At thirty-three, Wang Qingqing is clearheaded and independent. She has never believed that a relationship with an eleven-year age gap could work. Yet twenty-two-year-old Su Yong barges into her life, passionate, sincere, and stubbornly promising her a future. Again and again, she finds herself moved, only to push him away because of their age difference, reality, and society's judgment. Only when Su Yong finally learns to let go and turns toward his own future does Wang Qing realize that the young man whose eyes once held only her has become someone she can't bear to lose. This time, she will cross the crowd and walk resolutely toward him.
This is a very high-quality urban romance with an age difference. The author uses delicate and restrained writing to vividly portray the sobriety and fragility of 33-year-old working woman Wang Qing and the enthusiasm and growth of 22-year-old Su Li. The story does not have the cliché of a suspended boss, but is rooted in the real workplace game and the pressure of life - project crisis, mother's serious illness, the shadow of the predecessor, worldly outlook, every hurdle is written in a solid and credible way. The most touching thing is the emotional progression of "problems do not equal conclusions" between the two: Wang Qing goes from rational defense to slowly loosening up, and Su Li goes from reckless pursuit to learning to wait with restraint, making this relationship spanning eleven years both realistic and tender. The image of hyacinth runs throughout, unobtrusive yet fragrant, just like the love itself.
