Please help me identify this plant

We have a plant that is growing next to out lilac bush. It gets full shade at all times. I thought it might be wild ginger but it has small teeth at the edges. There is no hairs on the leaves or stems. The stems have light pale green middles with darker green edges. The under side of the stem is rounded and the top is concave. The veins continue into the leaf as this pale color and are palmade and heavy going into thinner and thinner branches to the edge. The leaf top surface is hairless, and shiny dark green, 3 to 4 inches across, heart shaped and to a point at tip. The underside is a milky army green with very ridged veins.

I found a picture on one of the other posts that look something like it but my leaves veins aren't redish, and have shaper teeth at edges. Also more of a pointed tip.

Any help is appreciated. It makes a beautiful ground cover so we are going to keep it unless it is harmful.

thanks
