【Marriage first, love later + age gap + both each other’s first + utterly devoted】
【Powerful political figure in government ✖ gentle, independent diving instructor】
Jiang Yu was obsessed with diving, and her family even owned a diving club.
Her life had been simple.
Then, by sheer coincidence, she spent one night with a stranger.
That man turned out to be Zhou Jinnian, a senior leader in Donghai City.
Afterward, he proposed marriage.
His tone was entirely rational.
“I don’t need love. I need a wife.”
“...All right.”
*
If someone asked Jiang Yu how she felt about being newly married, she might give the philosophical version:
“Marriage is like diving: fascinating and dangerous, but you can’t help wanting to try it again and again.”
Or, in plain language:
“Zhou Jinnian is a model husband: generous, gentle, and considerate.”
The two of them held hands and went grocery shopping like any ordinary young couple.
He took care of all the heavy bags.
And he never forgot to buy his wife a bouquet of flowers.
Zhou Jinnian was also courteous and restrained in bed.
If Jiang Yu wasn’t ready, he wouldn’t pressure her.
Until, later on...
She finally realized that his claims of being free of desire and rigidly self-disciplined were all lies!!
The man’s desire was as fierce as his ambition.
“Zhou Jinnian, you... weren’t like this before.”
A long, lingering kiss left Jiang Yu blushing.
“Mm.”
He answered nonchalantly, lifting her hands above her head before lowering his head to kiss her again.
“Then let’s get to know each other all over again.”
（A sweet romance with evenly matched leads and mutual healing! The heroine is gentle on the outside but strong-willed, and passionate about her career. The hero is mature and steady, with an intense need for control.）
Must be 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
