At 32, Lin Wan’s marriage left her utterly shattered.
Her husband cheated, so she decisively let go, left with nothing, and gave up on love and marriage for good.
The day her mother dragged her to a matchmaking corner, she was full of resistance and wanted nothing more than to escape this mercenary matching game.
Instead, she met 60-year-old Gu Zhenbang.
A retired, level-headed gentleman, he was neither slick nor calculating. He had lived alone for years and only wanted someone compatible to share the rest of his life with.
There were no sweet nothings or displays of wealth. After just a few words, they understood each other’s feelings:
Neither was willing to settle or make do. All they wanted was a steady, dependable companionship.
His sudden suggestion, “Why don’t we try getting married on a whim?” left her stunned, yet for the first time, this exhausted woman found herself moved.
There was no age barrier or worldly prejudice. She put aside all the criticism and chose to marry him.
For the rest of their lives, he would protect her and give her security, while she would stay by his side year after year and bring warmth to his twilight years.
It turned out the best marriage was never about matching ages, but about kindred souls and finding peace in each other.
The writing is quite good and more relevant to life. I feel that there are some practical issues that were not discussed before the heroine and the uncle got married. The heroine is so young, whether she wants children, and the uncle's protection for the heroine when he gets older also needs to be considered. We can't just get along and get married. The heroine should have more psychological descriptions. In reality, unless you are rich, there are actually a lot of difficulties encountered due to such an age difference.
The title of the book seemed ridiculous. Who knew I couldn't stop reading it? It was easy to read it from the perspective of the heroine. The reactions from all parties were very practical. I felt that in my thirties, I'm not old yet. I wouldn't find an old man here! But the male protagonist has a really good personality and is very pragmatic. He is a man who lives at home. The female protagonist also hopes to find a male protagonist with this kind of personality. It should be very sweet to overcome the obstacles of being together. This kind of subject matter is rare. I hope the author will update more and give me a five-star review!!!!!
Using concise language to describe the ordinary, subtle, and simple daily lives of the male and female protagonists, it gradually makes people want to read it. I like this novel more and more. I have been following this book. I hope the author will update it as soon as possible. I look forward to it!
This is a very comfortable novel, and it also gave me, a single old woman, a revelation: happiness is just talking and eating well together.
Reading the whole book makes one feel calm and peaceful. It is far away from the current impatience and eagerness for recent publications. I like it very much, and from time to time there are one or two golden sentences about life that show the author's writing skills, and the description of characters and environments is also good!
There is a kind of quiet flavor of time!
The author's true descriptions of the characters' inner thoughts and straightforward narration make the characters come to life. There are descriptions of ordinary life and twists and turns in the plot that make people unexpected. It's a good work that made me want to read it in one sitting!
This book narrates that the heroine is 32 years old and has a mental age of 61. Her heart is as calm as water, and the years are peaceful. The two of them spend their whole lives chatting.
It's a very good, easy-to-read daily novel. The lives of two people are full of fireworks, and the love flows slowly. It's about daily life, just like Lao Gu in the article. Lao Gu does nothing in a hurry, doesn't fight, and slows down. It gives us a kind of slow-paced healing. There is no rush, no vigorous love, only a long-lasting life. It would be better if the story content and plot were richer.
I don't understand. Didn't you say that my wife was sick and gone? Why does this happen again 🤦
