At eighteen, just as Xia Luolin was eagerly preparing to enroll in a law school in the eastern United States, a train swept her away to nineteenth-century Europe.
In an era where she knew no one and women were forbidden to practice law, she could neither become a female lawyer nor even find a place to call home. Fortunately, a young gentleman who called himself Karl lent her a hundred marks to get back home.
Xia Luolin thought he was merely a university professor she'd happened to meet, until she heard his full name announced before a huge audience.
John Carl Friedrich Gauss.
"Miss Xia Luolin, dare you make a bet with me? Let's make that proud, cold genius fall in love. I want to see whether even God's favored child can lose control."
Born of a misunderstanding and fueled by a wager she thought righteous, Xia Luolin left a white rose in the genius's notebook as an act of revenge, her long skirt fluttering through the early summer woods.
"Dear Mr. Gauss, you will go down in history for the mathematics you love." The girl rose on tiptoe, her warm breath brushing his lips. "But I will leave my name behind, too, and it won't be insignificant."
After winning the wager, Xia Luolin vanished without a trace. At the same time, the wager fell into Karl's hands.
Overnight, the master ordered every white rose in the garden uprooted.
Two years later, after devouring the law of the entire European continent, Xia Luolin crossed the ocean to North America with a letter of recommendation. She became the first woman to graduate from a law school, ready to embark on a difficult but promising future, when an unexpected visitor appeared.
"Sir, you..." She stared at the man before her, at a loss for words.
His shirt collar was open, his eyes bloodshot. He had clearly been up for several nights.
"Tell me, Miss Xia Luolin, why am I not part of the future you want?"
She was the only error in the precise calculations of the Prince of Mathematics's life.
Yet she made him willing to pursue, adore, and lose himself in her.
"I will demonstrate the laws that govern the world."

Next book: As Night Falls, a 190 cm, lean and muscular, blond, blue-eyed hot nerd x a romantic and adorable Chinese girl.
After much effort, Zhi Ning finally got a spot in an American summer program. But the night she arrived, a robber stole her passport, wallet, and phone, leaving her penniless in a foreign country.
The consulate couldn't help. She was told that an expedited passport had to be processed in person at a consulate general over two thousand kilometers away, across three states.
But she didn't have a cent. She couldn't afford a hotel, a plane, or a train, and the deadline to register was ten days away. If she missed it, her place would be canceled. In despair, she walked into a convenience store. A blond, fair-skinned, blue-eyed man, one meter ninety tall, happened to pass by and saw the thin girl shivering in the cold. She had taken off her coat and was pleading with the clerk, asking whether she could trade it for two loaves of bread.
The clerk was about to call immigration and have her deported when the man heard the girl hastily say she was going to Washington.
A black old SUV stopped outside the convenience store for three seconds. The window rolled down. The wind tousled the man's blond hair, and lean muscles showed beneath his shirt. His expression was lazy, his eyes cool, and his English carried a German accent. "Austin to Washington. Eight days."
Zhi Ning looked up blankly, still unable to react.
He tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips, his tone casual, as if discussing a business deal. "I'm going there anyway. I'll drive. Hide when we pass checkpoints, and don't ask me about myself. If anything goes wrong, I'll leave you by the side of the road. Get in if you agree."
When the girl questioned him, the man couldn't be bothered to explain. He pulled an ID badge from the passenger seat and tossed it through the window.
A Princeton physics department doctoral ID, with the name "Cayzer" printed on it.
Cayzer. Zhi Ning instinctively read it aloud in Chinese.
Then she immediately turned and ran.
Come on. Never trust a stranger, especially a handsome foreign man.
But one night beside Route 66, the orange sunset in the distance vanished in an instant. Soaked to the skin in the rain, Zhi Ning wrapped herself in his coat and asked him, "Why are you helping me? Why is someone other than immigration tracking me? Who are you, really?"
"Promise me one thing, and I'll tell you."
"What?"
"Never get into a stranger's car again." He leaned closer, a smile playing on his lips, his breath brushing her cheek. "Except mine."
Using an old computer in a motel, Zhi Ning secretly searched his last name.
The moment the results appeared, she held her breath.
The Cayzer baronial family, an old European shipping and industrial powerhouse with businesses spanning Europe and America. The second son was named Sylvie Cayzer. A month ago, he had fled his family for "personal reasons" and disappeared.
The man in the photo wore a tailored suit and stood tall, his features cold and sharp. He looked exactly like the man beside her, the one driving a beat-up SUV and crouching on the ground with a wrench to fix the car.

