The Fish in the Pond Longs for Its Old Abyss

[Groveling redemption, melodrama]

Cool and aloof x unruly

1.

When they met again, Shen Chiyu stumbled helplessly into his arms.

Just like back then, when they parted in disgrace.

Her thoughts were a tangled mess, and she could barely get the words out.

He was calm and unruffled, even the smile at the corner of his mouth faintly cold.

Shen Chiyu thought that when they met again, they would surely have a huge fight and battle it out to the death.

But the man stood there, casual and languid, smelling of mint and lemon. He looked at her like a stranger, his eyes full of mockery. "Miss Shen, do you get drunk just from smelling alcohol?"

2.

When they were young, the boy left without a backward glance, refusing even to leave her a parting view. He left her alone in the abyss, where she stayed for four years.

That day, he looked at her and said coolly, "I hate you."

"I know."

"What do you know?" He wasn't going to let her off the hook.

"Gu Yuan hates Shen Chiyu."

The person she'd loved for ten years was now the person who hated her most.

At eighteen, Shen Chiyu became the person Gu Yuan hated most.

3.

Shen Chiyu, a genius medical student at A University, is everyone's unattainable dream girl.

Gu Yuan, heir to the Gu family, made waves in the medical world as soon as he returned to the country. Countless people harbored ulterior motives, hoping to get close to him and win his heart.

One day, these two seemingly unconnected people appeared at the same auction.

At this glittering, cutthroat arena of wealth and fame, the cool beauty lowered her head and drank milk, completely out of place. At her feet, the usually unruly and arrogant Young Master Gu took a handkerchief from his pocket and gently tied it around her ankle.

"Don't wear high heels next time. They've rubbed your skin red."

Later, the little rose he'd planted with his own hands bristled with thorns, piercing his palm until it bled. She turned away without a second thought, unmoved by his pleas.

To win back his rose, the once-superior darling of heaven walked her road of wounds in utter disarray, feeling the same pain, step by step, until he stood before her again.

"Shen Chiyu, look at me. Please."

[Scene]

At A University's medical forum, a young and distinguished man stood beneath the flashing lights, speaking confidently amid round after round of applause.

"Saving lives is a doctor's guiding principle. The road ahead is uncertain, and setbacks along the way are inevitable..."

Then he changed tack.

"Lastly, I have one thing to say to everyone here: doctors can't heal themselves, but someone will always become the medicine your life needs. She doesn't have to do anything. Just standing there is enough for you to come through unscathed. I hope you all find the medicine you need."

Amid the fervent cheers and thunderous applause, his eyes were fixed on the one who was his medicine.
