The Young Master of Yu Circle and His Queen of Spicy Soup

[Set in Henan; both leads are each other's only partners; rekindled love; older woman-younger man romance] [Flashy Henan rich second-generation male lead vs. mildly disciplinarian big-sister-type female lead] Complete. A very short, sweet everyday-life romance. When Xi Zhaoyuan was eighteen, he fell madly in love with Liu Chunxi. Again and again, he asked her to prove that she loved him. He pretended to be poor and pitiful to get her to worry about him and dote on him. In the end, he couldn't keep up the act when his father decided to send him abroad. Before he left, she firmly promised to wait for him, but just a month after he was gone, she stopped responding to his messages. * When they met again, she scratched up his car and made him pay thirty million. He asked what he should do. She said to file an insurance claim. He begged her to get back together. She said she was past the age of liking younger guys and now preferred mature older men. He said older men smelled like old people, unlike him, young and in his prime. He begged her to take him back again. She said she was afraid he'd get too full of himself. He said he would only ever be her humble, devoted lapdog. * Liu Chunxi had always felt that she and Xi Zhaoyuan had no future together. His family opposed them, and her parents didn't approve either. She knew the gap between their families was too wide and that they belonged to different social classes. They were only together now because they still had feelings for each other from years ago. But it wasn't until he turned his back on his entire family for her that she realized just how much he loved her.
