Summary
Highlights
The protagonist recounts a past life filled with betrayal, forced abortion, and being sold to mountains, leading to a life worse than death. Upon being reborn, she flees and raises her child, Xiaobao, independently.
While at an interview, the protagonist's son, Xiaobao, is mistaken for a kidnapped child by a kind old man, who turns out to be the CEO's father. Xiaobao affectionately calls him 'Grandpa,' sparking a strange connection.
The CEO, Fu Xingye, has suffered from insomnia for eight years. A bizarre encounter leads to the protagonist accidentally curing his insomnia. Seizing the opportunity, the CEO's father, eager for grandchildren, arranges for her to marry his son, offering a substantial bride price despite her hesitation and the fact she has a child.
Fu Xingye begins to suspect a connection to the woman from his dreams. He grants the protagonist a 30-day cooling-off period but is intrigued by her ability to cure his insomnia. Meanwhile, the protagonist's manipulative family attempts to drug her and marry her to a 'Mr. Li' from the Fu Group, only to discover she's already married to the actual CEO.
The protagonist's family, including her father and stepmother, plot against her, initially trying to force her to marry 'Liu the Cripple' for dowry money. The arrival of Fu Xingye and his family exposes their scheme and saves her and Xiaobao, with her family facing repercussions for damaging Fu Xingye's car and their malicious actions.
The narrative revisits an earlier memory with Fu Xingye where he is drugged by Huang Yun. It's revealed that Huang Yun has been manipulating events for eight years, causing memory loss for both the protagonist and Fu Xingye in an attempt to separate them and claim Fu Xingye for herself.
Huang Yun reveals her own rebirth and her intricate plan to separate the protagonist from Fu Xingye. She admits to orchestrating the memory loss and attempts to endanger Xiaobao to force the protagonist's hand, demonstrating her deep-seated jealousy and obsession with Fu Xingye.
Fu Xingye recovers his memories, understanding that Huang Yun's rebirth involves two time coordinates tied to the meteorite. He realizes her motive was to use Xiaobao's DNA to access a safe containing the coordinates, allowing her to control their destinies. He secures the company to prevent her from achieving her goal.
A confrontation ensues with Huang Yun, who confesses her abnormal love for Fu Xingye and her efforts to keep him for herself. She uses another memory-erasing injection on the protagonist, hoping to sever their connection permanently. Fu Xingye asserts his love for his wife, regardless of memory.
Despite the memory loss, the protagonist joins Fu's company, determined to provide for Xiaobao. Her family, still clinging to their schemes, tries to use her connection to 'Mr. Li' for their advancement, unaware of the true identities and relationships. Xiaobao encourages his father to pursue his mother and win her over again.
At the company, the protagonist is publicly humiliated by her family and the 'fake' Mr. Li, who believe she is a mere floor sweeper. Fu Xingye intervenes, exposing the true identities and the fraud committed by the 'Mr. Li' and subsequently holding her family accountable for their malicious acts.
Fu Xingye and the protagonist use a memory-restoring device. Through intimate connection, their lost memories resurface, and they recall their shared past, confirming Xiaobao is their child. The Professor reveals that the device functions by touch, implying the depth of their connection rather than a complex procedure is what was truly needed.
A flashback reveals Fu Xingye's encounter with a meteorite containing special elements, which he believes holds information related to the fourth dimension (time). This 'stone' becomes a key element in understanding the memory loss and rebirth phenomenon.
