Pregnant with a tycoon's child, I lost my memory

Song Qiao is a twenty-six-year-old lacquerware studio owner and the only daughter of a wealthy pharmaceutical family. Despite her family’s expectations that she take over the business, she pursued her passion for traditional crafts, establishing a studio that was nearly saved from bankruptcy by a mysterious client who places massive orders without ever making contact. She has been in a six-year relationship with Chen Yang, a man who rose from a humble rural background to become a general manager in her family’s company. Their relationship is marked by Chen Yang’s gentle demeanor but also by his emotional unavailability and his mother’s overt hostility toward Song Qiao. The central tension begins when Song Qiao suffers from recurring vivid dreams of an athletic, broad-shouldered man after a car accident, leaving her confused and distressed. Seeking answers, she visits Nanshan Temple, where a monk reveals that she shares a karmic bond spanning three lifetimes with the man in her dreams. Coincidentally, she encounters Xie Yanli, the cold and powerful heir to the Xie Group and her first love from a decade ago, at the temple. Their past relationship ended bitterly when Xie Yanli broke up with her to study abroad, only for Song Qiao to later discover he had been seeing her rival, Jiang Xinhui, behind her back.

The narrative intensifies as Song Qiao prepares for her engagement to Chen Yang, only to face increasing hostility from his mother, Xu Qin. During a dinner to discuss marriage terms, Xu Qin refuses to provide a bride price, claiming poverty, while simultaneously pressuring Song Qiao to pay a traditional "waist money" gift. Chen Yang fails to defend Song Qiao, choosing instead to placate his mother and eventually leaving Song Qiao alone at the restaurant to comfort his crying mother. Devastated and humiliated, Song Qiao breaks down in public, where she is confronted by Xie Yanli. He mocks her devotion to a man who clearly does not respect her, suggesting Chen Yang will eventually cheat on her. This encounter leads Song Qiao to a class reunion where she is dragged in by a drunk friend, Shen Huaichuan. At the reunion, a game of "I Have, You Haven't" spirals out of control. When Xie Yanli reveals he had a one-night stand, and Jiang Xinhui claims to still be a virgin, Song Qiao, in a moment of drunken defiance and confusion, claims she is also a virgin. This inadvertently fuels rumors that Xie Yanli is impotent, a scandal that quickly spreads across Beijing’s elite circles via a journalist tipped off by Shen Huaichuan.

The rumor crisis creates a pivotal turning point. Xie Yanli, furious at the public humiliation and the implication that he is incapable, confronts Song Qiao. Meanwhile, Song Qiao’s engagement to Chen Yang begins to crumble under the weight of his mother’s demands and Chen Yang’s continued passivity. When Song Qiao attempts to break up with Chen Yang, he manipulates her with tears and promises to change, causing her to hesitate. However, the growing rift between her and Chen Yang’s family becomes undeniable. Xie Yanli’s presence looms large over these events; he is revealed to have returned to China specifically because of news of her engagement, indicating his unresolved feelings. The mysterious client who saves Song Qiao’s studio adds another layer of intrigue, with her friend Shen Yao suspecting the buyer has romantic intentions. The story moves toward a confrontation between Song Qiao’s duty to her long-term partner and the chaotic, unresolved history with Xie Yanli, while the temple’s prophecy of a three-life bond suggests that her dream man is inextricably linked to her fated path.

As the chapters progress, the dynamic between Song Qiao and Xie Yanli shifts from bitter enemies to a complex entanglement. Xie Yanli’s cold exterior masks a deep-seated jealousy and a desire to protect Song Qiao from the manipulative environment created by Chen Yang and his mother. The rumor of his impotence, whether true or fabricated, serves as a catalyst that forces both characters to re-evaluate their pasts. Song Qiao begins to see Chen Yang’s true nature more clearly, realizing that his "good treatment" is a form of control that leaves her isolated. Conversely, Xie Yanli is forced to confront the pain of their past breakup and the years of silence. The narrative sets the stage for Song Qiao to potentially leave Chen Yang, not just because of the mother’s abuse, but because of a fundamental incompatibility in values and respect. The mysterious client’s identity remains a key plot device, potentially linked to Xie Yanli or another powerful figure, adding economic and romantic stakes to her professional life. The story is driven by the tension between societal expectations, family pressure, and the protagonist’s growing realization that her dreams and her reality are converging around the man she once thought she hated.

The trajectory of the story points toward a resolution where Song Qiao must choose between the safe, familiar path with Chen Yang and the dangerous, passionate uncertainty with Xie Yanli. The temple’s prophecy suggests that her connection with Xie Yanli is not merely romantic but karmic, implying that their separation was a mistake destined to be corrected. Chen Yang’s mother’s prejudice and Chen Yang’s inability to stand up for Song Qiao serve as the primary obstacles to her happiness, while Xie Yanli’s pride and the lingering misunderstandings from their youth act as barriers to reconciliation. The climax likely involves the exposure of Chen Yang’s infidelity or deeper deceit, forcing Song Qiao to finally break free. Simultaneously, the mystery of the dreams and the three-lifetime bond will be unraveled, confirming Xie Yanli as the man from her dreams. The resolution will require Song Qiao to assert her independence, both financially through her studio and emotionally by rejecting the submissive role imposed on her by her fiancé’s family. The story concludes with the potential union of Song Qiao and Xie Yanli, overcoming the social and personal barriers that kept them apart, fulfilling the destiny hinted at by the monk at Nanshan Temple.
