Gardenia's Intent Falls Upon the Inkstone Heart

"Gentle, sweet teacher x reserved, restrained CEO + ten-year age gap + bittersweet push and pull + mutual secret crush (the female lead is sexually inexperienced)"

Xu Zhiyu fell in love at first sight with Lu Yanchuan, the father of her student Lu Yuchu. Thinking he was already married, she could only hide and suppress her feelings.

Lu Yuchu had been sensitive and introverted since childhood, unwilling to reach out to others. But she was especially fond of her gentle teacher, and would open her heart only to her. Lu Yanchuan approached Xu Zhiyu, hoping she could spend some time supporting and guiding his daughter. Unable to turn him down, Xu Zhiyu agreed.

Xu Zhiyu unexpectedly learned that Lu Yanchuan was divorced and raising his daughter alone. As they spent their days together, their feelings grew stronger, and she fell deeper in love.

Later, Lu Yanchuan's ex-wife returned to the country hoping to reconcile. She used every scheme at her disposal to force the two apart.

After weathering every hardship, Zhizhi and A Yan finally found their happy ending.
