He becomes a symbol of resistance, taking on mutated beasts and rogue factions while trying to restore some order.When Amira and Aiden cross paths, it’s not exactly love at first sight. Their icy and fiery personalities clash, but they can’t deny the need to join forces. They both want the same thing: a sanctuary where survivors can be safe. So, they decide to work together, hatching a plan to take down the alien ship before it can call in reinforcements for a full-scale invasion.Amid epic battles, unexpected alliances, and a budding romance, Amira and Aiden must face both their inner demons and the alien threat. It’s a fight for survival in a world that’s gone wild, with everything at stake—including their own hearts.

【Loving you is the sweetest thing in my heart】

Everyone in the First Affiliated Hospital knows that Xu Mai of the Cardiac Surgery Department is a high-altitude flower with first-class medical skills, first-class talent and appearance, and a icy aura… also first-class, which has frostbitten the hearts of a large number of suitors.

The new intern, Min Yue, became more and more courageous with the cold, persistently chasing after Xu Mai and wagging his tail: “Master, Master, I can warm the bed. The operating room is so cold, will you marry me?”

【Min Yue’s Love Story Theater】

Min Yue: “Master, as soon as I saw you, the dopamine level in my brain rose rapidly.”

Xu Mai was looking at the case and ignored her.

Min Yue pointed to her heart: “Master, the place between my second and fifth ribs is where you live.”

Xu Mai flipped through the medical records, but still ignored her.
Min Yue suddenly hugged her sweetheart from behind: “Master, I like you.”
Xu Mai stared at the case, his ears turned red quietly.
