Eight years ago, a life-or-death emergency brought a family of renowned physicians and a powerful, prominent family together in gratitude, and led to an unwanted marriage agreement.
Eight years later, he is a cool and dignified business legend who wields great power, while she is a sheltered medical prodigy with a compassionate heart.
Sent by his parents to fulfill their promise, he comes to her. Hearing that an “old man” is coming to her door, she wants nothing to do with him.
To break the deadlock, he proposes a compromise: “We don’t have to discuss the marriage agreement yet. We can just date. If you’re uncomfortable, I’ll end it myself.”
And so begins a gentle courtship under the pretext of “trying out a relationship.” They start off politely distant, but soon find themselves showing concern and falling for each other. Between operating rooms where life and death hang in the balance and the cutthroat world of business, two very different souls gradually draw close and light each other’s way.
It turns out the most delicate operation is mending the old wound in his heart, and the most successful investment is staking everything on her lifelong devotion. Once the veneer of gratitude falls away, what lies beneath is a love that has taken root and grown so deeply that neither can do without the other.
