Professor Tan, Do Your Family Know How Calculating You Are?

A worldly, unconventional jewelry brand founder vs. a gentle, upright rising star in international relations, who’s a master of sweet talk

Winning her over (no groveling at her feet) & doting on each other (mostly him doting on her) & a highly independent heroine & a devoted husband with top-tier emotional and intellectual intelligence & a sweet romance about love and marriage

A story about two smart people falling in love the right way

Between reality and fairy tales.

Lin Luojia unexpectedly became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. She decided to use the baby to fool her parents into leaving her free to pursue her own goals.

At most, when they pushed too hard, she would show up for a blind date to placate them.

At their first meeting, she went straight for the kill:

"I'm 26, unmarried with a child, and currently starting a business. Work is all I care about, and I have no plans to have another child."

Tan Jinyan wasn't put off. Instead, he took advantage of being mistaken for her actual blind date and added her as a friend.

Then, little by little, he drew closer and won her over, using sincerity and patience to warm her up like a frog in slowly heating water, until she gradually accepted him.

Professor Tan is a top-tier looker, an expert in his field, from a wealthy family, and a perfect gentleman. Apart from being a little too clever, he's practically the perfect husband.

As Lin Luojia enjoyed being with him, she couldn't help wondering: Why did someone like him insist on choosing her?

When she asked, he said:

"A good relationship is the most expensive luxury in the world. I already have everything, so this is what I want."

When she asked again, he said:

"Your daughter, Jiujiu, might very well be my daughter too."

Finally, she asked one last time, and he carefully took both her hands:

"When we first met, I wasn't clearheaded enough. My instincts chose you for me. After we met again, my reason made me certain of you."

"The first was fate. The second was my own doing. Whether you believe in fate or in human effort, either way, it's you."
