Fake teacher-student relationship / younger man / older woman romance / age gap / both untouched
How do you wring a hefty sum from a wealthy old father who's always favored sons over daughters? Now there's a philosophical question!
“Have you heard? The Xia family's daughter sure has guts. She said she was going overseas to study and swindled a ton of money, but she never went. She took the money and bought a house near City No. 1 High School!”
Xia Zhiqiu: No, I bought a house and gave it to someone. The added-value service is nonrefundable.
Kneeling before the ancestral tablets while her father whipped her with a cane until her eyes filled with tears, Xia Zhiqiu still thought: If I'd known I'd get beaten this badly, I should've kept the lie going for another year!

Later, he'd been to many places and met many people. At last, he could tell her: I still like you.
She was the most dazzling light he'd ever seen in his dull life.
