Synopsis

Teacher Zhou Wanyu is skilled at playing the guqin. Cool and beautiful, she seems almost otherworldly, and the parents of her students are always trying to set her up with someone.

But in private, people say that Teacher Zhou has been dating someone for nearly four years without getting married.

Shen Qiannan, a powerful figure in the capital, is gentle and refined. But when he goes to pick up his little niece after school, he finds himself attracted to her teacher.

From then on, Shen Qiannan becomes his niece's dedicated chauffeur.

Zhou Wanyu has been in a relationship with her boyfriend, Bai Ze, for four years, and they are on the verge of discussing marriage. But when she goes to his family's home for dinner, they humiliate her in front of everyone.

“Xiaoyu, just put up with it for my sake. I work so hard out there because I want to take over the family business soon and be with you sooner!”

Zhou Wanyu feels a stab of pain in her heart.

Some time later, the parents bringing their children in for lessons notice that something is wrong with Teacher Zhou. They find out in private that she has broken up with her boyfriend!

One dusky afternoon, Shen Qiannan uses his gratitude for Zhou Wanyu's devoted teaching of his niece as an excuse to have someone go to a music shop and choose a piano.

As they wait, Shen Qiannan pours her tea. “I heard you broke up with your boyfriend, Teacher Zhou. Why not consider me?”

Zhou Wanyu holds her white jade teacup, and her hand trembles. A trace of panic passes through her cool gaze.

You have to marry someone, so why not choose Shen Qiannan?

Classical beauty × gentle, refined power player from the capital

Reader's guide:

1. The heroine was in a relationship with her ex-boyfriend for four years, but they were both each other's first.

2. The old flame doesn't rekindle; the second male lead takes the lead (though that's not quite what happens).

3. The male lead has been plotting this for a long time, and both leads know how to speak up.

4. The heroine is cool and aloof by nature, but the male lead gradually brings her down from her pedestal until she has eyes only for him. She'll become shy.

It's really good! I'm quite picky about books, but this one is absolutely amazing. Lastly, does the author have a Weibo account? 💕💕💕💕 Let me know if the author opens a Weibo account 💕💕

It's really good, and the short length means it won't feel tiring. It's a huge plus for guys who are obsessed with romance!!! Overall, I didn't feel awkward at all. If you don't want to spend too much time reading a novel, I highly recommend it. It's not boring either. Actually, if it were a bit longer, I'd love to see the parts about the best friend and her boyfriend; that would be so nice!

It's so sweet, it's killing me with sweetness! The male lead is really gentle and respectful to the female lead. Her ex-boyfriend broke up with her in the first few chapters, unlike other stories where there's endless back and forth. He harassed the female lead once, but the male lead got rid of him and he never showed up again. I really like that.

I really thought it was great! When I first saw that Shen Qiannan had liked Zhou Wanyu for many years, I thought it would be like many novels where they keep it a secret and are afraid to confess. But I didn't expect that later, when the time was right, he would just confess. There were no scenes of an ex-boyfriend constantly pestering him or a naive girl causing trouble.

November 22, 2023. A well-structured short story with no stepmother, no illness, and no mistress. It's quite sweet; after years of unrequited love, the protagonist finally marries the person he loves and spoils her like a princess. 👍

It's really good and sweet. The male lead is very gentle, kind, and respectful to the female lead. The ending feels a bit rushed, but that doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend it! You won't regret watching it! 💕💕💕💕💕💕

Although the book has many shortcomings, it's one of the better ones in the "chasing-back-to-the-wife-is-a-death-path" series I've read. Thumbs up! Looking forward to more excellent works from the author! 💕❤️ [Bookmark]

I especially love the author's words: "A good relationship can provide you with positive emotional value. If all you get from a relationship is sadness and heartbreak, then it's better to wake up in time." This sweet little story brought me a lot of joy during this gloomy period of my life. Thank you, author!
