In her previous life, Ruan Qingqiu was a surgeon at a top-tier hospital. Then she transmigrated and became a hapless educated youth in the 1980s, schemed against by her stepmother and sent to the countryside in her sister’s place.
To survive among her awful relatives, she agreed to fulfill the dying wish of a gravely ill old woman and marry Su Yanbei, a soldier stationed a thousand miles away whom she had never met, by signing a marriage certificate.
For two years after the wedding, he sent money but never showed up. Ruan Qingqiu enjoyed the peace and quiet, establishing herself at the commune clinic with her superb medical skills. Once she had saved enough, she planned to head south and get a divorce.
Then an explosion rocked Hongxing Machinery Plant, and the new factory director was carried into her examination room...
His thigh was a bloody mess, but the man didn’t make a sound. Ruan Qingqiu calmly cut open his oil-stained military trousers. “The wound goes down to the bone. Bear with it.”
Su Yanbei grabbed her wrist, his pupils quaking. Could this unflinching doctor, whose hands were so precise and ruthless, really be the wife he had never met?
At first, Su Yanbei kept a stern face. “We’ll share a home, but live our own lives.”
Later, on a snowy night, he forcibly wrapped Ruan Qingqiu, who had stayed up studying medical books, in his military coat. Gritting his teeth, he stared at the photo of a man that had slipped out of an old book. “Ruan Qingqiu, I’ve given you my life and my pay. Just try looking at another man again.”
Ruan Qingqiu: “...That’s an anatomy illustration.”
A marriage that turns into love, with affection growing over time. Watch the cool-headed doctor bring a tough, battle-hardened man completely to heel.
