[Warm, resilient florist x clingy younger tech tycoon]
Shen Zhiyi’s flower shop is filled with illustrated books and a subtle fragrance, until a clingy force of nature barges in: tech tycoon Lu Xingchen. He’s decisive and ruthless in business, but around her he insists on being an attached little sister’s-boyfriend type.
He keeps finding excuses to visit by buying flowers, his fingertips brushing hers as she trims the stems. His breath tangles with the ends of her hair. “Your flowers smell better than anything, Sis.”
Late at night, he stands guard outside in the name of “protecting the flowers,” cornering her between the doorframe and his arms as his burning gaze fixes on her flushed earlobes.
The premium flowers he sends anonymously carry his scent. Hidden in the shadows, he watches as she bends to pick them up, her skirt outlining her soft, alluring curves.
Lu Xingchen’s father tries to tear them apart: “She has a child. She’ll hold you back.” He forces her to choose between them. Shen Zhiyi leaves resolutely, leaving him alone in the empty flower shop.
Red-eyed, he confronts his father. “You made me lose the warmest light in my life!” Then he volunteers outside the old flower shop, clumsily braiding crooked pigtails for Nuannuan and moving multimillion-yuan meetings to the cafe next door, all so he won’t miss a moment of her return. He waits outside her new home, eyes red, and holds her tight. “Sis, I was wrong. Don’t leave me.” His burning kiss lands on her forehead, trembling with the relief of having her back.
Content notes:
1. The male lead is completely devoted! He’s clingy but not childish, has a strong career arc, and dotes on both his wife and child.
2. His father is the “tough on the outside, soft on the inside” type, not a traditionally authoritarian parent.
3. Adorable Nuannuan is the orphaned child of the female lead’s friend, whom she adopted. She is not her biological child.
One-line summary: A flirtatious, push-and-pull urban romance between an older woman and a younger man, with the whole family playing matchmaker.
