[Reunion from the start + devoted to each other + seven-year age gap + faux taboo romance + sweet romance + happy ending]
[The doting, tea-serving Qin Shi Huang × the pampered, rebellious young boss]
Ruan Qingfan never imagined that when she saw Li Chenzhou again, it would be at his eldest niece's engagement banquet.
Downstairs, laughter and conversation fill the hotel ballroom.
Upstairs, in the suite's bathroom, a man corners Ruan Qingfan, closing in on her step by step.
Ruan Qingfan plays coy. "We can't do this here..."
The man doesn't relent. His sensual lips brush her earlobe, his hoarse voice steeped in raw desire.
"My good Ruan Ruan, do you remember how your uncle kissed you?"
After living under a wealthy family's roof for years, Ruan Qingfan has always presented herself as quiet and well-behaved.
But the most outrageous thing she ever did in private was seduce the all-powerful man in charge on the night of her coming-of-age ceremony and spend the whole night entangled with him.
They kept their relationship secret for a year before Li Chenzhou left without a word.
Naive and reckless, Ruan Qingfan decides to take a gamble: will the powerful head of the Li family ever look back at her?
But later, the way his gaze lingers on her face is unmistakably tender and intense, always revealing his undisguised desire.
"Ruan Qingfan, I raised you."
"I won't let you lose a bet with me."
Everyone in the capital knows that Li Chenzhou, head of a top-tier wealthy family, is distant and aloof, ruthless and unhinged.
Yet in the end, he falls for a rebellious, spoiled young woman.
He's insatiable, and only feels at peace when he has her in his arms.
Thankfully, Heaven takes pity on them. His heartfelt devotion is finally rewarded, and he gets the love he wished for.
