In a Steady Pulse

Medical student Xu Nian was forced to work at a club to cover her grandmother's medical expenses, where she faced humiliation. At her most desperate moment, she met Gu Chi, the city's top cardiac surgeon. Haunted by past surgical failures, Gu Chi had developed a psychological block—until Xu Nian's presence helped him regain the steadiness to operate again. What began as a transactional relationship gradually deepened into genuine affection as they supported each other through their struggles.

However, their bond was tested repeatedly: Xu Nian faced persistent interference from a senior classmate, while Gu Chi’s ex-girlfriend, Zhao Meimei, maliciously intervened—even spreading lies about having a child with him. The final blow came when Xu Nian’s grandmother passed away, leaving her heartbroken and prompting her to leave Gu Chi. Yet Gu Chi never gave up. After overcoming numerous hardships and enduring separation, the two finally reconciled, recognizing each other as destined soulmates.
