How Ruthless the Marquis Is in Persuading People to Retreat, but How Distressing It Is to Coax People.

Yan Ruo, the youngest daughter of Uncle Zhongyuan's house, was nearly eighteen years old and unmarried, so she was ridiculed as an old girl who could not get married. At a banquet, Yan Ruo met the powerful official who dared to raise the table with the current emperor, Dingyuan Hou Hanchenzhi. Yan Ruo didn't expect that this would be the beginning of his and Han Chenzhi's story. She thought he was fierce, but she dared to ask him for help again and again, and gradually found that she fell in love with him. She is very timid and easily scared, but she is very courageous and dares to tell him directly that she likes him. However, Han Chenzhi advised her not to focus on him. He was old, married, and had a daughter, so he would not like her. She didn't flinch, and he was hiding, but he silently protected her again and again. She was angry, she felt wronged, and she wanted to help him keep his deceased wife's integrity, but he felt distressed. He didn't want to be separated from her anymore. He had fallen in love with her unknowingly. Warm reminder: there is an age difference, the male protagonist has loved someone before and has a biological daughter.
