The Cold CEO Breaks His Rules, and His Little Rose Is Soft Yet Wild

[Scheming, seductive little enchantress VS pure-hearted, wicked older man] + [12-year age gap] + [both leads are chaste and each other's first love] + [powerful man humbles himself to win her back] + [sweet romance] + [desire before love] + [older man takes the lead] + [intense push and pull] + [happy ending] Xu Tang has always believed that men are creatures you can sleep with, but never love. So when she makes the first move on Zhou Yuchen, the man at the top of Lanzhou City's pyramid, she lays down the rules in no uncertain terms: no feelings, no checking up on each other, no interference in each other's lives, and they can part ways amicably at any time. The man agrees nonchalantly. “Fine.” Everyone in Lanzhou City thinks that Zhou Yuchen, the thirty-seven-year-old head of a hundred-billion-yuan investment empire, is detached from desire and ruthless in his methods, an untouchable beauty on a lofty peak. But only Xu Tang knows how domineering and outrageous this mature, restrained older man can be in private. Even more unbelievable, this seemingly confident king of finance has never been in a relationship in his thirty-seven years. She gets both his first kiss and his first time! Later, Xu Tang realizes she's fallen for him. Terrified, she packs her bags and runs away in the middle of the night, just as their agreement allows. The usually composed man in power loses his mind completely. Zhou Yuchen cancels a meeting worth a hundred billion, corners her at her door in the pouring rain, and pulls her into his arms, eyes bloodshot and voice hoarse: “You made the rules, but I'm the only one who gets to call it off.” “Xu Tang, we don't have to talk about love. Just come home with me tonight.”
