“Marry me. I’ll help you save someone, and while I’m at it… I’ll help you get revenge.”
On the darkest day of her life, Mi Jiu’er suffers one devastating blow after another: her boyfriend of three years cheats on her for money, her closest friend betrays her and steals her designs, her father is bedridden after a stroke, and her mother urgently needs surgery. Just as she is driven to the brink, Wen Yanchen, the brilliant neurosurgeon rumored to be sinister and cold-blooded, with life and death in his hands, steps in front of her with a marriage contract worth a fortune.
“Sign it and become Mrs. Wen. From now on, I’ll deal with your enemies, and I’ll take charge of your life.”
Mi Jiu’er thinks it’s just a straightforward transaction, and that all she needs to do after the wedding is treat him with mutual respect. Little does she know that, to this seemingly aloof and abstinent man, she has long been the light he has watched from the darkness for three years.
After the wedding, everything changes. Her scumbag ex begs her to get back together? Dr. Wen calmly puts on his sterile gloves. “A dislocated wrist or a nerve block, take your pick.” Her scheming friend steals her designs? Dr. Wen immediately produces surveillance footage and a lawyer’s letter. “Touch my wife’s work, and you’ll pay for it.” Just as Mi Jiu’er thinks she has had her revenge and can leave in triumph, the man corners her against the wall, his eyes red. His fingertips tremble as he kisses her with near-obsessive intensity. “Mi Jiu’er, you provoked a madman and think you can run? You’ll never escape my grasp for the rest of your life!”
It turns out that every chance encounter and every transaction was part of his carefully laid, long-standing plan. He uses his medical skills to save the world, yet when it comes to her, he is beyond saving, with no cure in sight.
