A bookish girl × an older businessman, both sides overcome their secret love, clear the obstacles to marriage, and the whole story has a happy ending without abuse, and comes with two post-marriage extras.
Wen Zhi, a seventeen-year-old scholarly girl, is a day student at No. 2 Middle School in Zhixi County. Her parents are high school literature and history teachers, and her temperament is as quiet as an unbloomed gardenia.
Lu Yan, a 23-year-old from an antique family, is responsible for family marriage. His elders arrange a blind date for Lin Shuyao, the daughter of a rich calligraphy and painting family.
They met for the first time on the weekend when he was a guest. In the Yanzhou business district, which was full of calculations, he bumped into a purely utilitarian girl.
The six-year age gap, disparity in family status, forced marriage by elders, and direct confessions from teenagers of the same age are all obstacles.
He deliberately stayed dormant and restrained, waiting quietly for her to take the college entrance examination and survive the cold years; he meditated for a moment, just to wait for the gardenia to bloom, leaving aside the worldly considerations and running for the true heart.
The subplot features happy enemies Lu Zhixia & Shen Yu, the whole story is a gentle and non-evil villain, and everyone has a happy ending.
Purpose: stick to one's heart and resist the marriage of interests; restrain secret love and grow in both directions; a sincere and equal view of love despite the gap in family status.
