Heart Against Heart

He is the hospital’s most brilliant young doctor: highly skilled, sunny, and handsome. Everyone thinks he is carefree, flirtatious, and heartless. Only he knows that the moment he met Wen Ning, he gave her his truest love and contracted the most painful illness. Love at first sight made him draw close to her without hesitation. When he learned she already had a boyfriend, he quietly kept his distance and buried his deep feelings in silence. A severe stomach condition tormented him day and night. He endured stabbing pain with a forced smile, endured agony as he stepped into the operating room, and endured the heartbreak of being misunderstood, blamed, and pushed away by her. Every hurt, every hardship, every humiliating moment, he bore alone, never letting her see. She had once been blinded by love, trapped beside the wrong man and misled by rumors, and she hurt him more deeply than anyone. Only when all his sacrifices came to light did she finally understand: the man who always said, “I’m fine,” had long been burned and scarred all over by her. They had suffered, missed their chance, misunderstood each other, and fallen apart. She could choose not to forgive, yet still begin again; she could refuse to let go, yet choose to stay by his side. He showed all his vulnerability to her alone. She gave him all the trust she had for the rest of her life.
