Synopsis

Orphaned at a young age, Wen Yuan was raised from childhood by a family she had no blood ties to. Her adoptive father, a diplomat, was too busy with work to look after her. Her adoptive mother took good care of her, but was also extremely controlling. Though Wen Yuan tried hard to be a sweet, obedient child, a rebellious streak still simmered beneath the surface. One day, she skipped class and went drinking at a bar with her classmates, where she accidentally got into trouble and was rescued by Wen Xingzhi. Wen Xingzhi was a flawless, legendary figure: iron-fisted, composed, and decisive. Cool and aloof by nature, he kept everyone at arm's length. He helped Wen Yuan solely because of the longstanding ties between their families. Wen Xingzhi's father, Wen Ke, and the father of Wen Yuan's adoptive father, Wen Li, came from the same hometown and clan. They had fought in the revolution together and shared a deep bond. After Wen Yuan's adoptive father died in an accident, Wen Ke took special care of Wen Li's family. The two families were close, like one family. Despite this, Wen Yuan barely knew Wen Xingzhi, since he had worked abroad for years. All she knew was that he was exceptionally capable but difficult to approach. She never expected to get into trouble and end up in his hands. Terrified that he would tell her family, she was relieved when he not only kept quiet but also gave her his contact information, telling her to call if she ever needed anything. That was how their unbreakable connection began. Because her diplomat father was always busy and she was afraid of her mother, Wen Yuan got into the habit of turning to Wen Xingzhi whenever something happened. As he repeatedly cleaned up the messes she made, he gradually began to feel something more for this troublemaking young woman. Once they recognized their feelings for each other, they chose to be together. But when their relationship came to light, both families opposed it, especially Wen Ke, Wen Xingzhi's father, a retired military man. Unable to get past his own reservations, the old man watched his son repeat his mistakes and was willing to play the villain to break them up. Fortunately, the two were steadfast enough, and after weathering a series of trials, they finally won their families' acceptance.

A very touching novel, nice to read

The article is well written and very thought-provoking. The author's articles have never let me down. The only flaw is that this article is missing a chapter. I searched the website, but it didn't connect well with the article here. But overall, it is still a very good article. I hope the author can continue to work hard!

This is the first time I read a novel by the author. I wanted to read it when I read several other novels before, but I never found the source. The male and female protagonists in this book have a nominal uncle-nephew relationship, but they are not actually related by blood. The initial intersection between the two begins when the heroine is called a parent. She is afraid that her parents will know what happened at school, so she always troubles the male protagonist to appear in her place. The male protagonist is a type of mature man who is emotionally stable and self-possessed. He is very well-educated and is the kind of guiding lover I like. He accompanies the female protagonist to grow up. With him, the female protagonist can always be herself with peace of mind. The female protagonist is the kind of child who is well-behaved in front of her family and only lets go in front of her friends. She becomes better in the company of the male protagonist, and the two of them slowly understand each other's feelings for each other. When this relationship was exposed in front of everyone, the male protagonist supported the female protagonist in a very responsible and domineering manner, and the two of them also slowly made their relatives accept the change in their relationship. This book has a linkage with the plot and characters of the one I read before. It can be said that the author has more or less connections in the plots and characters of these books. These books make these characters more plump and three-dimensional. The youthful feelings of some supporting characters in the book made me cry, thinking of my own youth, and hoping that they can find their happy partners in the parallel world and live a beautiful life.

It's a very heart-warming story. It may be regarded as a nurturing story. Fate is destined. However, the emotional entanglement of the male protagonist's father's generation is a bit awkward, and there is also a pseudo-orthopedic who is obsessed with it before he can say it. It is not bloody. I rarely read books with age differences. The short story alleviates the book shortage. Both people have a mouth and will resolve the misunderstanding before it develops. It gives both parties a sense of security and makes me feel physically and mentally comfortable [laughing and crying]

The heroine is not very good, just innocent. It can only be said that they were lovers in the previous life, and they came to renew their relationship in this life. From the time when the female protagonist was very young, the male protagonist relaxed physically and mentally when seeing her, and later on he cared for her more like a daughter. The male protagonist himself is strong enough to protect such love. I have read several of the author's masterpieces. The writing style is very good and mature. It is worth recommending.

Very beautiful. The male and female protagonists in the book gradually developed feelings for each other from their original uncle-nephew relationship. Although they don't seem to match each other to outsiders, the love between him and them is getting better and better. Envious. I like all of the author's books that I have read, and this one is also the case. Thank you author.

The story of this book is really fascinating! The characters all have their own personalities, and I especially like Wen Yuan. Her tenacity and courage are admirable. However, I kind of hate Wen Yuan's mother. She is too controlling over Wen Yuan. Overall, this is a very good novel and worth reading!
