Synopsis

[Powerful Families | Female Growth | Bittersweet Romance | Older Man] (Clear-headed, beautiful college student vs. composed, powerful heir) People often say that those in power care only about their family’s interests. Even what passes for love is just another tool for profit. If you fall for someone like that, the best you can hope for is this: you remain on your high terrace, I retreat to my spring mountains, and from then on our paths never cross again. Everyone in Beijing’s inner circle knows that Gu Boyan, personally chosen by the Old Master of the Gu family as his heir, has the family’s interests etched into his bones. He never allows himself to take a single wrong step, and he won’t let anyone else get in his way, either. A chance encounter that had been carefully arranged finally unsettled the heart of the usually calm and collected Gu Boyan. “Zijin, I can’t give you money, fame, or power.” He looked at her, his voice low, each word clear. “But I can give you all my connections, my background, and my resources. “You can climb on my shoulders to reach the top. I’ll make sure you reach heights even I can’t touch.” “With me, you’ll always have a way out.” She thought that if she stayed clear-headed enough, she could walk away from this relationship unscathed. In the end, all she could do was watch herself fall deeper, step by step. Only later did she understand that the way out he promised was a one-way street. Every time she climbed higher on his shoulders, she sank deeper into his flesh and bones. Clear-headedness was the blade, surrender the sheath. When blade and sheath came together, no matter how far away the spring mountains lay, they were never as distant as the stars of devotion in her eyes.

Older Love Interest Swallows Their Pride for Love. Looking for Good Writing, Maybe a Redemption Story

I’m looking for a story where the male lead is powerful and high-ranking, gentle at heart, and mature, while the female lead has a lower social status. A healing romance is fine, such as a tragic female lead being saved by the male lead, as long as it doesn’t involve a transaction or anything like that. Basically, I want the male lead to help her often.
