“For this partnership, we both have to be willing.”

Jian Yunxi had heard about Wen Lie long ago.

He was the illegitimate son of the Wen family, abandoned overseas. Yet a year ago, he had fought his way back to Yucheng and become the Wen family's new head.

Rumor had it that he was ruthless, sinister, and decisive, so much so that he hadn't even spared his own father.

But what Jian Yunxi saw at the hospital was a man who stayed by his father's bedside and personally pushed the wheelchair, taking his father, who had suffered a stroke and could no longer speak, downstairs to bask in the sun.

She thought that seeing was indeed believing, while hearsay was unreliable.

What she didn't know was that after leaving the tree-lined path that day, the tall man in a black suit bent down in front of the wheelchair. The corner of his mouth lifted, but no warmth reached his eyes.

He raised a hand to brush his collar, looking at the middle-aged man before him, who glared at him furiously but could do nothing. His tone was mocking.

“I didn't expect you to still be of some use.”

Theme: Love is something you can't push away or tear apart.
