Love Has No Cure

Reader’s guide [Older love interest comes with a fiancée, but the two have never shared any intimate moments. Not any at all! Please don’t read if this bothers you!] [Not a professional, but I’ll do my best to make it as complete as possible. Please don’t read if this bothers you!] Thirty-two-year-old Su Qingyue returns from studying abroad and joins a tiny law firm in Taining City that can’t even break into the top thirty. Su Qingyue boldly declares, “Wherever I am, that’s where the clients will be.” Twenty-three-year-old Gu Anhe has just finished the daily grind of debating on campus. She’s curled up at home watching dramas when she suddenly hears her roommate, Song Yinuo, shout, “My goddess is coming back!” Gu Anhe turns her head and takes one look. “Wow, a gorgeous older woman. I like her.” Nine-year-old Su Qingyue comes home from school to find her parents preparing to leave with a pile of formula and diapers. Before she can even put down her schoolbag, they take her to the hospital, where she sees a wrinkly little baby. Su Qingyue: “Mom, Dad, she’s so ugly.” Baby Gu Anhe: “You’re ugly.” Su’s father: “Yueyue, she’s your little niece.” Su Qingyue: “She’s still not pretty.” When Su Qingyue is eighteen, the Su family falls from grace overnight. At the airport, nine-year-old Gu Anhe clings tightly to Su Qingyue’s leg. Gu Anhe: “Auntie, you’ll come back, right?” Su Qingyue crouches down to meet her little niece’s eyes. “I’ll be back soon.” Gu Anhe remembers those words for fourteen years. After fourteen years apart, Su Qingyue has become the “Unbeatable War God.” Gu Anhe has grown from a little dumpling into a beautiful young woman. Su Qingyue: “The little one’s so pretty.” Gu Anhe: “Auntie’s pretty, too.” After testing the waters time and again, Gu Anhe circles around Su Qingyue like a little puppy. Gu Anhe gathers her courage and confesses, only to be coldly rejected by Attorney Su. Su Qingyue: “I’m your aunt!” Gu Anhe grins. “We’re not blood-related.” Su Qingyue stubbornly resists, but she can’t withstand the young woman’s passionate pursuit. Clothes lie scattered across the office floor; Su Qingyue is marked over and over, and they spend a sleepless night tangled together. Su Qingyue walks out of the office, holding her aching waist, her legs trembling. Gu Anhe lounges against the headboard, wrapped in a blanket and looking thoroughly satisfied. “Should I call you Auntie or girlfriend?” Coming soon: The Teacher Isn’t Behaving Shen Zhixu first meets Lin Yan in the Chinese teachers’ office. The eighteen-year-old girl is carrying a stack of exercise books and smiling as she sets a cup of chrysanthemum tea on her desk. At the time, Shen Zhixu has just been promoted to director of student affairs and made homeroom teacher of the repeat-year class. Lin Yan is one of her students. Shen Zhixu can’t understand why this girl, who scored over 600 on the entrance exam, chose to repeat the year. Lin Yan is a top student in her class, always ranking in the top ten of her grade. She’s beautiful, her white school uniform is always spotless, and her hair is always tied in a neat high ponytail. She smiles at everyone. The first time Lin Yan sees Shen Zhixu standing at the lectern, she can’t take her eyes off her. She has never met such a gentle teacher, with such a charming smile, and it gives her a strange idea. At the teachers’ appreciation banquet after the college entrance exams, Shen Zhixu gets drunk. Lin Yan takes her home and, in the dim light, secretly kisses her. Lin Yan: “Teacher Shen smells so good.” Shen Zhixu’s thoughts: I don’t dare open my eyes. It must be a hallucination. College life is always full of excitement. One suitor after another appears around Lin Yan, but the one she can’t stop thinking about is still Teacher Shen. So she starts making excuses to bump into her. A typhoon hits, and Shen Zhixu is soaked through. She’s just entering the stairwell when a shadow startles her. Lin Yan is shivering, sitting pitifully outside her apartment. Drenched puppy Lin Yan: “Teacher, please let me stay.” Shen Zhixu looks at the see-through white T-shirt, swallows, then pointedly looks away and opens the door. Guilty Teacher Shen: “Come in before you catch a cold.” The next day, Teacher Shen lies weakly in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. That clingy puppy act was a lie. She’s a big bad wolf in sheep’s clothing! Theme: You protect justice, and I’ll protect you.
