Engraved on My Heart

Qi Shi has long accepted that a life of solitude is his inevitable fate. Between the prominent scar on his face and the unapproachable aura he projects, he assumed no one would ever want to get close to him. That lingering mark was earned years ago when he stepped in to protect a classmate from bullies, an act of bravery that left him permanently disfigured. However, his quiet resignation is abruptly shattered when Nan Jue unexpectedly steps back into his world. The very classmate Qi Shi once defended has grown into a remarkably cheerful and friendly wellness expert. Grateful for the past sacrifice, Nan Jue takes it upon himself to completely transform Qi Shi’s life. He offers to rebuild his shattered self-image, guide him toward securing his dream career, and help him forge meaningful friendships. Nan Jue's dedication goes so far that he even moves directly into Qi Shi’s home to oversee this personal reinvention. Yet, as their lives become increasingly intertwined, Qi Shi begins to sense an unsettling undercurrent beneath his companion's relentless optimism. He slowly realizes that a flawless, radiant smile might simply be the perfect mask concealing a much deeper secret.
