Amy Wang's school recently had a young teacher come to teach Biology. She often heard her friends talk about the new teacher's handsome looks, but Amy was naturally aloof and rarely paid attention to others. Until one day, during Biology class, she was stunned when she saw the teacher—it was the regular customer who had recently frequented her father's small noodle shop.
Jasper Scott only had two days to take over the job from the retiring teacher. During those two days, he was told about a poor but academically excellent and strong-willed student, Amy Wang.
Initially, Jasper only cared about Amy as an example of resilience. But the more he interacted with her, the more he realized she carried an invisible fear—fear of affection, fear of intimacy, fear of being hurt. Amy always avoided his gaze, believing that her existence was a stain on his pure world.
However, it was Amy's quietness that made Jasper want to get closer. Between two wounded souls—he lost his mother young, she suffered abuse from her adoptive father—they found each other. In the short days before graduation, they fell in love, simply yet intensely.
When Amy graduated from high school, they officially started dating.
Tragedy struck when Levy Scott—Jasper's father—died in a mysterious car accident. The police found that the car that caused the accident belonged to Jasper's maternal half-brother, but Jasper didn't believe it. As soon as the funeral ended, he suffered a severe heart attack and fell into a coma.
At that moment, Fiona Conal appeared, claiming to be Jasper's biological mother, bringing a cruel offer:
"If you leave my son, I will save his life."
For love, Amy agreed to disappear. No one knew that Fiona was indirectly responsible for Levy Scott's death to conceal an illicit relationship in the past.
A month later, Amy enrolled in college and met Alice Chad, her roommate, who had a face identical to hers. The Chad family quickly realized that Amy was their youngest daughter, lost 18 years ago.
From a poor girl, Amy became the young lady of the powerful Chad family. But her heart still belonged to Jasper. She begged her biological parents to help Jasper with his heart condition, but they refused, revealing that Levy Scott was once suspected of attempting to murder her father, John Chad, 20 years ago.
Amy was desperate. When she sought out Jasper, she painfully discovered that Alice—her twin sister—had impersonated her, cruelly breaking up with him in the hospital. Hearing the recording again, Amy could only cry, while Jasper—believing she had betrayed him—cut off all contact.
Amy left the country, starting a new life, carrying an unhealed wound in her heart.
Seven years later, they met again at a partnership signing ceremony between two major corporations.
Jasper Scott was now the CEO of the world's leading biotechnology corporation. Amy Chad—the once poor girl—was now the talented director of the Chad corporation.
In the brightly lit hall, their eyes met for the first time in seven years—cold, yet trembling.
Amy was proactive, and Jasper avoided her. He thought he had forgotten, but every time she smiled, the past resurfaced. She tried to appear proud, while he hid his feelings with indifference. Neither of them knew that—they were on the verge of a new secret.
A year later, the police caught the real culprit in the attack on John Chad, proving Levy Scott innocent. But Amy was now engaged to another man, Dr. Andrew, who had saved Jasper's life.
At the engagement ceremony, as Andrew placed the ring, Jasper suddenly appeared.
"If you still love me, don't let anyone else touch your hand."
The entire hall fell silent, and Amy dropped the ring.
After getting back together, Amy discovered that Jasper was being forced by his biological mother to be a "scapegoat" for the person who killed his father, in exchange for control of the company. At the same time, the Chad family discovered that the person who kidnapped Amy years ago was Amber Leen, her paternal aunt's wife, who was manipulating Fiona Conal to seize assets.
Amy and Jasper teamed up to expose everything. Layer after layer of secrets were peeled back: Amber had been madly in love with John Chad—Amy's biological father; because she was rejected, she kidnapped Amy for revenge against Mary Chad. It was Amber who forced Fiona to take stimulants, leading to the tragic night that caused Levy Scott's wrongful death.
When the whole truth was revealed, Jasper collapsed from a heart attack. Amy didn't leave anymore – she stayed, holding his hand through every critical moment.
After recovering, Jasper announced his resignation, leaving the world of power. He chose a simple path – becoming a biological researcher, fulfilling his youthful dream.
Amy asked him:
"Aren't you afraid to start over from scratch?"
He smiled:
"As long as you still choose me, there's nothing to be afraid of."
The story concluded with a wedding in the
