Not That TCM Isn’t Good, But ER Is More Cost-Effective

share time: 2026-03-01 00:38:06

Su Wan, the “heiress curator” of her grandfather’s TCM clinic, is forced to engage with Gu Mingyuan, a TCM heir from a prestigious family—he has a gilded lineage, walls of certificates, and is everyone’s “most cost-effective” partner. Until she crashes into Lu Jingshen in the ER: this ER attending, with coffee stains on his lab coat, is so busy he can’t even drink warm porridge, and even stands her up at her engagement party to save a patient. Everyone laughs at her for “choosing someone with no cost-effectiveness.” But when the clinic’s secret formula is stolen and her grandfather suffers a heart attack, Lu Jingshen saves her grandfather with his ER “speed and accuracy” and retrieves the formula using a lost acupuncture technique—turns out he’s her grandfather’s proudest disciple, who hid his identity in the ER for five years to fulfill his grandfather’s wish of “bringing TCM to emergency care.” When he pulls out her grandfather’s handwritten “successor” letter, Su Wan realizes: cost-effectiveness isn’t about others’ “perfection,” but about him giving his whole heart to guard what matters most to you.
