Lin Xiaoman, owner of the century-old "Hui Chun Tang" pharmacy, lives by the motto: "Genuine medicine heals the body; true heart heals the soul." Her life changes when Shen Mingyuan, a man in a suit, arrives with half a jade pendant—he claims his first love disappeared, leaving him tormented by the broken token of their promise, and begs for a "sorrow-forgetting herb." Moved by his devotion, Xiaoman brews the medicine, only to discover: Shen's "first love" is fake, the pendant was bought from a second-hand market, and he's here to steal Hui Chun Tang's ancient formulas! It turns out his sister died from fake medicine sold by Xiaoman's father's former apprentice—he wanted revenge with fake affection, but fell for Xiaoman, who guards genuine medicine with her life. When confronted, Shen pulls out the other half of the pendant, eyes red: "I lied, but my love for you is truer than your herbs." But Xiaoman weeps: "I have medicine for longing, but no cure for real love hidden in fake affection." Can their relationship, like decocting herbs, simmer from fake to real?
