A Prescription for Love

Lin Suwen is an attending gynecologist at a top-tier hospital, specializing in difficult cases. She believes only in data, not love. To her, love is a temporary surge of dopamine, while marriage is the world's most incurable disease.

Lu Zhixing is a divorce lawyer specializing in marital and family law. He believes only in risk, not promises. To him, love is a risky investment made without considering the consequences, while marriage is an unaudited corporate restructuring.

Two people who've seen enough marital disasters in their respective professions meet. They share the same thought: “Wouldn't it be great if people sorted all this out before getting married?”

They hit it off and launch a livestream called “Diagnosing the Perfect Match.”

The slogan is posted in the most prominent spot by the door: “We use medicine to strip away the body's lies and the law to calculate the cost of financial schemes. We're here to disinfect marriage. Pleased to meet you.”

Until one day.

There are no guests before the camera, which is livestreaming to the entire internet. There is only her in a white coat and him in a crisp suit.

Lu Zhixing holds up a special prenuptial property agreement. It contains just one handwritten line: “All Party A's tangible and intangible assets, including the rest of his life, shall be jointly owned with Party B, Lin Suwen. This agreement has no end date and no exit clause. The sole penalty for breach: Party B must die before Party A.”

Lin Suwen holds up her premarital medical examination report. The final section is in her own handwriting: “Diagnosis complete. Patient Lin Suwen, female, 29. In good health. However, she has one lifelong chronic condition that cannot be cured: for the rest of her life, she will be unable to leave Lu Zhixing.”

In full view of the entire internet, he gets down on one knee.

The comments flood the screen, drowning out everything.
