I Want To Spend The Rest Of My Life With You

The original title of this book was "My Achilles' Heel," which was changed to "I Want to Spend the Rest of My Life with You" upon publication

Nie Xiu is an expert in cutting-edge biopharmaceutical research, holding a doctor's degree from the UK. Upon learning the truth from years ago, he decided to take advantage of a hard-earned half-month vacation to return to his home country to apologize to his ex-girlfriend Tong Xi and express his hope to start anew with her

Tong Xi's parents died in a car accident when she was eleven. She returned to the country from Vladivostok to live with her half-sister, the online writer Tong Chunxiao. Tong Xi had two chance encounters with the young Nie Xiu at the ages of twelve and fourteen, leaving a deep impression on her. At her cousin's wedding, the two officially met and developed mutual feelings. Nie Xiu confessed his love to Tong Xi, and they quickly fell in love. They faced the challenges of a long-distance relationship.

The beauty of the evening has always made Nie Xiu feel quite insecure

Tong Chunxiao got married and had a child. Tong Xi applied to the Media Academy, hoping to fulfill her sister's dream of adapting her works into film, but this drew the dissatisfaction of Nie Xiu. After marriage, Chunxiao's life was fraught with conflicts; her husband ran away after accumulating debts, and Chunxiao fell into depression due to the pressure of debt collection, ultimately leading to her untimely death filled with resentment. Tong Xi, in great pain, took care of her sister's affairs, searched for her brother-in-law's whereabouts, and raised her young nephew, fortunate to receive help from their neighbor Shen Xiquan in Xizhen. At this moment, Nie Xiu was studying abroad in the UK and hurried back to the country, only to see Tong Xi and Shen Xiquan "cohabitating," which sparked rumors of them being in a relationship.

Nie Xiu angrily proposed to break up

Three years later, Shen Xiquan, suffering from a terminal illness, traveled abroad and met Nie Xiu in the United Kingdom. The truth behind the misunderstanding from three years ago was revealed, and Nie Xiu returned to the country to confront Tong.

Xi apologized and wanted to salvage this relationship. Tong Xi, disillusioned with marriage and romance due to her sister's death, had resolved to remain single and firmly rejected the proposal

Half a year later, Nie Xiu gave up his job abroad and returned to T University to teach, resuming his pursuit of Tong Xi. He arranged for Tong Hua's enrollment, sought the whereabouts of Jiang Wenjun for Tong Xi, and helped recommend Tong Chunxiao's posthumous works, fulfilling Tong Chunxiao's last wishes. Tong Xi was moved by Nie Xiu and gradually accepted his feelings.
