To treat her illness, Ji Mianmian slept with her rival, Jiang Yu’an.
She had lived in his home for many years. One was sensitive with a fierce sense of self-esteem, the other was sharp-tongued and roguish; they were natural-born enemies who clashed at every turn.
At eighteen, she was diagnosed with a rare endometrial disease, leaving her in agonizing pain that felt like death every month. Obscure medical literature suggested that having a child had a high probability of curing the condition.
She asked Jiang Yu’an, “Shall we cooperate? I’ll get cured, and you can write a research paper. We both get what we need.” On the surface, he scolded her for being absurd, but at night, he was incredibly gentle.
Even after their secret marriage and pregnancy, the “rival” couple continued to bicker.
During a pandemic lockdown, she struggled through labor alone in a shipping container while he watched via video call, so distraught he slammed his head against the wall.
She eventually became a freelance photographer specializing in birth photography, documenting the endurance, the screams, and the smiles—even turning the lens upon herself.
Jiang Yu’an mocked her: “Are you filming these out of curiosity or boredom?”
She shot back, “None of your business, Dr. Jiang. Stay away from me.”
Later, Ji Mianmian’s work won an international gold medal and went viral across the internet.
At the exhibition, a reporter pressed her: “Where does the vibrant life force in your work come from?”
She looked toward the audience. Outside the spotlight, the once-tongue-lashed young Chief of Obstetrics stood holding their two children. He flashed a finger heart at her while mouthing:
“Quick, say it’s me.”
