Su Yan is a pathology intern, calm to the point of seeming cold. She’s better at diagnosing illnesses than reading people, and a scalpel is more persuasive than sweet talk.
Gu Chenzhou, CEO of the Gu Group, is a cold-blooded tycoon who can turn the tide of the business world with a flick of his hand. Yet for years, he has been plagued by a strange illness with no evidence to explain it. He has consulted countless renowned doctors, all to no avail. Then the hospital director forcibly sends him to Su Yan
At their first consultation, she sees right through his somatic symptom disorder. When he has an episode, she jumps straight into emergency treatment, her commanding presence so overwhelming that he can’t even keep up his “CEO act.”
At their second meeting, he offers her a contract. “Marry me, and I’ll get you the department’s most coveted training position and research funding.”
She glances up at him. “President Gu, get your heart rate under control before we discuss terms.”
From then on, President Gu is the revered Chairman Gu to everyone else, but at home, he’s a “patient reserved exclusively for Dr. Su,” completely under her thumb:
When he has an episode after being plied with drinks at a business dinner, she rushes in carrying an IV bag and snaps, “Would one less drink kill you?” He obediently sits still and lets her give him a shot.
When a rival tries to frame her with a medical malpractice case, she faces them head-on with pathology slides and surveillance footage, turning the tables and ruining their reputation.
As for him, he uses the resources of his entire group to pave the way for her, watching her grow from an intern into a leading pathology expert, his eyes full of undisguised indulgence. “You’re the only one who can cure me.”
When their contract expires, he grabs her white lab coat, eyes red. “Su Yan, I’m still sick. You can’t leave.”
She traces his pulse with her fingertip and smiles faintly. “President Gu, this time I’m treating your heart.”
