Ouyang Yisheng was born into a family of medical professionals. Everyone in her family was top of the class, while she had been a struggling student since primary school. Her family outsmarted her every day, and even though she tried her hardest, she couldn't get into medical school. Instead, she studied art appraisal, a field with nothing to do with medicine.
After graduating and entering the workforce, she moved into a newly rented apartment, only to discover that her landlord was Ming Chaowen, her ex-boyfriend from an online romance in a game. They had met in person and broken up almost instantly. Dreading the thought of wasting her rent, she gritted her teeth and stayed. The next day at work, she discovered that Ming Chaowen was also her boss's doctor and secret crush. To make matters worse, her boss's family had many dealings with the Ming family, so as her boss's assistant, she couldn't avoid interacting with Ming Chaowen while handling her daily affairs.
To keep her job, Yisheng had to hide the fact that she was "living together" with Ming Chaowen. She treated him like a client and did everything she could to invite him to the gatherings her boss organized. At the same time, she worried every day about Ming Chaowen's occasional confessions and feared her boss would discover his true feelings. Her days were a total madhouse, and the stress was making her hair fall out.
