You Are My Favourite Medicine
Pokeweed Moss is sickly and week. All the doctors predict that he will not live beyond thirty. However, he met his destined girl, Ipomoea Lewis, at twenty-seven years old. Ipomoea was born in a western medicine family, but she is not accepted by her family because of her study of Chinese medicine. She doesn't fit in with the whole family. Later, Ipomoea becomes Pokeweed’s personal doctor. After that, Pokeweed needs to reflect several times a day: do I follow Dr. Moss’s advice today? Do I eat the herbal cuisine Dr. Moss cooks? And do I drink herbal tea Dr. Moss makes? One day, Dr. Moss feels his pulse and says, “you’re cured now!” Pokeweed, “I still have a problem. I wonder whether Dr. Moss can cure it.” Dr. Moss, “What’s the problem?” Pokeweed, “I like you so much that I have lovesickness.” Dr. Moss gives him a prescription right away: Ipomoea is the medicine. It needs Pokeweed to take this medicine for a lifetime that he can get cured.
