Lin Xi was born into a family at the crossroads of academia and business. Her father was a history professor at a university, her mother was the daughter of the Ye Group's chairman, and her grandfather commanded a business empire. Yet she preferred to sweat it out in the wilderness, mastering rock climbing, hiking, and bungee jumping. She lived like an untamed breeze.
Then, during an extreme climbing accident, she fell from a cliff and injured her spine. She was rushed to the city's top private hospital. The moment the operating room lights went out, she met the eyes of her surgeon, Shen Yanzhi. His white coat accentuated his cool, refined features, and though his fingertips still carried the chill of disinfectant, he had precisely stabilized her failing vital signs.
"Dr. Shen, you saved my life. Doesn't that mean you should take responsibility for me?" When she woke, Lin Xi tossed out the question half-jokingly.
Shen Yanzhi was the Shen family's only "rebel" heir. He'd given up on the family's fortune worth hundreds of billions to study medicine, becoming the youngest authority in orthopedics. A scalpel came more naturally to him than a business contract. Accustomed to keeping everything at arm's length with his cool composure, including sudden advances, he simply replied, "Miss Lin, getting better is more important."
From then on, Lin Xi's pursuit of him and her rehabilitation began in tandem.
