   🍃①A clear-headed and gentle female lead VS a rigid, fatherly male lead. Her sister ran away from her arranged marriage, and Jiang Ni, following her father's wishes, married her future brother-in-law. He was the head of the Zhou family, a top-tier wealthy family in Beijing, rumored to be a workaholic with a cold and aloof demeanor. On their first day of marriage, he went on a business trip, much to the dismay of her friend who bluntly said she had become a nun after marriage. Jiang Ni, however, found it perfectly suited to her; her husband was incredibly wealthy and loved to travel. She carefully played the role of Mrs. Zhou, treating her husband as a business partner, believing herself to be doing a perfect job. Until that muddy, snowy night, the usually composed and proper man trapped her by the floor-to-ceiling window, his sweat-dampened hair brushing against his temples, his voice betraying his lack of composure.

But when people drink, their emotions are easily heightened, and in her case, she became incredibly audacious. She stood in the elevator, watching the doors about to close, when a slender, pale hand reached out and blocked the elevator. "Excuse me, please wait a moment." A magnetic voice reached her ears. Wen Song looked up, and as the elevator doors opened, her eyes met those of the man entering.

    [Guiding Couple + Marriage Before Love + Age Gap + Sweet Romance] [Gentle and Restrained Guide VS Delicate and Tsundere Little Bitter Melon] Jiang Tian, ​​a beautiful and capable engineering whiz at Haicheng University, received numerous scholarships from her freshman to junior year. She was the "other people's child" in the eyes of parents, a capable assistant to teachers, and some even dubbed her junior year "Jiang Tian Era." They only saw her "glamorous" surface, unaware of her inner inferiority complex, sensitivity, and constant compromise. Her parents' supposed "fairness" was a heavy burden on Jiang Tian, ​​making her feel neither warmth nor breathlessness. She knew better than anyone that her parents' reputation and image were far more important than her, but what could she do? No matter how high she flew, she could never escape the "cage" that imprisoned her. Until that night, she encountered a ray of light that belonged only to her—a light that was strong, warm, and broke through the walls she had built. She was no longer a little bitter melon, but candy, sweet. I was like a weak straw, encountering many winds that tried to knock me down. But from that year on, a tree slowly approached me. It didn't use its massive branches to shelter me from the wind and rain, but instead gently taught me how to take root, how to grow strong, how to mature. I knew that year, the wind stopped. Are you asking about what happened next? Later, we became two trees standing side by side, rooted in each other, supporting each other as we grew. If cold winds still blow against me, I won't be blown down.
