Synopsis

Shen Xifan, the hotel room manager, suffers from insomnia due to the intense demands of her job. She meets the Chinese medicine doctor, He Suye, during one of her visits for treatment. Due to her busy work schedule, she often forgets to take her medicine, which frustrates He Suye. Initially, their relationship seems limited to doctor and patient, but they later discover they live in the same neighborhood.

Their repeated, chance encounters allow feelings to blossom between them. Shen Xifan, having been cautious due to a failed first love, slowly begins to open her heart to He Suye, whose kindness and unwavering dedication to his career inspire her to pursue her own dreams. As their hearts draw closer, they eventually become a couple.
