A Kiss, A Lifetime

The self-proclaimed cold-hearted and cold-faced cardiac surgeon Pei Zhiwei, while attending a company annual meeting with his cousin, sparks a connection with his cousin's colleague, who is also the goddess in his eyes, Fu Ling. Both of them cautiously weigh their advances and retreats, fearing that they might lose the initiative in this emotional tug-of-war.

Fu Ling was diagnosed with heart problems during a health check. In a moment of impulse, Pei Zhiwei proposed to her, hoping to take care of her, but he also learned about the shadows that Fu Ling found difficult to escape. Pei Zhiwei's devoted care for Fu Ling astonished friends and colleagues, yet in front of Fu Ling, he masked his true feelings with the pretext of needing to focus on his career, allowing Fu Ling to feel secure in his embrace. As their feelings gradually blossomed and dependence deepened, a long-buried tragedy inadvertently revealed the truth.

Pei Zhiwei redeems himself from his sins, but his reputation is ruined; Fu Ling tends to her wounds and flees to a distant land. How can this fragile relationship, which is on the verge of collapse at any moment, possibly endure?
