A Time to Flourish

[Romance + Campus Life + Urban Life + Education Industry Elite + Slow-Burn Growth + Sweet Everyday Moments + Workplace Comeback] Su Yan comes from an ordinary working family. Through extraordinary resilience and ability, she becomes the specially appointed principal of a prestigious secondary school at just thirty. Once, faced with skepticism from the entire school, she used calm, decisive leadership to steady things over the course of three years and double the school’s reputation. Lu Shiyan is a Chinese teacher at a neighboring school. Having lost both his parents, he has learned to hide behind a gentle reserve, revealing his talkative, focused side only when discussing academics or spending time with those close to him. The two meet at an academic conference. From discussing education reform to sharing lunch, from “academic visits” to the neighboring school to the unspoken understanding of revising papers late into the night, their two steady hearts gradually draw closer. Her best friend Lin Xi is a corporate president. The two were attacked abroad, and Su Yan saved her with her taekwondo skills. Their bond is closer than that of sisters. After they marry, Lu Shiyan takes charge of the kitchen while Su Yan becomes his enthusiastic sous-chef. After an unexpected pregnancy, their life as a family of three is filled with the discipline of school and the warmth of home.
