Sweet, clear-eyed illustrator x self-disciplined physics professor
The old flame rekindles / The second male lead wins / A long-planned scheme / Marriage before love
-
After her breakup, Yu Li went on a blind date on her older sister's behalf and met Zhou Yanjing.
A professor at Jing University, someone everyone held in awe.
More importantly, he was her scumbag ex's advisor.
The man before her was dressed in a suit, aloof and distant. Though he wore a hearing aid in his left ear, he still seemed utterly out of reach.
Meeting his indifferent gaze, her heart stirred.
"Professor, would you marry me?"

What's at the top of Jing University's must-eat list?
Zhou Yanjing's name would surely be near the top.
Students at Jing University said Professor Zhou was ascetic, aloof, and distant from women, a model of restraint and propriety.
Surely no one in the world could be worthy of this unattainable beauty.
Even Yu Li thought a man like Zhou Yanjing could never fall in love with her. Their marriage was just an act, nothing more.
Until one day, her scumbag ex came looking for her.
That night, when Yu Li returned home, the man grabbed her and dragged her into the darkness.
A hot tear fell on Yu Li's shoulder, making her shiver.
In the dim light, before she could make out his face, the man's forceful kiss landed, heavy with possessiveness.
Her mind fogged over as he swept her into his arms. Startled, she hurriedly begged him to stop.
But then the man in front of her calmly removed the hearing aid from his left ear, his deep gaze fixed on her.
"Baby, I can't hear you."
[Little Scene]
One day, Yu Li accidentally opened Zhou Yanjing's browser. The search history read:
"What should I do if my wife keeps complaining to her friends that I'm too old?"
"How can I make my wife fall in love with me?"
"How should a twenty-eight-year-old man take care of himself?"
"How do I keep things fresh between husband and wife?"
