The One He Could Never Forget

On a stormy night, at the pediatric emergency department of Jinghua Hospital.

Lin Nian rushes into the resuscitation room, drenched, and sees a man bending over to wipe a sick child’s tears. His dark coat and straight shoulders seem completely at odds with the chaos around them. He looks up at her. “The doctor’s here.”

He is Shen Ji, the youngest director-general in politics and a central figure in the third generation of the Shen family, a man who should be far above the clouds.

She is Lin Nian, a gifted pediatrician who was sidelined for refusing to submit to sexual harassment, yet remains steadfast on the front line of emergency care.

After that night, he forcefully enters her world.

When she works the night shift, his car is always parked across from the hospital. When she is framed, he quashes the rumors within three hours and hands her a key. “Stay at my place for now, or I’ll keep watch until dawn.”

Lin Nian gives in, thinking it’s only a temporary stay.

But on the seventh night, she hears him ask, “Have I passed this week?” She nods. He kisses her forehead. “Then starting today, you’re mine.”

Living together becomes a gentle contest.

He wears an apron and researches recipes for pregnancy, while she writes medical papers in his shirt. He handles classified documents in the study while she analyzes case data next door. She protests that he’s being overprotective, and he relents. “Then you drive, and I’ll sit in the passenger seat.” She discovers a surgical simulation room set up just for her at home, equipped with a startling array of instruments.

At work, they make a perfectly in-sync “doctor couple.”

She sets up a center for children with rare diseases, and he just happens to become its policy adviser. She performs a high-risk operation while he holds the fort in the family waiting area, calming the commotion with a single glance. When a pharmaceutical representative tries to bribe her, he has the company blacklisted at an industry summit.
