Love Came Out of Nowhere

Fu Ying has lived nearly thirty years, and been single for almost all of them. Even though she majored in civil engineering in college, where the ratio of men to women in her department was 35 to 1, the department's campus beauty Fu Ying still remained alone, a perfect example of someone who had never dated.

Her explanation was:

First, I just haven't felt a spark with anyone around me.

Second, my family won't let me date while I'm in college.

Everyone scoffed at her explanation, thinking Fu Ying was probably just making up such a lame excuse because she wanted to land a rich, handsome man. Only Fu Ying knew she was telling the truth.

Perhaps even Heaven couldn't stand her self-sabotaging single life and decided to give her a hand. Its chosen method was... a car accident.

When Fu Ying wakes from her coma, the first person she sees feels strangely familiar, as if she had met him in a past life. For the first time, she also experiences what it feels like to fall for someone.

Dr. Hong has performed countless surgeries. No matter how bloody the scene, he can keep a straight face and fulfill his duty as a doctor by operating on the injured.

Until one day, a young woman who has been in a car accident lies on his operating table, and he can't stop himself from shedding tears of heartache. His colleagues are utterly astonished.

The incident becomes a running joke at his hospital. Everyone says Dr. Hong was so frightened while operating on a patient that he cried. But even more surprising to his colleagues is that the irresistibly charming Dr. Hong, who has always believed in "never dating your patients," starts pursuing his own patient.

His explanation is: "I met Miss Fu in a past life. In this life, we're just picking up where we left off."

Everyone shakes their heads at his explanation. They never expected Dr. Hong to say such cheesy things. Only he knows he is telling the truth. The first time he saw Fu Ying, he felt as though they had met before.

Bonus scene

Fu Ying: The constraints of my family ties have held me back for so long. They keep me from existing in this world as my own person.

Dr. Hong: It's all right. I'm a doctor, so I can treat your wounds, even if they're in your heart.

[Reading guide and warnings]

1. Please check the tags before reading.

2. One-on-one romance. Readers who prefer both leads to be sexually inexperienced can dive in.

3. This is the modern-day story following Transmigrated into the White Moonlight Empress. New readers don't need to worry about getting lost. Apart from the leads falling in love at first sight, the plot is mostly unrelated to the previous story.

4. You can imagine the leads as their previous-story counterparts, but don't map the other supporting characters onto historical figures from the previous story.

5. The romance is perfect, but the family relationships aren't. The female lead's parents aren't especially outrageous. They simply belittle and criticize their children, never praise them no matter how well they do, and force them to live according to their wishes even after they've grown up. The author isn't deliberately painting family ties in a bad light. There really are a lot of parents like this around the author.

6. The characters' opinions and values serve the plot and do not represent the author's own.

Theme: Family isn't always noble, and love isn't always false. It all depends on the people you meet.
