When a top-tier star and musical genius meets a cool, reserved heir to a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, a clash of healing and redemption begins.
Lu Xiangyang, 26, is widely recognized as a songwriting genius. But at the climax of a concert before tens of thousands of fans, his hand goes into spasms, bringing his career to an abrupt halt. Western medical diagnosis: severe nerve damage. Even surgery cannot guarantee he’ll ever play again.
Song Lan, 35, is the fifth-generation successor to Xinglin Hall, a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Her exceptional acupuncture skills are renowned in the field, but past heartbreak has closed her heart, and she believes that “doctors can’t heal themselves.”
A single diagnosis brings him to her.
She places her fingers on his wrist, lowers her eyes, and declares, “Your pulse is like a fast rock beat, but deep down... I hear a broken string.”
He looks at her cool, moonlike profile, and for the first time, a harmony unlike any he’s ever known rings in his heart.
Treatment begins with six silver needles:
He grits his teeth through the pain, yet in the fragrance of her medicine, he sleeps peacefully for the first time.
She calmly administers the needles, but his impromptu humming brings tears to her eyes.
He says, “Dr. Song, you saved my hand.”
She doesn’t know what he really wants to say: You saved my light.
But the road to recovery is never smooth:
Paparazzi cameras turn toward the quiet clinic, and the rumor that “top-tier star falls for mysterious female doctor” sets the internet ablaze.
Hospital executives hint that she should “be mindful of the impact,” while her ex-boyfriend’s family spreads rumors that she brings bad luck to husbands.
Powerful backers pressure him to abandon treatment and return to the stage, while haters shout, “Traditional Chinese medicine is a scam!”...
