[Medical genius + girl who sees ghosts + intense romantic push and pull] To escape the strange, persistent haunting that clung to her, Bai Mianmian pursued medical genius Li Yu with everything she had in college. Over five years, their love grew from youthful companionship into a longing rooted deep in their bones, only for a misunderstanding to drive them apart. The disappointment in his eyes was ice; the hurt in her heart became a knot. The lovers who had once been so close became strangers.
Years later, the gears of fate suddenly turned. When her young niece’s illness drove her to desperation, the man who had once made her heart race appeared again. But before the surgical consent form, he calmly laid down his terms: “Marry me, and I’ll perform the surgery myself.”
Amid the smell of disinfectant, she watched the emotions hidden deep behind his glasses. As her fingers tightened around the red marriage certificate, she heard her own heartbeat stumble. Back when she fought so hard to get close to him, she thought she was trying to drive the darkness from her life. She never knew that from the tenderness with which he cooked noodles for her late at night to the “cold” way he now used marriage as leverage, he had been hiding a love harder to see through than any ghost or god.
