Burning Passion for a Younger Lover

Modern urban romance | Two-year age-gap romance, older woman and younger man | Jiang Yan, a 24-year-old genius university professor, possessive and intense | Wen Ruihan, 26, the cherished only daughter born late to a top financial dynasty | Years of secret love | Campus and wealthy-family storylines | One-on-one, both leads' first relationship | Mutual healing | Challenging prejudice over family status | No vicious, melodramatic female rivals, with a little tension over arranged marriages among elite families

Wen Ruihan is the cherished only daughter born late to the Wen family. At 26, she controls a trillion-yuan business empire, and a string of young heirs from elite families are lined up to marry her.

No one approves of her choosing Jiang Yan, a university professor two years her junior, who's only 24.

At the lectern, Jiang Yan is refined and aloof, his emotions hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses. He keeps his distance from every woman who shows interest in him, and is known across campus as a genius scholar with no worldly desires.

But Wen Ruihan alone has seen the burning obsession in his eyes, surging out of control once he sheds his scholarly air.

The young man holds her by the waist and presses her against the floor-to-ceiling window. His burning breath brushes her ear as he speaks in a low, restrained voice:

“Ruihan-jie, I fell for you at first sight five years ago. I don't care if people think I'm too young or that my background isn't good enough for you. Your heart, your life, everything you have can only belong to me. I can't hold back my feelings for you, not even a little.”

Gossip about their family backgrounds, resistance from their elders, marriage prospects, and campus complications can't stop him.

With his academic talent, Jiang Yan establishes himself, sheds his deep-rooted sense of inferiority, and does everything he can to protect her. All his surging desire, all his wholehearted devotion, belongs to Wen Ruihan alone for the rest of his life.

Gentle heiress × possessive, passionate young genius professor. A five-year secret love turns into mutual surrender across the divides of age and class.
