[Older, gentle support | Deeply devoted but restrained | Possessive, exclusive love | Saving each other and reaching the top]
Everyone says Chen Zhixing is gentle and self-possessed, free of worldly desire, and always distant and aloof. He never makes an exception for anyone.
Except for Wen Qiu, the exception and obsession he has kept hidden for half his life.
Her road ahead is full of brambles and treacherous currents. Alone, Wen Qiu struggles to make any headway. Determined to escape her predicament and reach the heights she deserves, she deliberately gets close to him, using his connections and resources to move forward one step at a time, climbing the path he lays out for her.
Chen Zhixing never calls her out.
He has always been disciplined and careful to keep proper boundaries. For her alone, he willingly breaks every principle and limit, quietly clearing her path and removing every obstacle ahead.
“You shouldn’t have pursued me.”
Yet the hand resting on her waist refuses to let her go.
He maintains a suitable distance in word and manner, constantly reminding himself to keep his space. But in private, he draws on everything he has spent half a lifetime building, using all his resources and connections to catch her whenever she falls and lift her higher at every step.
He knows she initially approached him with an ulterior motive. He knows she is using him to climb higher. Still, he does it willingly, and wouldn’t have it any other way.
He asks for no daily companionship and no return for his deep affection. He only wants her road ahead to be smooth, her years to be peaceful, and to be the only one by her side forever.
“I never dared hope you would love me.”
“But for the rest of your life, you can only stand by my side.”
Beneath the dimming lights, he gazes at her, dazzling and radiant, his eyes filled with a lifetime of tenderness and all-or-nothing devotion.
“I’ll spend half my life’s glory lifting you to the top, in exchange for you staying by my side forever.”
It's a good read. I got it from Xiu Ge's book. The author will update it soon!!!
The author writes very well and is very interesting.
Why isn't it updated?
It's really good-looking, and the Beijing Madam's Guide to Getting There is also good-looking, but it's all very cheating.
Looking forward to seeing if there will be any linkage with Beijing officials
I read this book from Fang Jingxiu, it's very good.
Super porridge looking forward to updates
Oh my god... I came from the place where Mrs. Jingguan was raised. She is so pretty. Please update your butt soon.
Nice to watch, love to read, update soon.
So pretty! From Brother Xiu's point of view, I really ask everyone to watch it! It's a good book that you can't miss at all, cheers for you
