On the first day of Shu Qin’s medical residency, she met the “chief resident” Yu Ming.
Upon learning that Shu Qin is his junior training under his mentor, he was extremely disdainful, “Train her? Whoever is willing to train her can go ahead and do so, I don’t have so much spare time on my hands.”
Unfortunately, the Medical Director in charge of his department had already issued instructions. As such, Doctor Yu was left with little choice but to train Shu Qin personally – only for his face to transform from an expression of unhappiness to an expression of secret glee within a single month.
At the expiry of the month, it was Shu Qin’s turn to vent her unhappiness, “To think that this person staunchly refused to train me at the start; and now, no matter how much effort I vest into turning him away, he stubbornly refuses to leave?”

She was born with an optimistic and easygoing attitude, and was the rising star of the Department of Anaesthesiology.
As she walked towards him in the moonlight, his reclusive and enlightened heart finally stirred.
Their meeting was a miracle that had been predestined from the start.
With a heart full of pure sincerity, she gradually became his lifelong object of faith.
“I love you too. No matter what happens to you, I’ll always love you.”
To her, he was the single, brightest star amidst the sea of dazzling stars. Like a shooting star, he streaked across the wide expanse of the sky, leaving a blinding dazzle in her eyes.
She wanted to stand right next to him, side by side at the peak of the mountain top.

Some people are like unrefined jade, that had to be carefully polished and sculpted before they are able to shine, while others were like falcons and eagles, which had to be patiently trained and cultivated before they are able to soar in the skies. As for him, he was born a sword – the moment he was unsheathed, he would be able to strike down all obstacles that stood in his way.
With his unhurried manner, he was the most brilliant talent of recent years in the Department of Anaesthesiology.
Stumbling and floundering, he traveled on a harsh, solitary road for twelve years, just so he could be granted redemption.
And at long last, his patience endured, and that one, special person finally appeared before him – that one, special person who would become his greatest pride and joy in this lifetime.
“I want to tell you, that for the rest of my life, I want to live with you and support you till we’re white and grey. No matter how many obstacles and storms come our way, let’s promise never to abandon, or ditch each other halfway.”
The manner in which she gazed at him, was the most beautiful form of love he had ever seen.

What a great summary…I want to read it so badly haha
Surprisingly, I found I Want To Live In Your Heart 我想住在你心上 / 谁动了我的听诊器 a relatively difficult read – not because of the usual “offenders” such as poor characterizations, draggy plots, and horrible plot development; no, I Want To Live In Your Heart is “difficult” solely because of the amount of actual expertise and technical facts injected into the novel. Set in a hospital setting, this novel does not use the setting as a mere troupe as the author injects detailed explanations and procedures about the process and difficulties encountered by anaesthesiologists (unsurprisingly, the author appears to work in the medical field).
But, putting aside all the technical bits of the novel, I Want To Live In Your Heart is truly, at its core, a simple and sweet story about how two stellar, upright, mature and inspiring individuals who truly love the medical field, and the work that they do, met, worked together, and eventually fell in love with each other. The love story does, at times, take a backseat to the events that happen at the hospital (the politicking between the seniors at the hospital, the clinical studies run by the various medical officers, and the never-ending shifts in the operating theatre), but it is through these events that our author manages to create two extremely wholesome and real characters whose lives do not simply revolve around each other – they have their dreams, their ambitions, and their internal demons to battle, and although sometimes the road to achieving such dreams and ambitions may take them away from each other for long stretches of time, isn’t this just a realistic reflection of life (and how an ideal relationship should work when confronted with such a reality)? The unhurried and calm nature of the two main leads also help to ensure that the romance, though not always smooth sailing, always remains grounded and mature. Whilst they do have their quarrels, rest assured that such quarrels are never, in any instance, over trivial matters. All in all, a fairly smooth and easy read with intelligent, lovable main characters who do not inspire an irrepressible desire to tear my hair out when reading.
