[Age gap + heroine is not a virgin, hero is + powerful man bows to love + mutual healing + possessive love]

[Twenty-year-old wild Beijing crown prince vs. forty-year-old gentle, resilient housekeeper]

.

Liu Yuqin is forty years old.

She is gentle, capable, hardworking, and kind, but because she is timid, she has become a complete doormat in her ex-husband’s family.

Her mother-in-law gives her a hard time, and her husband looks down on her.

Her life is a complete mess.

.

Everything begins to change when she meets Lu Huai.

Lu Huai is twenty, the young master of the Lu family in Beijing, known as the crown prince of Beijing’s elite.

He is a roguish troublemaker, rebellious and exuding an arrogant air of invincibility.

.

Later, Lu Huai kneels on one knee before Liu Yuqin with a diamond ring, saying earnestly, “Auntie, will you marry me? I want you to love me forever, and only me.”

.

Later still,

Lu Huai massages Liu Yuqin’s shoulders and asks if he’s pressing too hard. He washes her feet and asks if the water is too hot.

Liu Yuqin can’t help thinking: A younger husband really is better!
