Xu Wu married Song Tingxi, Haicheng’s top cardiac surgery prodigy, for his family’s money and influence, hoping to clear her father’s name. Song Tingxi, on the other hand, wanted her. Their married life was as cold as ice, until an anonymous paper sent the whole hospital into an uproar, taking aim at Song Tingxi’s “Song technique.” Everyone thought he would fly into a rage, but at an academic conference he announced publicly, “It’s very well written. I’d like to meet the author.” That night, he cornered Xu Wu in the study, holding a printout of the paper, his eyes burning with intensity. “Mrs. Song, how much longer are you going to hide your secret identity? Or should I help you by playing the footage of that surgery from back then?” His words plunged Xu Wu into an icy abyss. So he had known everything all along. From beginning to end, their marriage had been a gentle trap he had set for her.
