On a stormy night, Qi Yu, an emergency room doctor, finds a young woman unconscious and unresponsive. Pale and beautiful, she's like a black lotus soaked by the rain, fragile yet dangerous.
She calls herself "Irene," a college student from out of town who was robbed and has nowhere to go. Qi Yu knows she's lying, but takes her in anyway.
--He thinks he's picked up a pitiful stray cat, but it turns out to be a wolf lying in wait.
Bai Wei, her real name, is indeed lying to him. She's no college student, but a former researcher at a biopharmaceutical company who's being hunted. She holds evidence that could ruin certain people beyond redemption. She had planned to use the softhearted doctor as a temporary refuge, but gradually discovers that--
He complains that she's a nuisance, yet quietly remembers all her likes and dislikes;
He has a serious aversion to dirt, yet lets her soil his sheets when she has a fever;
He seems cold and distant, yet doesn't hesitate to shield her when danger strikes...
When her pursuers finally show up, Qi Yu watches her deftly take down three burly men and finally sneers, "Ready to tell me the truth now?"
A seemingly sweet but secretly ruthless fugitive heroine x a sharp-tongued, softhearted family-man doctor
She lies through her teeth, and he knows it all along, but they both fall for each other.
--"Who are you, really?"
--"...Your problem."
A romance that begins with a lie and a life together, a love story of mutual salvation.
