Coaxing My Amnesiac Childhood Sweetheart

Su Yuyou is a twenty-year-old web novelist from a wealthy pharmaceutical family who suffers from severe amnesia following a car accident five years prior. She lives with her protective older brother Su Ziyue and maintains close friendships with Ouyang Hao and Tang Zhi. Han Yuchen, her brother’s best friend and a CEO, has harbored romantic feelings for her since before the accident, when they were childhood sweethearts. After the accident, Su Yuyou lost all memories of him and now regards him only as her brother’s friend.

The story opens with Su Yuyou attending a bar gathering with her writers’ group, where she is out of place among her working-class friends. Qingya, a fellow author, recognizes Su Yuyou’s hidden wealth and attempts to protect her. Su Yuyou accidentally drinks an alcoholic beverage laced into her juice, becomes intoxicated, and is harassed by two men. Han Yuchen arrives unexpectedly, having tracked her phone location, and rescues her. In her drunken state, Su Yuyou kisses and bites him, reigniting Han Yuchen’s buried feelings after five years of restraint.

The next morning, Han Yuchen reveals he has decided to formally pursue Su Yuyou. He confides in Su Ziyue, who warns him not to move too aggressively. Meanwhile, Su Yuyou begins experiencing vivid dreams of a young man she does not recognize. Her best friend Tang Zhi reveals that these dreams started after a traumatic car accident they witnessed six months ago, which triggered a fever and psychological episode for Su Yuyou. Tang Zhi suspects the man in her dreams is Han Yuchen, as intimate contact can sometimes catalyze memory recovery in amnesia patients.

Qingya, preparing to leave the country, warns Su Yuyou about Zuo Kai, a fellow author who has been obsessively pursuing her. Zuo Kai attempts to confess to Su Yuyou at a restaurant, but when she rejects him, he becomes aggressive and chases her vehicle. Su Yuyou suffers a panic attack and calls Han Yuchen, who rushes to her side. He secretly orchestrates the exile of Zuo Kai and his family to Africa, demonstrating the extent of his protective instincts.

Following the incident, Su Yuyou develops a fever and nightmares. Han Yuchen stays by her side, confessing his feelings while she is half-conscious. He explains that he has liked her for a long time and intends to pursue her slowly, respecting her need for time. Su Yuyou admits she felt happy upon hearing his confession, though she is confused about her emotions and memories.

Han Yuchen’s company, Shengyi Group, is restructuring its entertainment division. A foreign actress named Qiao Yuqian, who debuted in Country H, signs with Huanyu Entertainment, a subsidiary. Rumors circulate that she is Han Yuchen’s girlfriend, but she clarifies that the relationship is strategic. Qiao Yuqian reveals she knew Su Yuyou before the accident and regrets not visiting sooner. The narrative establishes that Su Yuyou’s memory recovery may be triggered by reconnection with significant people from her past, with Han Yuchen positioned as the key to unlocking her forgotten history.
