Pei Shi'an, the head of the Pei family, is infamous for being ruthless and coldhearted. Yet at their first meeting, he puts on the air of a refined gentleman.
Xie Zhiyun, the only female heir to the century-old Xie family of traditional Chinese medicine, has nothing on her mind but treating the sick and saving lives. On the day of their blind date, she gets straight to the point: "I'm very busy. Can we get married today?"
Fifteen minutes later, after exchanging their information and registering their marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau, they became the biggest joke in the Beijing social circle that year.
Everyone bet the marriage wouldn't last three months.
Three months later, at the annual Pei Group gala, Xie Zhiyun receives an emergency call and gets up to leave, sending the whole room into an uproar.
Pei Shi'an, who always holds himself above everyone else and only gives his grandfather the time of day when he feels like it, picks up his coat and follows her in full view of the crowd. "My darling, I'll drive you."
Later, when Xie Zhiyun is developing a new medicine and is missing one ingredient, a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, Pei Shi'an mobilizes three private jets overnight, searching from Changbai Mountain to Yunnan to Tibet, just to dig up a living plant for her.
The whole Beijing social circle is stunned. Wasn't this supposed to be a marriage of convenience? Weren't they supposed to do their own thing?
Leaning against the door of the consulting room, Pei Shi'an watches the woman in white carefully prepare medicine and smiles nonchalantly. "Who was it that said men were no better than medicinal herbs?"
Well, later he planted himself in her heart and became the most precious herb of all.
In a nutshell: I thought I married a medical fanatic, but it turns out she's a walking Bodhisattva. She saves all living beings, and I save her.
