Laid-back slacker with a dirty mind but no nerve x gentle, refined, irresistible heartthrob
Freelance writer x rich-family male model
Love at first sight / dreams come true / the male lead pampers her without limits.
Before graduating from college, Xia Zhiyu once came across a travel recommendation. Beneath Britain's gloomy skies, a private garden seemed to stand apart from the world.
That year, Xia Zhiyu didn't hesitate to apply for a visa to Britain.
In the steady drizzle, she stood beneath her umbrella outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of a private estate, peering inside. She never expected to see a man in a white dressing gown descend the spiral staircase.
He had pale golden hair and deep green eyes. His smile was dazzling enough to captivate the world.
She thought he looked like an aristocratic vampire living in a castle, untouched by worldly concerns.
The next day, while watching a fashion show, she spotted that same familiar yet unfamiliar figure outside the venue: a white shirt, dark tie, long coat, golden hair, green eyes, and the face of a noble prince.
His name was Adela Harrington. A darling of London's upper circles, he was of mixed British and French heritage, a much-adored, breathtaking male model in the fashion world, and the son of the founder of a prestigious luxury fashion brand.
When her trip ended, Xia Zhiyu returned home reluctantly. Not long after she landed, she heard that a luxury brand was planning to expand into China. Seeing a familiar name, she paid closer attention.
The brand's new collection was a line of 99 wedding dresses, each designed by its founder's son, Adela Harrington, as a declaration of love for the world.
No one knew that on a short trip, she had met the love of her life.
He indulged her unrealistic fantasies without hesitation, cherishing her with gentle devotion.
Adela kept his passionate feelings hidden, afraid that confessing would startle the girl from the East. He quietly immersed himself in Eastern culture, offering her his true heart.
Adela has knelt only three times in his life: the first time before his parents, when he gave up his citizenship to immigrate to China for Xia Zhiyu; the second time when he proposed to her; and the third time at their wedding.
No one knows that I once harbored the darkest, most passionate fantasies about someone. I stumbled forward, carefully and uncertainly, until at last I plucked the moon from the sky and held it in my arms.

Reading notes:
* Love at first sight, adult romance. The age gap is under ten years.
* The male lead really is a foreigner. Just say the language is international Chinese, and please don't compare this to real life.
* This is fiction, so please don't compare it to real life.
* The author is firmly committed to chaste male leads. Although the male lead is a foreigner, he has no romantic history whatsoever: no ex-girlfriends, female rivals, fiances, or lost loves. THIS IS IMPORTANT. Please don't start arguments about it.
Theme: Love means loyalty
