In real life, however, she was an orphan with no parents. As an adult, Tang Xiao's sweet looks and steady stream of sugary romance dramas made her a hot name in the industry. People called her "Miss White Peach." She had played couples with many top-tier stars. To avoid gossip, whenever the media asked, she would say that veteran actor Zhan Ye was her ideal type. But the production team loved stirring up trouble. They launched a new variety show that put Tang Xiao and Zhan Ye under the same roof. In private, Tang Xiao curled up in a corner of the sofa like a little kitten and said timidly in a soft voice, "Teacher Zhan, please don't take what I said seriously." Zhan Ye smiled gently and teased the young woman with a sidelong glance. "So you don't like me anymore?" Tang Xiao immediately sat up straight and answered brightly, "I do like you. The way a junior likes an elder." On the show, Zhan Ye was Tang Xiao's kind and gentle father figure. Off camera, though, he wanted to be the older man in her life. Meanwhile, Tang Xiao, who only wanted to focus on her career, was fretting over what gift to get him for Father's Day. #I see you as an elder, but you want to have my babies# #An old bull wants to graze on young grass# [Important notes] 1.

Li Zhizhi, a pampered heiress raised with every indulgence, has a head full of quirky ideas and can't stand being restrained. She uses every trick in the book to drive away countless private bodyguards, but, for once, agrees to let Jiang Yan, who has come to apply for the job, stay. She happily accepts his company and protection. Jiang Yan's resume is impressive. He graduated from Quanda, one of the country's top universities, with a degree in mechanical automation. He received special forces training during his military service and took part in United Nations peacekeeping exercises. He's the very definition of "security." Everyone assumes Li Zhizhi chose Jiang Yan because of his extensive experience, and even Jiang Yan himself believes it. But the young woman runs a hand over his solid bicep and stares straight at him. "I think your face looks even better than your resume." From then on, Li Zhizhi goes from being a little troublemaker to a sweet, clingy flirt, sticking to Jiang Yan all day under the pretense of being his employer, like a ruthless bandit in love. She takes his hand and asks, blinking her bright, shining eyes, "I can make your dreams come true and give you wealth and luxury. What can you give me?" Jiang Yan can't bring himself to meet Li Zhizhi's gaze. His back stiffens, and he answers with the forceful precision of a soldier responding to his commanding officer: "My life!" Li Zhizhi pouts. "I only want you." But Jiang Yan remains unmoved, never letting her teasing show on his face. Though he gives Li Zhizhi his all and cares for her attentively, he remains strictly professional. After piling up enough disappointment, Li Zhizhi accepts an arranged marriage between their families. At her engagement banquet in M Country, armed robbers storm the venue. Jiang Yan risks his life to protect her, but takes a bullet himself. Li Zhizhi cares for him day and night, staying by his side, though her words are anything but honest: "You've already been fired." Jiang Yan tightly grasps the young woman's hand, his gaze blazing. "I can't trust another man to look after you." This time, he lets out the feelings he has suppressed for so long, no longer holding himself back... Straight pairing / one-on-one romance / happy ending Theme: Falling in love with you heals you.
