All Forgot Cold CEO’s Birthday, Only Poor Girl Cooked Him Longevity Noodles—Fell For Her Instantly!

In the shadowed heart of Kyoto, where power and betrayal intertwined, Jiang Wanning lived a life haunted by dreams and tangled in the webs of the Lu family’s ambitions. Her nights were plagued by visions of a man whose face she could never quite discern, his voice whispering, “You can only be mine.” These dreams, vivid and relentless, were her only escape from a reality marked by her father’s cruelty and her mother’s suffering.

Wanning’s father, a man driven by greed and status, saw her as a tool to elevate the Jiang family’s standing. He pushed her toward Lu Qingzhou, a kind-hearted doctor and the illegitimate son of the Lu family, hoping to leverage his connection to Lu Beiye, the enigmatic and feared head of the Lu empire. Beiye, known as Uncle Wu, was a man of contradictions—ruthless in business, yet tormented by insomnia and nightmares of his own, stemming from a childhood marred by his father’s murder and his own near-death experience.

Wanning’s engagement to Qingzhou was meant to secure her family’s future, but her dreams grew more intense, each one drawing her closer to the mysterious man who claimed her as his own. At a Lu family banquet, she met Beiye, and the truth unraveled: he was the man from her dreams, the one who saw her butterfly birthmark in his own restless nights. Beiye, obsessed and unyielding, believed their shared dreams were proof of their destined bond. He declared, “No matter where you go, I’ll find you,” his words both a promise and a threat.

As Wanning navigated her loyalty to Qingzhou and her fear of Beiye’s possessive nature, she uncovered a darker plot. Qingzhou, once her savior, had orchestrated their meeting two years prior, knowing of Beiye’s dreams and using Wanning as a pawn to undermine him. His gentle facade masked a calculating ambition to seize control of the Lu family. Betrayed, Wanning confronted Qingzhou, her heart breaking as she realized their love was built on lies. “You planned it all,” she accused, her voice trembling with rage and sorrow.

Beiye, despite his domineering ways, showed unexpected depths. He saved Wanning’s mother from her abusive father and secretly arranged a bone marrow transplant to cure her leukemia, risking his own fragile health. His insomnia, a curse since childhood, eased only in Wanning’s presence, making her his “cure.” Yet, his methods were often cruel, his love a double-edged sword that both protected and confined her.

The climax came in a warehouse where Qingzhou, now desperate, held Wanning and her mother hostage, demanding Beiye’s life. Beiye arrived, knowing it was a trap, and offered himself to save Wanning. In a moment of chaos, Wanning’s mother was nearly killed, but Beiye’s intervention ensured their safety. Qingzhou’s schemes unraveled as Beiye’s mother, the true power behind the Lu family, exposed his treachery. The share transfer agreement Qingzhou had coerced was revealed to be a fake, orchestrated by Beiye to trap his enemies.

In the aftermath, Wanning faced a choice. Qingzhou, broken and remorseful, begged for her forgiveness, but his actions had shattered her trust. Beiye, flawed but fiercely devoted, had given everything—his empire, his health, his heart—to protect her. At the place where they first met as children, Beiye proposed, offering the bracelet they had wished upon years ago. “Will you marry me?” he asked, his voice soft with vulnerability.

Wanning, seeing the boy who had survived a frozen temple and the man who had risked everything for her, said yes. Their wedding was a celebration of survival and love, attended by her mother, now recovering, and Beiye’s mother, who welcomed Wanning as a daughter. As they named their unborn child Lu Chaoyang, symbolizing a new dawn, Wanning knew she had found her place—not in dreams, but in a reality forged through sacrifice and redemption.
