They Are Eight Years Apart

Su Nian'an is a food blogger who reviews restaurants, with more than ten million followers. But behind her glamorous public image, she is trapped in the pain of her family of origin.

Sensitive, insecure, and used to retreating, she has seen her first few relationships fall apart because she struggles both to love and to let herself be loved. She thought she'd spend her life with her career as her companion, but then a family push to get married led her to the right person.

Just as his name suggests, Zhou Zhiguang brings light into Su Nian'an's life. He is young, steady, determined, and gentle. She can't push him away or scare him off.

At first, Su Nian'an insists, "Between us, it's only about money."

Zhou Zhiguang is hurt, but quietly agrees. His actions, little by little, chip away at her defenses. He faces her past wounds with her and helps her embrace the insecure little girl hiding in a corner of her childhood. Slowly, he helps her become someone who can finally relax and feel at ease.

Just as her career takes off, a rival deliberately frames her.

Online rumors spread everywhere. Insults, razor blades, and threatening letters arrive one after another. She hits rock bottom, but he stays by her side every step of the way, protecting her, finding the truth, calming the storm, and becoming her strongest shield.

He shows up immediately to stand up for her, helping flowers bloom across her barren land. Their hearts are drawn to each other, and their feelings quietly flourish.

But when Zhou Zhiguang confesses his love, the anxiety caused by their age gap makes Su Nian'an pull away again.

Zhou Zhiguang doesn't leave. He firmly takes her hand and patiently guides her, placing all the security she could want right before her:

"You're wonderful, Sis. You're the one I've always loved."

This time, the little girl who once stood crying helplessly in a corner finally finds the light meant for her.

She thought theirs would be a relationship where money changed hands and nothing more. Who could have known that Su Nian'an would find the salvation of her life?

This is mainly an everyday-life story, with gentle sweetness as its main flavor~
