Synopsis

[Younger, sensitive, well-behaved genius student top × warm, gentle prosecutor bottom]

At the mixer, Wen Yunli leaned against the window, smoking in a corner. Everywhere he looked, he saw nothing but glitz and hypocrisy.

A mocking smile hung on his lips as he took drag after drag. He drank quite a bit, wanting to get drunk, but only managing to reach a light buzz.

Then Xue Sui stood before him. “Everyone's here to find love. Do you think I could be your type?”

His tightly clutched hem was wrinkled into a picture of obedience. Beneath that disguise, his aggression was veiled by a world of hypocrisy, and it grated on Wen Yunli's nerves.

Wen Yunli grabbed Xue Sui by the collar, his eyes full of scorn. “You're too well-behaved. You're not for me. I don't want someone like you.”

Later, Xue Sui pinned Wen Yunli against the wall, his voice hoarse. “What about me like this? Am I wild enough now?”

Wen Yunli was more than happy to oblige.

Later still, Wen Yunli wrote a line beneath their names on their documents: “Straight ahead, through the clouds and ten thousand miles into the blue sky.”

May we both become better versions of ourselves, and may our future soar like a great bird, straight into the boundless blue sky.

I thought I was facing every challenge with my faith in hand. In the end, I realized you were the one pointing me in the right direction.

May the song end and the curtains fall, while the world remains at peace.

A sweet, mutually redemptive story, and also the first part of a trilogy ❤️

Oh ho ho ho, I really love the new book! Wen Yunli saw through Xue Sui's disguise from the very beginning, although... But... Those interactions were so cute! 😳😳 It got even better when he brought her home, the atmosphere was amazing! "Can we cross the line?" Wow, that was just too much! The junior is so good at pretending, even though he was seen through, hahaha, it's so sweet! 🥰🥰 Since I've read this far, I have to congratulate Wen Yunli on getting into the quota! 🥳🥳 Achieving your dream! 👍👍👍

This is so good! (´｡✪ω✪｡`) You all have to read it! It's completely sweet, not angsty at all. The younger man/older woman dynamic, the older man/younger man dynamic, the prosecutor/shoulder pairing with the college student/gong are just too good to handle! Even though the ratings aren't great, the book is truly captivating. You all have to read it! 🥰🥰🥰

Go straight and fast, and you'll soar to great heights. I really love the love story between Xue Sui and Wen Yunli. From mutual secret crushes to a mutual commitment, they are each other's most authentic selves and heal each other. Their love is beautiful; they shine brightly in their respective dream fields, becoming the best versions of themselves as they accompany each other on their journey.

I love it! Keep writing, author! 🤭🤭 Sisters, hurry up and watch it! It's so exciting and addictive, it's absolutely amazing! 😄😄 The romance and plot are both very well written, and the author's writing is superb. Go for it! 💕💕💕💕

This is incredibly good, absolutely captivating!! It takes a typical structure to write such a logically intricate crime-solving story, and it's not just a simple romance. It's already over 200 chapters, and the rating isn't high. I've followed the author's previous trilogy, and it was super good. I hope the author's new account's work gets noticed soon!!!

I initially thought it was just a pure romance story, but it turned out to have a surprisingly rich plot. A crime-solving element? Anyway, it was quite interesting, although some of the plot points were rather common. I won't spoil it for you to read and see for yourselves!

The storyline is tightly connected, the writing is delicate, there are many foreshadowing elements, and the characters are vividly portrayed. I really like Asui and Yunli; their characters are quite three-dimensional. Even though I feel this story shouldn't be on Tomato's website, it's still very good. 👍👍 👍👍🥰🥰🥰

Family, this book is really good!! Wen Xuechang is so gentle, and a prosecutor who upholds justice. A Sui is also wonderful; the contrast between them makes Wen Xuechang absolutely adore him. Author, please keep updating, I'm supporting you from behind!!!
