Father’s Hidden Legacy

This story unfolds around the emotional bond between Ross and Deborah. Ross is a gentle and careful architect who is attracted to Deborah the moment they meet in the bookstore. He senses her fear and unease behind her quiet appearance, and his ordinary kindness gradually turns into deep affection and a strong desire to protect. Deborah, on the other hand, lives in endless torment. For years, her memory has been repeatedly tampered with, and she cannot distinguish reality from lies.
She is surrounded by monitors and threats, forced to take heavy medicine, and lives like a puppet manipulated by others. After discovering the strange truth about Deborah, Ross never chooses to leave. He takes risks to investigate clues, confront dangerous institutions and armed men again and again, just to free the woman he loves from the nightmare. In the process of fleeing and exploring the truth, their feelings grow deeper.
When Deborah loses her memory of Ross and regards him as a stranger, he does not give up. He patiently guides her, awakens her fragmented memories bit by bit, and lets her feel sincere warmth amid chaos and fear. Deborah's biggest struggle is not escaping from the hunters, but reconciling with her split self. Multiple versions of memories tangle in her mind, making her confused and painful. With Ross's company and guidance, she bravely faces the past: the truth of her father's fake death, the conspiracy of the illegal experiment, and all the sufferings she has endured.
She gradually walks out of the shadow of being controlled, finds her true identity, and falls in love with Ross again with a complete heart. After the turmoil settles, they do not indulge in the peace easily. Deborah uses her experience to help more victims of memory damage, turning her pain into strength. They hold a simple wedding at the place where they first met, vowing to guard each other forever.
Deborah's chip has been removed and her basic cognition has returned to normal, but the long-term memory tampering has left invisible psychological scars. Will these hidden wounds suddenly flare up and affect her peaceful life in the future? Moreover, the love between Ross and Deborah was born in danger and hardships. When they face trivial daily troubles, can their deep feelings always remain as firm as before?
