[Reclusive, Gloomy Renowned Surgeon & Straightforward, Sunny Heart Patient]
[9-year age gap]
At the age of twenty-two, Tao Zhizi gave up on treatment, took all her savings, and moved into No. 7 Residence in the former French Concession. She spent each day enjoying life to the fullest, quietly waiting for death to come.
The owner of No. 7 Residence, Jiang Shuyue, rarely ventured out. He was odd-tempered, reclusive, and gloomy, a deeply mysterious "Mr. Jiang" in the eyes of everyone around him.
Tao Zhizi was always afraid of running into Jiang Shuyue, because she felt that nothing could be hidden from his dark eyes.
Later, she heard that he had once been the country's most renowned cardiac surgeon. Before turning thirty, he had five papers published in The Lancet, and his surgical cases had been included in university textbooks.
Yet this outstanding medical genius had abruptly left his post a few years earlier, leaving countless regrets in the research community.
His final heart surgery had failed, and he had developed PTSD, leaving him unable to pick up a scalpel again.
Tao Zhizi lived each day with abandon, vowing to sample every delicacy in the world before she died.
In the last days of her life, she would also teach Jiang Shuyue how to live optimistically. She might as well do a good deed every day.
Jiang Shuyue often asked her, "Don't you have any worries?"
Tao Zhizi smiled. "Worrying is a luxury I can't afford."
Then he noticed the do-not-resuscitate bracelet on her wrist and realized that she was terminally ill and had voluntarily refused emergency treatment...
Drawing on his clinical experience from years ago, Jiang Shuyue concluded:
"Your illness can still be treated."
Tao Zhizi replied indifferently, "I've lived for twenty-two years. That's enough. I should have died at birth."
Because of her congenital heart defect, her parents had cruelly abandoned her. After that, she was adopted and abandoned several times.
For Tao Zhizi, living was too exhausting, too expensive, too painful...
/
"I'll find you the best cardiac surgeon available. Don't worry about the money."
Jiang Shuyue shouldn't have gotten involved, but... her illness was the same as his mother's had been.
Saving her was an act of humanitarianism left over from his days as a doctor.
"The best doctor? Aren't you the best doctor?" Tao Zhizi shot back, her eyes shining.
"I refuse treatment unless you become a doctor again."
She thought she was setting a condition Jiang Shuyue could never meet.
That day, his gaze seemed to rise from the darkness and look up at the moonlight he had once known. His voice rang out with conviction.
"...All right. Then live until the day I return to the operating room."
/
One day, as Tao Zhizi felt death drawing near, she removed the do-not-resuscitate bracelet from her wrist with her own hands. Hope and the will to live rekindled in her eyes.
For the first time, she let go of all her defenses and despair, and looked at him pleadingly:
"Shuyue... I want to live... I don't want to die..."
After she suffered cardiogenic shock, he performed emergency treatment and pulled her back from the brink of death again and again.
Until... the day she was willing to undergo surgery.
She said, "No one taught me when I was little, so I could only act on instinct. I've been beaten many times and treated coldly. I don't know how to be kind to myself. Shuyue, could you teach me...?"
In a daze, Tao Zhizi felt that the best decision she had ever made was getting Jiang Shuyue to become a doctor again.
Because Jiang Shuyue finding his resolve again meant that countless patients longing for good health would be saved.
And Tao Zhizi, after drifting for twenty years, had finally found a place to call home.
[HE, SC, a sweet, healing romance, centered on saving each other.]
[The final surgery is not performed by the male lead on the female lead, and this novel does not involve operating on family members or romantic partners. By the time the leads meet, the male lead is no longer a doctor. The medical information comes from research. Any details that don't make sense can be adjusted.]

[Next novel] Reborn Before I Was Disfigured
Whenever Qiao Ye visited her mother, she often felt eyes watching her from the ward next door.
Cold and cloying, like a snake lying in wait, slowly sliding along her spine.
At the end of the psychiatric hospital corridor stood an iron door that had been locked for years. Behind it was a dangerous madman.
People said he was Lu Xianchen, eldest son of the Lu family.
He had once been a ruthless man who stopped at nothing, but after his father killed himself, he went mad overnight and lost his right to inherit. From then on, he sat in a wheelchair, raving and hidden from the world.
The Lu family's devil had become its lunatic.
How tragic!
Everyone said Lu Xianchen was a killer. Qiao Ye kept her distance until she read the silent pleas for help that he mouthed over and over.
In the end, Qiao Ye opened the door.
A cold hand shot out of the darkness and gripped her chin tightly.
The man sat in a wheelchair, his face pale, but his gaze frighteningly clear. He didn't look mad at all.
"Get me out of here, and I'll make sure you and your family want for nothing for the rest of your lives."
Risking her life, Qiao Ye helped him get a message out.
Satisfied, he pulled her in front of him. His knuckles slowly traced the scar on her face, as if inspecting a personal possession someone had damaged.
Qiao Ye's whole body stiffened. She was helpless and afraid.
After being disfigured, this was the first time anyone had looked at her without disgust or pity.
There was only a cold, obsessive scrutiny.
His emotionless, icy gaze fixed on her as he asked in a low voice, "Qiao Ye, how did you get this injury?"
