[Modern urban life + marriage before love + mature and healing romance + sweet contrast + a touch of bittersweet realism] Wen Zhixia, 22, is a recent art-school graduate and freelance illustrator. Lu Chenyen, 30, is a vice president at a publicly listed company, a composed and reserved business elite: taciturn, ascetic, aloof on the outside and warm inside, the very image of a “mature, old-fashioned husband.”
An eight-year age gap, a generational divide, and differences in social circles: what kind of sparks will fly between a lively young woman and a composed, taciturn, mature man who keeps his desires in check?
A generational divide is never really about age. It is about hearts unwilling to draw close. Two people living on different wavelengths shed their disguises and break through their barriers, eventually finding a love that belongs only to them.
From “a marriage bound together with nothing to say” to “devotion that crosses every divide,” it turns out all that “awkwardness born of a generational gap” is a love uniquely their own.
This is the third book I have read by the author. At first glance, the subject matter is very novel, and the emotional descriptions of the two people are delicate and beautiful.
The CEO's love story is written from a new perspective. It's worth reading.
