• Pei Yizhou refuses the idea of forgetting her, saying that as long as he remembers her, she remains alive.

Chapter 87 Summary

• Pei Yizhou helps him grieve: Pei keeps watch over Zimo through the night. When Zimo tries to harm himself again after waking, Pei restrains him and reminds him that dying would leave fewer people to remember An Xiang. He also recalls An Xiang’s wish that Zimo live well and become a gentle, dependable person. These words break through Zimo’s emotional numbness, and he cries intensely for the first time.
• Zimo begins to recover: After several quiet days of eating and sleeping normally, Zimo visits An Xiang’s grave with Pei Yizhou. There, he declares that he wants to create a miracle medicine capable of preventing illness and pain. This gives him a purpose and transforms his grief into determination.
• Father-son bond develops: Zimo asks whether Pei will ever forget An Xiang. Pei assures him that she will always be his wife. Zimo begins to recognize that Pei is not a bad father and accepts him as his remaining family. He asks to study etiquette so he can become the gentle person his mother wanted him to be. Pei carries him home, and the two share a renewed sense of closeness.
• Investigation into An Xiang’s death: While Zimo starts rebuilding his life, Pei investigates An Yanze. He learns that Yanze has isolated himself, dealt with several An family members, and remains connected to the chaos surrounding An Corporation.
