Features: Bu Xiuwen is the general manager of a company and is in her forties. Her daughter Xia Zaozao contracts a terminal illness—a progressive anemia—where her bone marrow stops producing blood. To save her daughter's life, Bu Xiuwen dedicates everything she has, including her money, time, and life. The young doctor Wei Xiaori is deeply sympathetic to her plight and is also attracted to her extraordinary temperament. For this reason, he seeks help from his mentor, the renowned medical authority Mr. Zhong Baihang, to save that blooming life. Mr. Zhong formulates the medical plan "Blood"—for Bu Xiuwen to give birth to a child with the same genes as Zaozao, from whom bone marrow will be extracted to save Zaozao. Bu Xiuwen becomes pregnant again, the result of a night of intimacy with her husband, carefully recreating the exact atmosphere of their wedding night. However, when the genetic test results come back, it is discovered that Zaozao and the fetus in Bu Xiuwen's womb do not share the same father. From then on, the plot takes a sharp turn, giving rise to a series of moving and perilous stories. Filled with the conflicts between motherly love and love, love and ethics, and human emotions and medical ethics, the story deeply touches the readers, making them reluctant to put it down.
