A Song for the Lord of Huai: The Cool Professor Is Spoiled by His Marriage

Bright and sweet college student VS sly, reserved, mature professor Age gap / Love grows over time / Falling hard / He supports her every step of the way / Both are each other’s only one, happy ending Ji Zhenghuai, a twenty-six-year-old professor in the mathematics department at Jing University, is cool-headed, handsome, and brilliant. He has never dated or married. Then one day, he learns from his grandfather that he has been engaged all along, and that his fiancée is not only eight years younger than him, but also his student. Ashamed at the thought of robbing the cradle, he firmly refuses, insisting he could never fall in love with his student. But as they spend day after day together, he gradually finds himself drawn to his bright, lovable little wife, and his defenses crumble bit by bit. Once he realizes he has fallen for her, he gladly accepts it and decides to seize the engagement fate has handed him. For her sake, he is willing to abandon his principles. His scheming side comes out in full force as he carefully lures her into his trap and takes every chance to confess, all so he can keep her by his side. From Jing City to London, he stays with her through her youth and three years abroad. In their seventh year together, Shang Qingyao suddenly asks him, “Big brother, will you ever stop loving me?” Ji Zhenghuai freezes for a moment, then chuckles softly. “That day will never come, baby. Every day for these past seven years, I’ve loved you more than the day before.” His love has long since become a part of him. “Baby, the truth is, it’s never been that you need me. I’m the one who needs you.” Shang Qingyao once thought Ji Zhenghuai was an untouchable flower atop a mountain. But ever since she accepted his confession, he’s been like a different person. Before they got together, he was restrained and proper. Afterward, he’s always asking for kisses. This Professor Ji, so aloof and seemingly free of desire in everyone else’s eyes, gives all his tenderness to her.
