Synopsis

[Younger man + healing + mutual secret crush] [Not a wish-fulfillment story + design industry + cozy everyday life] [Simple, straightforward older single woman × sincere, clear-eyed fresh graduate] [At the breaking point in her career, almost driven mad × spirited and boundless] [A perfect complement + helping each other succeed]

Xu Shan may be getting on in years, but she’s simple and straightforward, not a schemer, a little goofy, and rather rough around the edges.

Liang Yao is new to the world, but considerate, dependable, sincere, assertive, and blessed with a good memory.

Life has taken its toll on her, and she’s gradually lost her edge, settling into a quiet routine.

He’s a fearless young buck, daring to dream and fight, and ready to get things done!

She draws on her experience to help him avoid pitfalls and take fewer detours.

He brings the energy of youth, helping her reignite her passion and find herself again.

Together, they complement each other and help one another succeed, making both their youth shine all the brighter!

Any Realistic Romance Novels With a Calm, Everyday Feel?

I don't want wealthy-family stories or some kind of golden finger. I want something grounded in real life, unforgettable, and well written. The plot shouldn't move too fast, but it should be vivid and engaging, with an original storyline. Could some lovely fairy please grace me with a recommendation? I'm seriously out of things to read.
