A sweet romance! A sweet romance! A sweet romance!
[Eight-year age gap + mostly sweet with a little angst + strictly monogamous, both leads inexperienced]
[Unfavored young master from a wealthy family × cheerful, radiant heiress]
In everyone else's eyes, Fu Zijin is just a rich playboy who takes nothing seriously.
No matter who he faces or what happens, he always greets it with a smile.
It's as if nothing matters to him.
But to Shen Qinghan, all those smiles are just a mask he wears to hide his true feelings.
She once saw him as a young man, brimming with confidence and swaggering as if no one could touch him.
She also saw him sob uncontrollably after losing both his parents.
And she saw him coldly beat up the punks who bullied her.
She wants to find the real Fu Zijin again.
But she eventually realizes she doesn't have what it takes.
Her ten years of unrequited love seem to have been nothing but wishful thinking.
Fu Zijin doesn't get it. Are young women these days really this bold?
When she can't win him over, she just asks if he'll sleep with her. If not, she'll find someone else.
What kind of joke is that? He watched her grow up. How could he bring himself to do it?
But those other guys are no better than rotten cucumbers. At least he's clean, body and soul.
So what if he watched her grow up? She's his best friend's niece, not his own. He's got no reason to turn down her invitation.
After sleeping with her and discovering he can't get enough, Fu Zijin thinks he must have been crazy to play hard to get for the past few months.
I like their characters very much. I came from another book. I hope the author will update it.
