Synopsis

[Both are each other’s first and only + fatherly older man + Buddhist devotee + his long, painful road to winning her back + mutual pining + destined to be together + long-planned romance]

After her family went bankrupt and her parents jumped to their deaths, Nan Yu, once the darling of the heavens, became a public outcast overnight. Forced to marry into a wealthy family to pay off her debts, she was held against a door by the man she had once been intimate with, on the day of her engagement banquet. Her fiancé was just on the other side of the door.

Tan Linyuan was the head of the wealthy Tan family. Rumor had it that he wore prayer beads around his wrist all year, had long since renounced worldly desires, and strictly followed Buddhist precepts. The whole city of Jiangcheng revered him as a living deity.

When Nan Yu heard this, she couldn’t help laughing scornfully. He had broken his vow of chastity with her countless times. How could anyone call him a deity?

He was a Buddhist devotee untouched by the mortal world; she was a speck of dust scorned by everyone.

Until one stormy night, when she sat atop a high-rise and the man stubbornly held an umbrella over her.

Tan Linyuan gripped her wrist, his eyes dark and red-rimmed. “If you’re going to leave, what about the vow you made before Buddha?”

Nan Yu smiled faintly and slipped free of his grasp. “Mr. Tan, I told you long ago: I don’t believe in Buddha.”

The man who seemed like a deity was willing to descend from his altar, all for a chance to win the slightest bit of tenderness from Nan Yu.

Great! The beginning was very exciting!! I hope the female lead and the male lead can get married soon [I understand][I understand] The male lead is stubborn, but his body language is quite honest. The two of them are really good when they're together!

I may be a rigid person. I want Nan Yu to forgive Tan Linyuan, and I want Xiao Banli to live happily with her biological parents. But I am not them, and I cannot make decisions for any of them. Happiness is fleeting, but I hope it can last longer. I hope good people are rewarded and kind people are lucky. I hope they can live the life they want!

It's seriously, seriously, an amazing read! The way Tan Linyuan expresses his love for Nan Yu is so delicate. Most importantly, both the male and female leads have mouths (or rather, their voices). The book is incredibly detailed, with many details foreshadowing later events, unlike other CEO romance novels. I highly recommend it!!!

The content is engaging, and the plot is intricately woven. "Reaching High" depicts the beautiful love that people yearn for. The male lead is handsome and talented, and the female lead is beautiful and flawless. The story goes through many twists and turns, but the ending is happy! It's worth reading!

It's really good, I hope everyone sees this book. Miss Qu is also a very, very good person. The romance between the male and female leads really made me want to cry. Oh my god, I couldn't hold back my tears at the end!