"An accident when I was eighteen..."
"An accident?" he murmured elegantly, his voice cool and thin.
The next moment, he leaned closer.
A warm, damp kiss landed on her ugly scar.
Qiao Ye shuddered.
But Lu Xianchen held the back of her neck, his voice husky, almost unnaturally tender.
"They ruined you."
"It's all right."
"From now on, whoever touches you, I'll cut off their hand."
*
On a dark, seemingly endless night, Qiao Ye watched someone push Lu Xianchen off a rooftop. She hurried to call for help, but someone struck her with a club, killing her instantly.
When she woke, Qiao Ye had returned to the year she was eighteen, before she was disfigured.
That was the year Lu Xianchen, eldest son of the Lu family, returned from Switzerland after completing his studies, ready to take over the family business.
Qiao Ye came to Lu Xianchen and said, "Mr. Lu, keep a close eye on the people around you. Don't let yourself fall into danger again."
The man in the chair was refined and composed, noble and self-possessed, utterly unlike the one in the psychiatric hospital.
Later, Qiao Ye, who had been repeatedly pushed aside, was astonished to find that the people in her dance troupe treated her with the utmost respect and even gave her the best roles.
Everyone thought she had a powerful patron no one dared to offend.
And that person was Lu Xianchen.
The man sat in the shadows, leisurely clearing every obstacle in her path.
"Qiao Ye, in this life, you have someone to rely on."
*
Qiao Ye had once been the brightest rising star in ballet.
She made her stage debut at fourteen, astounding everyone with her performance. The media hailed her as a rare genius.
But when she was eighteen, a spotlight fell from the stage during an awards ceremony. She suffered burns all over her body, her face was ruined, and she lost her chance to perform on the international stage.
Everyone said she was finished.
Only Qiao Ye knew she couldn't lose.
Her mother was the true genius, but lost both legs in a car accident. Qiao Ye would walk the path her mother had never been able to finish.
In her previous life, she carried the scars covering her body and was ten years too late before winning the world's top prize in Saint Petersburg. But she died after achieving that glory.
In this life, she would prevent every tragedy and never let anyone trample on her again.
The stage, the glory, the truth: she would take it all back.
*
HE, SC, 1v1, saving each other.
The male lead is a dark, obsessive madman, not a perfect character.
Both leads are reborn, and there was a conspiracy behind their deaths in their previous lives.

Theme: A doctor's benevolent heart
Ending Spreading Flowers Thank you for telling us the story of Gardenia and Shuyue~ Gardenia is really brave and strong, Shuyue is also a very gentle person, he is Gardenia's backing, no matter what happens, he has his back, and in some passages I was healed by his every move. The writing style is really great, really powerful. From the description of things, the quoted sentences, to the grasp of the rhythm of the story, to the sublimation of the theme, you can see the author's intention and profound knowledge. Originally, Wen Huang randomly found a book to read in the bookstore, but he didn't expect to finish reading it in one sitting. At first, I was attracted by the lively, unrestrained and intelligent side of Gardenia, and then I was touched by the daily life of Gardenia and Shuyue. The plain happiness is really moving, so warm and desirable. Later, I was shocked by everything that Gardenia was carrying, and I couldn't imagine how she had made it all the way. When I saw it, I occasionally felt that Shuyue would definitely need help at the critical moment, but I immediately overturned this idea, because with Gardenia's perseverance and intelligence, she would definitely be able to do what she wanted to do, and Shuyue's help was to relieve her of some pain (a personal opinion). When the truth was revealed at the end, I really had goosebumps. It was so interconnected that I had to admire how the story was laid out just right and the ending was very complete. I felt very comfortable after reading it. I just wanted to read about sweet love, but the author's writing style was very smooth and delicate, so that I started to appreciate the writing style~
This article showed me how profound my literary attainments are. The delicate emotions of the characters depicted in the writing really made me feel immersed in it. A good story is like a jar of aged wine. Every time you taste it carefully, you will have a different new experience. It has been a long time since I have read a novel that respects the character setting in both writing and storyline. There is no contrivance or flattery. It is very gripping and worth reading again. [Pink heart]
It took me six hours to read it in one sitting. The writing style is so delicate that when describing Chen Youwei, I felt that I could write a criminal investigation article. The love between Gardenia and Shuyue is a matter of course, and it really makes people believe that they are each other's only soul mates. I hope to publish it and would like to have a physical book collection.
The word "suffering comes after suffering" is an extremely happy word
A very beautiful novel
After reading it, I thought it was a "pure" romance at first, but I was frightened for a while, and finally moved. I still like my wife's writing as always.
I'm so touched, wow wow, finally there is a book that makes me willing to register in Jinjiang. I'm really looking forward to the physical book. Will there be a physical book 🥺
A very touching story, the author's writing style is so good
Wuwuwu, no matter how many times I watch this kind of happy moment, I will still feel so touched 😭 😭 Seven months Goodbye, Gardenia Shuyue This is an article I will re-read countless times. I want to cry so much ww The ending is full of flowers!! (Still reluctant to part with it)
This is a story worth reading twice or three times. I wish them happiness~ Can there be some bonus stories? I really want to see life after marriage.
