Cloud-Sailed to the Evening Court

Xia Yunfan spent her twenties fighting for life and death in the emergency department.

Undergraduate degree, standardized residency training, limited academic credentials, back-to-back night shifts. She had seen the most heartbreaking farewells life could offer and endured exhaustion no one knew about.

Everyone said she worked too hard and was too ordinary. At the provincial hospital, crowded with master’s degree holders, she was like an inconspicuous speck of dust.

Only Lu Ting saw all her hardship and felt for her deeply.

He was a carefree young man who loved his freedom and was absorbed in research.

Others thought he was young, playful, and unreliable.

No one knew that

to be worthy of her in her white coat,

he gave up gaming and buried himself in his studies.

He fought his way through a sea of competitors, quietly took the civil service exam, and earned a place against the odds.

The world called him easygoing and unruly.

Only he knew the truth:

all his composure, hard work, and determination

were for one person alone: Xia Yunfan.

She guards lives in this world,

and he guards every year they share.
