Revenge Romance: Struck by Love

What if the key to your future lies buried in the secrets of your past? Wen Changling, a reserved palliative care nurse, seeks solace in the quiet anonymity of her life. Working odd hours at Dihong Hospital and living in a modest apartment on Lotus Pond Street, she prefers the company of her own thoughts to the bustle of the capital city. Her days are predictable, her interactions minimal, save for the occasional kindness from Sister Tao, the local fruit shop owner. But the tranquility of her existence is subtly disrupted by the arrival of the Ruyi Pawnshop across the street. The shop stands eerily silent, its wealthy owner conspicuously absent. Drawn by an inexplicable curiosity, Wen finds herself observing the mysterious establishment, its aura of secrecy seeping into her consciousness. Even the toxic Broken Heart Grass she plants in her backyard seems to reach towards it, a creeping tendril of fate connecting her to the unknown. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Wen is assigned to care for Mr. Gu, a celebrated literary scholar battling terminal illness. Stepping into the Gu family's opulent estate, she's immediately aware of the rigid structure and unspoken tensions within its walls. Little does she know that this new patient is the first domino to fall, setting in motion a chain of events that will shatter her carefully constructed peace. Could there be a connection between her new patient, the silent pawnshop, and her own hidden history? What secrets lie dormant, waiting to be awakened? Will Wen uncover the truth before it consumes her?
