Applying for a Traditional Chinese Medicine Job on a Dating Site

[A carefree, lazy, management-averse genius TCM doctor x a stern, controlling surgeon with a daddy vibe]

After graduating, Zhu Yu took a three-year gap before returning home, only to be pressured into marriage.

He browsed a matchmaking post and asked: Is this man marriage material?

The man's qualifications: Su Wucen, a surgeon at a top-tier hospital, from a family of doctors for generations, with a traditional Chinese medicine clinic at home.

Zhu Yu raised an eyebrow. Wasn't this the surgeon who'd been the most intensely competitive student in his year at medical school?

Whenever Zhu Yu came up, his teachers would sigh and slap their thighs: "Talented, but far too free and easy."

Whenever Su Wucen came up, they would give him a thumbs-up: "Talented, meticulous, and hardworking. A real promising young doctor."

On a whim, Zhu Yu added him on WeChat and sent over his resume:

[Is your family clinic hiring a doctor? I've completed eight years of TCM training and residency, and I have both required licenses.]

Zhu Yu pressed his hands together: They may have been in different departments, but they were still alumni. Could he give him a job?

Who would have thought the other man would reply:

"We don't need a doctor."

"We need someone to marry."

To avoid working at a hospital and being pressured by his family to marry again, Zhu Yu's conscience hurt for exactly one second before he gritted his teeth and agreed to Su Wucen's contract marriage proposal. He also successfully landed a job at Mingxitang Clinic.

He'd solved two of the biggest problems facing young people in one go, and could finally enjoy some peace and quiet. Zhu Yu thought it proved he really was a genius.

He was about to settle into a carefree, do-nothing life at a TCM clinic!

When colleagues in City A's medical community learned that the two TCM and Western medicine prodigies from A Medical University had married, they were stunned.

What kind of newfangled integration of Chinese and Western medicine was this?

As it turned out, even two geniuses couldn't save this useless hybrid specialty.

Married life was a chaotic mess, and their days together became a constant battle.

Zhu Yu pointed the finger at Su Wucen as the culprit!

Who knew a man with such a handsome face could be so fussy, obsessed with cleanliness, and controlling?!

He had to control whether Zhu Yu made the bed, ate snacks, drank iced soda, and put his shoes away properly. Had he married a father?

He even tried to control how Zhu Yu diagnosed patients and wrote prescriptions! Was he a TCM doctor or not?

Zhu Yu felt utterly hopeless: I can't live like this.

Just then, he overheard someone casually spilling some gossip: "Wait, hasn't Dr. Su been keeping himself pure all these years because he was waiting for his old flame?"

Zhu Yu: There was a story like that?! Then let's get divorced! I'm out!

It wasn't until he saw the photo tucked inside Su Wucen's surgical notes that Zhu Yu grabbed the collar of Su Wucen's white coat. "You call this a secret crush, Daddy?"

"Don't call me that here."
