Thank you!] ● A fiercely proud woman who never bows her head × a wild, upright younger man with a flirtatious streak ● Journalist × SWAT officer ● Marriage first, love later │ older woman and younger man │ two-year age gap - Pressured by their elders, Shen Qingdai and He Yan reached an understanding: after getting married, they would keep up a harmonious front. Before long, Shen Qingdai sensed something was off. The man seemed to have a problem. Every now and then, he'd cast a line in her direction. But she wouldn't bite. Later, Shen Qingdai was unexpectedly taken hostage. A sniper's bullet grazed her left ear and killed the criminal, leaving a streak of blood just beside her ear piercing. He Yan made his way through the crowd and pulled her into his arms, then brushed a kiss against her ear. His scorching breath lingered on her skin, restrained and controlled, yet tender and protective. Suddenly, she was willing to take the bait. - He Yan was famous on his team for his style: wild and fierce. He was like an eternal flame that only burned hotter, drawing everyone's eyes while keeping them at a respectful distance. Almost no young woman dared to confess her feelings to him in person, and he wasn't interested in anyone either. His teammates joked that Captain He would have to wait until he was old enough for a retirement home to find a wife. Then, during the New Year's countdown, they unexpectedly saw Captain He being interviewed on the street by Reporter Shen. Shen Qingdai held out her microphone, all business. “The new year starts in ten minutes. Is there anything you'd like to say?” “I want to ask my wife something.” He Yan's burning gaze passed over the camera and landed squarely on her face, like a hook. “You've been away on a work trip for a month. When are you coming home?” *The female lead is fiercely independent; the male lead can be both tough and yielding. *This is not a wealthy-family romance. *Also known as The Love Story of a Civil Servant and a Public-Institution Employee, My Husband with a Government Job, and Practicing My Seduction Skills Every Day to Win My Wife. *Enjoy! *Blurb revised on 2022.04.06 //// Theme: Love and light
