The Heartbeat in the IOU

share time: 2026-01-24 00:38:29

Su Xiao, a top female entrepreneur, has her brand launch interrupted by her ex-husband Lin Chuan asking for money. She slams a check in his face in disgust, mocking him publicly: "I gave you money when we divorced—now you're so poor you sell your dignity?" She doesn't see the crumpled diagnosis in his pocket—her heart transplant rejection has reached a critical point. To raise money for her second surgery, Lin Chuan works as a waiter at a high-end restaurant during the day, getting splashed with wine and called a "beggar" by customers, and carries cement bags at a construction site until midnight. Five years ago, he donated his heart to the dying Su Xiao and even lied about "cheating" to divorce her, fearing he'd hinder her career. When Su Xiao finds the payment receipt with her name in Lin Chuan's rental house, she realizes: the "gold-digger" she insulted has been using half his life to keep her heart beating.