Please [Lie down] Let good luck come to the heroine 😭 Is it possible that she was seriously injured and faked her death? 😭
I don't want to finish it either🙏The teacher's writing is really good. I'm happy that I saw this article when it was almost finished and I could read it in one sitting. At the same time, I'm sad that such a delicious article was actually finished by me in a few days. I am so greedy that I must read more. The heroine's career line is a breath of fresh air in the current situation where Western romance labels are all about Denki - I'm not saying that Denki is bad, it's just that I've seen a little too much. Even if you don't pursue power, if you set your own clear goals and grit your teeth and work hard for the goals, why can't you be considered a kind of great heroine? Although my major is far from law, I can feel that my wife is trying hard to make me, a legal illiterate, understand it🐶 And after many years of graduation, I will still be moved by the heroine's focus on study (even if the hero is the one who has delved deeper and left more names in a field, the sweat of a genius and the sweat of a mortal are of the same weight when separated from the body), so although it is very unethical to deceive the hero's feelings, when I watched it, I couldn't help but want to defend Lorraine. She just wanted to go to school. What's wrong with her😣 The social scene of the 19th century is so realistically written. I have rarely seen an article describing such a wide range of classes, from dukes to peasants and Chinese workers, spanning across continents. With such a broad background, social celebrities are also written with a real sense of reality (although I don't know much about Western history and I don't know if there is OOC), and there is no such thing as the Western romance novels I have read before where I can't tell who is who. The death of Uncle Schiller and the scenes of Mr. Humboldt eating in the cafeteria with students and teachers are really impressive. In fact, at first, I was a little worried that Lorraine recognized three idols in one day, and it would turn into a star-chasing article on camera. However, the subjectivity of the heroine and the vivid celebrities written by the author quickly broke this point. The original characters of the family are also well written (I'm already a bit short of words [loading]). The second brother and Sigrid are heartbreaking, but the eldest brother is so infuriating. There is a feeling of powerlessness that can't reach the phone [pick your head]. The growth line of the younger sister Meg and the many female characters who appear is also very beautiful. I like girls to post [cat head] I can feel that this book is not only a romance between Lorraine and the male protagonist, but also Lorraine's personal growth history. As a reader, I followed Lorraine to the 19th century. I watched her become a pioneer, leader, and innovator in the female legal industry in this era. She was a close relative and a close friend. She broke through the inner demons that she avoided in her previous life and became a lifelong lover. When I wrote the review, I felt that I was so happy to read this book. I also hope that Lorraine Carr and his wife will always be happy🙏 It's not that I don't comment on the part about the male protagonist Carl, but as someone who has basically passed the introduction to mathematics in college, I really don't dare. But the emotional lines are described very delicately, and the changes are not abrupt at all. The character of the male protagonist is a breath of fresh air among a group of dukes, counts or bankers in the same type of novels. When the little Duke interpreted the gap between him and the male protagonist, I really felt sorry for the ordinary person who grew up next to this genius and had a twisted mentality. At the same time, I thought in my heart, yes, yes, yes, after all, truth is eternal, and it is really difficult for an ordinary Duke (does he have an ordinary status?) To encounter a genius of this level. But what is shocking is that a genius like the male protagonist is actually very mature in how he handles things. He is neither a sharp genius like Charlotte Holmes nor a higher-level genius that people who are very smooth in handling things often think. If the former is like a devil and the latter is like an angel, Carl behaves more like a person in between. Even a superior genius is still vaguely downwardly compatible in socializing with friends and disciples. When facing Lorraine, he corrects his mistakes immediately (actually he and Dr. Sophie are not wrong, they are all the fault of the promiscuous person), and the male Delaman is full. And it can be seen that both of them have grown up in this relationship and are trying to find love for each other. The tug-of-war in Boston is really amazing. Although it is sad to watch, I read those chapters over and over again. Hate is the surface, love is the inside. Resentment and indifference must be used to cover up the heartache and love without overflowing, but at the same time respect the path chosen by the other party. In the first half, the male protagonist looked at me as a sapiosexual, but it was his tolerance in the second half that touched me the most. Even though he was the Archimedes of this era, and everything he wrote was regarded as truth, for Lorraine, he never took it upon himself to help her plan, give her guidance, and restrain her emotions to let her take the path she wanted to take. I wrote so much without realizing it. In fact, I didn't write a long review because it was not required for college majors. The writing style, wording, and contextual logic were returned to the teacher after the college entrance examination. I really didn't want to make a fool of myself. But I really like this article, but the circle is so cold that I can't even find a similar article, so I am so grateful that I can't repay it, so I will write my first long review in Jinjiang, hoping that the teacher will not dislike it. PS Because I couldn't bear to finish it, I actually thought about wishing the teacher to write a few more Western historical derivatives. However, Lorraine is unique and I didn't want to interfere with the teacher's writing plan, so I just made a wish (just wish). I am very grateful to the teacher for writing such good Lorraine and Carl, as well as these characters in the book with different personalities but most of them are kind-hearted.
To be honest, I don't quite understand how I can meet acquaintances everywhere, find love plots everywhere, and meet acquaintances when I'm frustrated at every turn. And won't you deal with the bad brother in the family? He almost sent the heroine to a mental hospital, but didn't the heroine take revenge on him?
Mom~, finally hehe 😭
It's coming to an end so soon. I hope there will be extra stories, such as these sweet stories about married life!
Is it possible that I got the wrong person? War is too cruel.
No, my daughter-in-law hasn't officially met her uncle yet 😭
I like this, finally 🎆
I was so satisfied and moved after watching it. Two people who love each other should love each other well 😭
It comes again and again, and some people are destined to be vigorous and inseparable. His behavior is too honest
