From kindergarten all the way to graduate school, then from competing with classmates to battling colleagues in the same hospital, medical master’s students Weng Kangli and Li Shutong are the undisputed champions of bickering in the medical world.
Weng Kangli is slick-tongued and lazy, with solid surgical skills but a knack for cutting corners. He’s quick and brutal when arguing, yet soft-hearted and averse to trouble. Li Shutong is meticulous and sharp-tongued, an obsessive perfectionist who fixates on every detail in internal medicine. She’s fiercely competitive and always hits the mark when she fires back, though she secretly has a soft spot for her own people. They should have been rivals competing in both research and clinical work, but fate forces them onto the same team under their supervisor. They fight over lab space and academic opportunities, sabotage each other during clinical practice, and even argue while staying up late to finish literature reviews.
Things get even livelier when Cong Ruotong joins the fray. She’s been pursuing love for ten years, and her straightforward, muddled attempts at courtship become Weng Kangli’s “sweet burden” and Li Shutong’s “special sparring partner.” Their circle of friends includes sharp-tongued troublemakers, devoted husbands, and gossipy besties. They watch the bickering and offer all kinds of assists, doubling the laughs on campus and at work.
From battles over research papers in the graduate lab to sabotaging one another during lessons in the hospital clinic, from humiliating parking-ticket incidents to the unspoken support they give each other in the face of difficult cases, this story is packed with medical mishaps and memorable arguments, with no angst and plenty of the subtle sweetness of “bickering is love, and sabotaging each other is just everyday life.” When a slick-tongued surgeon meets a sharp-tongued internal medicine ace, with a straightforward suitor and a hilarious circle of friends thrown in, this medical journey from campus to the workplace is bound to be full of unbeatable banter and heartwarming sweetness!
