Older woman-younger man | Four-year age gap | An unconscious flirt and a mad dog in an all-out showdown

The professions are fictionalized, and the characters aren't based on real people

Qin Aotian is the crown prince of Beijing's elite. Women surround him, and he's known as a legendary playboy.

But no one knows that in private, he stays out of trouble, is fastidious about relationships, and desperately craves love.

So he kept changing the women around him, until he met Tong Xiangshan, a married woman.

Tong Xiangshan works as a waitress at a bar. One day, her coworker Xiao Wei dragged her to a private cinema.

Xiao Wei said the man on the sofa was the crown prince of Beijing's elite!

Before they'd even finished watching the film, Xiao Wei suddenly got a stomachache and ran to the bathroom.

Tong Xiangshan was left waiting and waiting. With no other choice, she draped a blanket over her wrist, went in, and covered the VIP with it.

It was diligent service, but the crown prince took it as a deliberate attempt to get close to him and seduce him.

Then, when she turned and left, Qin Aotian thought she was playing hard to get.

Qin Aotian ordered drinks in a private room, and Tong Xiangshan carried them in.

In front of everyone, Qin Aotian stepped aside to make room for her. Tong Xiangshan carried the drinks over to the table in front of him.

Just as she reached him, she felt a faint touch against her calf.

She instinctively looked down. Qin Aotian's black leather shoe was pressed against her leg.

The gleaming toe of his shoe teased her with a barely perceptible, suggestive rub, slowly moving up from her ankle.

She froze. A flush of heat spread from her neck to her cheeks, and she had to feign composure. She set the drinks down and immediately made her escape.

Tong Xiangshan's marriage was a stagnant pool. When she decided to ask her husband, Lai Yuan, for a divorce, she couldn't understand why he refused to agree.

In the end, Tong Xiangshan had no choice but to rent a room at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Who would have thought that the notorious playboy, the crown prince of Beijing's elite, would show up at her room?

Tong Xiangshan couldn't understand it. She'd never had anything to do with him, yet Qin Aotian had come looking for her himself.

Qin Aotian squeezed through the doorway, reached out with his long arm to wrap it tightly around her waist, then buried his face in the hollow of her shoulder, crazily breathing in her faint, sweet scent.

Where Tong Xiangshan couldn't see, his face twisted with manic obsession.

Tong Xiangshan: How did you know I was here?

Qin Aotian: Big sister, I knew you wouldn't just abandon me.

Qin Aotian: Big sister, please look at me. You can't go see your husband.

Tong Xiangshan: But I'm married!

Qin Aotian: Then divorce him, and stay with me from now on, okay?

Tong Xiangshan: ...

Qin Aotian: Why can't you get divorced?

He raised his head and looked at her with adoration that had driven him out of his mind. "It's okay, big sister. I'll help you."

He'd just beat up her husband. Then big sister would be his forever.

Each whisper and each sob seemed to say:

Tong Xiangshan, you were the one who provoked me first.

So you're responsible for me for the rest of your life.

Reader's guide:

1. No character cheats, and there are no mistresses.

2. The male supporting character is emotionally abusive, but does not touch the female lead. (The blurb isn't allowed to include that kind of term.)

3. The female lead is unhappy in her marriage. Neither she nor her husband can get a divorce because of their parents' traditional beliefs.

4. The female lead is the apple of her parents' eye and a well-behaved daughter, but she can't resist their control over her marriage. Her parents generally believe divorce is immoral.

5. Before and after getting together with the male lead, the female lead makes sure to handle the divorce proceedings with her husband.

6. Older woman-younger man romance. The male lead is four years younger than the female lead.
