Updated at Jul 18, 2025, 23:32
[Second-Chance Romance ✘ Regretful Husband ✘ OB-GYN Hero ✘ Psychologist Heroine ✘ Accidental Pregnancy ✘ Misunderstandings ✘ Adorable Baby Onboard] Qiao Mo and Xiao Zheyan’s marriage was a hasty flash wedding—no ceremony, no romance. She loved him deeply, but on their wedding day, he was urgently called back to the lab. That departure lasted three whole years. During those years, she received no word from him. No calls, no messages. It wasn’t that she hadn’t tried—every text, every voicemail, every email vanished into the void. Just as she was losing all hope, her mother-in-law was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The Xiao family’s only wish was for Qiao Mo to conceive a child using the sperm Xiao Zheyan had frozen three years prior. She agreed—not only to fulfill a dying wish, but because the child would be the bloodline of the man she still loved. But fate was merciless. Before the child could grow, her mother-in-law passed away. Her husband remained missing, and her father-in-law treated her with increasing hostility. Eventually, she was kicked out of the Xiao household. Pregnant and alone, Qiao Mo bore the pain of loss, the chill of abandonment, and the weight of public judgment. In a tiny rented room, she continued her work as a psychologist, all while silently waiting for the man who had promised her forever. Then, on a stormy night, she saved a homeless man off the street. Dirty, injured, and guarded like a wild animal, he refused her kindness—but she took him in anyway. To her shock, he turned out to be her OB-GYN—and her husband’s former research partner. Even more shocking, just a week before she gave birth, the man she had longed for—the man she thought was gone forever—suddenly returned. He appeared at her door, eyes full of complicated emotion. “Qiao Mo,” he said. “I’m back.” She looked at him coldly. “You’re too late.” Only then did he realize the extent of what she had endured—bearing his child alone, burying his mother alone, surviving heartbreak and betrayal on her own. But she was no longer the woman who had waited patiently for him. She now had a child, a thriving career, and a heart hardened by pain. And yet, he refused to let go. “Qiao Mo, I’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.” Thus began his uphill battle to win her back—but her heart may already be beyond reach. Can she forgive the man who vanished without a word for three years? What secret was he hiding behind that long silence? And what role will the mysterious homeless doctor play in the story that is still unfolding? A storm of love, regret, and redemption is about to break loose.
