[Nine-year age gap + Both are romantically inexperienced + Sweet romance + Caring older-man type]
Lian Qiao is a 17-year-old college freshman. On her very first day on campus, she sets her sights on the handsome, aloof guy at school. She walks right up and confesses by asking for his WeChat, but then forgets to ask his full name or major. She doesn't even know he's a doctoral student nine years older than her, and that their campuses are so far apart you could circle the school three times!

After adding him, she instantly turns into a chatterbox, pestering Tao Shi every day to let her snoop through his Moments. She even imagines he has a girlfriend and nearly deletes him in the middle of the night.
When she falls ill, she confesses to him for the second time, only to be met with silence. Then she throws a little tantrum and refuses to meet him. But Tao Shi has already been so captivated by the girl that he can't focus on his experiments, and even his family can tell something is up.

At a bar on New Year's Eve, Lian Qiao raises her glass and confesses for the third time. Tao Shi grips his glass, his heart racing out of control, and finally lets go of his reservations and returns her feelings.
--
It all begins with Lian Qiao's bold pursuit of love. Tao Shi stays by her side through her entire college career, while Lian Qiao accompanies Tao Shi as he moves from campus into the working world. The two experience campus dating, online dating, weekend dating, a long-distance relationship (or so Tao Shi thinks), and passionate love. They go through the adjustment period, the stable phase, and the commitment stage, moving from sweet campus life into a sweet married life.

While watching a palace-intrigue drama together, during the scene in Episode 2 where the emperor interacts with Consort Nian:
Lian Qiao: Is the emperor treating Consort Nian this way because of General Nian? Why?
Tao Shi: Because whoever commands the army commands the realm.
Lian Qiao: Huh? But the emperor doesn't control the army...
Tao Shi: As long as he keeps General Nian on his side, General Nian will follow him. That means the army is in his hands.
Lian Qiao: Mmm~
