Falsely Wicked

[Complete] The new story next door, Among the Flourishing Branches, is now underway. Visit the author's page to read it.

Blurb: These days, doctor-patient relations are tense, and incidents of patients' families causing trouble at hospitals are becoming more common. People joke that doctors nowadays need a lawyer on retainer to stay safe.

That joke brought Xia Jundai, the medical school's campus heartthrob, and Nan Xu, the law school's campus belle, together.

The campus heartthrob's legion of female fans were thrilled. Their idol finally had a permanent legal advisor!

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last. Just before graduation in their senior year, the campus belle dumped the campus heartthrob.

Everyone sighed over the breakup.

Five years later, the former campus heartthrob and campus belle crossed paths again.

Xia Jundai was the youngest director in the history of Huairen Hospital: handsome, wealthy, cool and distinguished, and the object of countless women's affection.

Nan Xu, meanwhile, had become the founder of Shuangnan Law Firm: an heiress, a brilliant lawyer, and the object of countless admirers.

They were evenly matched, and when old enemies met, sparks flew.

Onlookers made their prediction: "Who can take on a lawyer these days? Especially an ex-girlfriend. These two are definitely never getting back together!"

But not long afterward, at a staff meeting, Xia Jundai appeared holding Nan Xu's hand and grinned triumphantly at everyone. "I came through in the end. I've got my permanent legal advisor back."

Onlookers: "..."

Key points:

1. Beautiful lawyer vs. the top dog among hospital directors (an ophthalmologist)

2. Daily updates at 8 p.m.

Coming next: Among the Flourishing Branches, a med student vs. an old-school Chinese medicine doctor.

Blurb: On the last night before the third-year graduate students left school, the whole class went out for dinner.

Chu Xian downed a whole bottle of strong liquor, then, emboldened by the alcohol, confessed to Fu Zhishi. "Senior, I'm so in love with you I could die. I won't marry anyone but you in this life."

The young man smiled. "You've been drinking. Get some rest, and stop talking nonsense."

Chu Xian's confession failed, and she left school dejectedly.

Six months later, Fu Zhishi went on a business trip to a neighboring city and ran into Chu Xian on the high-speed train. They were seated next to each other.

He recognized her at once. "Chu Xian?"

The young woman looked up at him, then studied him with a puzzled expression. "Who are you?"

Fu Zhishi: "..."

What happened to being so in love with him she could die, and refusing to marry anyone else in this life?

Hah. A woman's words are made to deceive!

Theme: A doctor's heart is full of compassion.
