Soul Keeper

A refined, handsome, food-loving, sharp-tongued doctor bottom x a down-to-earth, cooking-loving, doting CEO top Bai Yuqing got into an argument with the hotel chef over boiled cabbage in clear broth. He was just about to ask the hotel owner to settle the dispute when the chef took off his apron and transformed into a CEO who stood six feet tall and radiated an imposing presence. “Go on, say whatever you want. I’m listening.” “...” Bai Yuqing gave him a cool look. His yin-yang eyes could see that something was wrong with the man’s soul. He’d come begging for help sooner or later. Cheng Su, a handsome, wealthy, and remarkably down-to-earth CEO, was plagued by a troubled mind. He invited Bai Yuqing, a renowned psychologist, to see him again and again, only to be rejected every time. Bai Yuqing was eccentric and had a rule of “three kinds of patients he treats and three kinds he doesn’t.” Cheng Su met the requirements, so he couldn’t understand why he was turned away, until he happened to see Doctor Bai’s true face and finally understood. Cheng Su: “Doctor Bai is compassionate, a reborn Bian Que, a healer who helps the world, a paragon of benevolence and skill...” Bai Yuqing: “I hold a grudge.” Cheng Su: “Doctor Bai is as handsome as a jade tree, dignified, refined, and unrivaled in bearing...” Bai Yuqing: “I hold a grudge.” Cheng Su: “Lobster in rich broth, crab-meat lion’s head meatballs, sweet-and-sour pork with pineapple, glutinous-rice-stuffed duck... Just name it, and I can cook it.” Bai Yuqing: “Come here. The clock’s ticking.” To win Doctor Bai over, Cheng opened a private restaurant near the clinic. Bai Yuqing not only ate there for free himself, but also brought his patients along. One story, one meal: together they sampled the bitter tears of the world and tended to countless gloomy souls. After being at Doctor Bai’s beck and call for so long, Cheng’s old heart problem was cured, only for a new one to take its place: how could he turn the sharp-tongued, grudge-holding, food-loving little doctor into his wife? After being rejected over and over, Cheng Su was utterly despairing. He protested, “Bai Yuqing, you have no heart.” Bai Yuqing’s expression was calm, but sorrow filled his eyes. “I don’t just have no heart. I have no soul either.” A soul keeper tends to the dark things other people shun. When will he finally have a heart and soul of his own? Theme: Behind every story is a soul in need of care
