He is the youngest deputy director in cardiac surgery, a cold and solitary god of abstinence in everyone’s eyes. He looks so handsome in a suit and shirt that the world could run out of space, but his serious, meticulous, penny-pinching nature doesn’t make him very popular.
She is a medical student nearing graduation. As a child, she received a heart transplant after an accident, and her family is drowning in debt. Her dreams have been shattered, and her life is riddled with all kinds of bugs. Her intelligence and looks seem to suffer from a bad connection, working well one moment and poorly the next. A combination of silly sweetheart and beautiful but tragic makes her a “silly, beautiful tragedy.” Having accepted that her life is destined to be a failure, she prepares to live on the lowest possible energy and with the fewest possible demands.
Ding Xuan has no idea why Jin Jilan brought her to his lab, or how she ended up interning in cardiac surgery and becoming his academic grandstudent. As her teachers and friends help melt the “unlucky puppy,” her true happy-puppy nature gradually comes out, drawing his attention more and more.
After discovering that Professor Jin is the angel she once glimpsed while half-asleep in the intensive care unit after her heart surgery, Ding Xuan falls into a long, unrequited love. She gradually realizes that his arrogant, cold, bad-tempered persona is just an act: in truth, he is conscientious and kind. After she confesses her feelings openly and in private several times and is rejected, she finally leaves for good. Only then does Jin Jilan realize that his feelings have become too deep to resist, and he can only embark on this forbidden romance.

As Ding Xuan falls into the sweetness of love, she has no idea that an even bigger secret is waiting for her.
What she thought was fate had been driven by ulterior motives all along.
