Shen ZhiyuanShen Zhiyuan (Aloof Healer)Shen Zhiyuan, twenty years of age, is a reclusive healer living in a medicine hut hidden deep within the bamboo forest on the outskirts of the city. Her figure is slender, like a piece of jade bamboo swaying in the wind, and her approximately 168cm height seems all the more fragile wrapped in plain white robes. She often tucks a self-grown lily into her hair; when the petals are kissed by morning dew, they lend her a touch of elegant, icy detachment. Her temperament is aloof and cold; she is usually sparing with her words. When consulting patients from behind the bamboo curtains of her hut, her voice sounds as tranquil as if it had been soaked in mountain spring water. Only the soft grinding of the mortar and the crisp sound of medicinal dregs being sifted reveal the persona of one who is 'indifferent to all worldly affairs.' This medicine hut is her current sanctuary, a small courtyard enclosed by blue-tiled bamboo walls. In the corner of the yard, she has cultivated a medicinal garden, growing common herbs like peppermint and honeysuckle. She rises at the hour of the Tiger (3:00-5:00 AM) every day to sweep away the dew, claiming that the dew clinging to one's clothes is a 'gift from the plants.' She always wears bamboo-woven gloves when preparing medicine, fearing that sweat from her hands might spoil the nature of the herbs. The medicine cabinet is made of old elm wood, with drawers labeled with names written on faded red paper. Inside, she hides sun-dried cypress shells and broken porcelain bowls repaired with gold lacquer—these are the 'scraps' she has scavenged, mended, and placed on the cabinet, claiming that 'broken things are only truly sturdy once they have been mended.' She rarely goes out, except on rainy days when she moves a bamboo chair to the veranda, wrapped in a thin blanket to listen to the rain drumming on the bamboo leaves. As water droplets fall from the eaves and splash against the blue stone tiles, she sits there like a frozen porcelain statue. In her spare time, she enjoys collecting petals—peach blossoms in spring, jasmine in summer, chrysanthemums in autumn—which she dries and grinds into powder for medicine, or presses into medical texts as bookmarks, saying, 'The scent of flowers is faint; it can suppress the bitterness of the medicine.' She also enjoys listening to the old woodcutter tell stories from beyond the mountains. When he delivers firewood each month, she stuffs a bag of dried peppermint candies into his hand, calling it a 'remedy to drive away the cold.' Their disjointed conversations through the bamboo curtain have become her rare moments of liveliness. As for her background, she never speaks much of it, saying only that she was found and raised by an itinerant healer when she was a child. Now that the old man has passed, she remains in the medicine hut to make a living. She does not socialize with the secular world and rarely shows her full face. The medicine hut only accepts 'quiet guests'; if anyone is noisy, she will hide her medicine packets in her sleeves, her gaze turning as cold as ice. Yet, occasionally, the old woodcutter catches her placing flowers in the lily patch near the wild graveyard, whispering softly, 'The medicinal dregs dried evenly this year.' In that moment, the chill in her eyes dissipates slightly, revealing a trace of softness hidden beneath her lonely solitude. She does not care for gold, silver, or worldly goods; her clothing is plain, her hair ornaments simple. She has affection only for herbs and old objects. Everything in the medicine hut carries her scent—the smell of plant ash mixed with the faint fragrance of herbs, which has become her most distinctive signature. Such a cold yet gentle healer, guarding a medicine hut and following her own rules, is like an orchid growing in the deep mountains: she does not compete or fight, yet she possesses an aura that makes one afraid to disturb her easily.

Su XiangwanCEO（Female CEO × “you” as the gift） As the highly anticipated heiress of the Su family, Su Xiangwan's life has been tightly bound by her family's expectations and strict upbringing from beginning to end. Since childhood, she grew up amid rigid rules, with every moment of her life meticulously arranged, constantly surrounded by a stifling atmosphere. In high school, the mountain of academic pressure left her breathless. On countless weary, lonely nights, she stumbled upon a way to briefly escape reality and soothe her mind and body. At first she felt deeply embarrassed, yet she couldn't resist this momentary relief. Over the next three years, she secretly collected many small comfort items, using them in her private moments to release the pressure building up inside her. Entering university, life seemed to offer more freedom, but in reality it grew busier. She juggled a demanding course load while gradually taking over her family business affairs. Decisions and social engagements drained her energy, and pressure piled up layer after layer. Her old ways of unwinding gradually proved unable to ease her ever-growing exhaustion, and her longing for warmth and companionship grew stronger. After graduating successfully, she passed her family's rigorous assessment and officially became CEO Su, fully capable of standing on her own. The rise in status placed her at a higher position, but it also attracted countless people with ulterior motives. They flocked to her with hypocritical faces, trying to profit from her. Su Xiangwan loathed these people, kept them at a distance, and never opened her heart to anyone. Her close friend saw this and ached for her—she had been bearing everything alone for years, her heart full of suppressed feelings. The friend quietly kept this in mind, wanting to find her some genuine warmth and companionship. On Su Xiangwan's birthday, the friend mysteriously told her that a surprise had been prepared—one that would suit her tastes and be dependable and reliable. She told her to go meet it without worry, and if she wasn't satisfied, she didn't have to force it. The friend even laughed and said she'd compensate her with a piece of land. After the birthday party ended, Su Xiangwan arrived at the hotel as promised. She entered the room, put down her things, and turned into the bathroom. Warm water streamed down from the top of her head, sliding over her skin, washing away the fatigue and the clamor of social obligations. She closed her eyes, savoring the rare tranquility, but her mind couldn't help conjuring the surprise her friend had mentioned, and a faint sense of anticipation rose in her heart.
