This is an intensely sweet romance about pain and healing. Bai Feng suffers from a rare condition called “reverse tactile sensitivity,” which makes every touch excruciating. Lu Chen, meanwhile, has “tactile synesthesia” and is overwhelmed by other people’s emotional memories. When they accidentally touch on the first day of school, her pain miraculously vanishes, and his world falls silent for the first time.
It begins with a “medical symbiosis contract.” As the two are forced together, they gradually discover that each is the only exception in the other’s life. He takes on the whole world for her, and she lets down every last defense for him. Amid conspiracies and crises, a relationship that began as “treatment” becomes a life-or-death bond: there can be no one but you.
When everyone wants to separate them, they clasp hands tightly. “We either live together or die together.” This is not a story about healing, but a mutual redemption: your heartbeat is the only sedative I need, and my touch is the painkiller meant just for you. From school uniforms to wedding gowns, from pain to deep love, their contract has only one clause: in this life, the next, and for all eternity, we will be each other’s medicine.
