    [A seemingly sweet but actually aloof female academic genius × A wolf-dog type of academic genius who is only passionate towards the female lead] Ling Yuan appears incredibly cold on the surface, but when he meets Chi Yu, he transforms into a "wife-obsessed maniac"—from their first meeting where they mistake each other for each other, to his subsequent infiltration of every aspect of her life, his main theme being "I'm pursuing you, I'm pursuing you, I'm pursuing you, pursuing you, pursuing you, pursuing you!" The key point is! He's incredibly proactive in pursuing her! Knowing she misunderstands his sexuality, he deliberately breaks down boundaries little by little, making her understand: "I'm only passionate towards you because—I fell in love with you at first sight!" The original title is "Admiring the Fish from the Abyss is Not as Good as Pursuing Her," and the short drama "Being Proposed to by a Cold Academic Genius" has already aired. The novel has even more direct and memorable scenes of him pursuing his wife! From campus to the rest of their lives, this mutual pursuit between academic geniuses is sweet, inspiring, and incredibly heartwarming! ✨
