Twenty years ago, Lin Ranqing followed his mother across the seas and returned to his ancestral home.
Everyone in Jincheng's upper circles knew of him: the son of a famous opera singer, blessed with a handsome face.
Too bad he was an illegitimate child born to a low-class woman, unfit to sit at the table.
As he grew up, the young man became even more beautiful.
One glance, one soft word, and countless people would flock to him.
Even a friend who had known him for years laid his heart bare and swore he loved him.
Yet Lin Ranqing was interested in none of them. He was so detached from desire that he hardly seemed human.
No one knew that the carefully tended greenhouse he kept contained ten flowerpots, arranged in perfect order.
One pot each year, never late.
Zheng Tingsheng was the man everyone in Jincheng's upper circles looked to for direction.
Whenever he showed up, he was the center of attention and always took the seat of honor.
Others went to great lengths to figure out what he liked and curry favor with him.
But he had few interests.
The only thing anyone had heard was that at the last auction, Zheng Tingsheng had spent a fortune on a pot of irises.
Overnight, flowers became the height of luxury in Jincheng.
No one knew why Zheng Tingsheng liked irises, and no one knew that Lin Ranqing had a greenhouse full of them.
Until one New Year's cover of an entertainment magazine, when paparazzi finally got a blurry photo after staking out the place for more than ten hours.
A tall man had his bright, beautiful lover wrapped in his coat.
They sat together on a mountain-top walkway, watching fireworks light up the whole city.
*
When the rumor hit the papers, everyone said Lin Ranqing was just like his mother: he'd climbed his way up by latching on to someone powerful.
But an interview video that came out the same day proved them all wrong.
The man's stern face was softened by a rare warmth, like snow melting away.
"My partner is shy, so I haven't made our relationship public until now."
He curled his lips into a smile. "I was the one who pursued him for a long time. Please help me out, everyone, and don't make him angry. I'll have to sweet-talk him again."
A few notes:
1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, happy ending.
2. The beloved is a White Moonlight who does not die young, and he's in great health!
3. A flirtatious, alluring beloved who doesn't realize he's doing it x a devoted, fatherly pursuer whose old heart finally catches fire.
4. I don't know what it means to be a fan of the pursuer or the beloved. I only know that they're both my darlings, and both deserve to be loved.

A little preview of my upcoming novel, The Straightforward Man Gets the Wrong Flirtation Playbook. Please add it to your favorites if you like it!
The youngest daughter of the Huo family died in a car accident, leaving behind a husband she'd never shown to anyone.
Everyone knew this husband was just a front for his wife's wild ways. He had no idea how many times she'd cheated on him and had become the laughingstock of the whole city.
On the day of the funeral, Qiu Yinglian finally appeared. Facing his wife's coffin, he wept, his body unsteady.
A hand wrapped around his shoulders and held him up.
"Brother-in-law, my condolences."
*
After his wife died, Qiu Yinglian moved into the Huo household.
He was forced to live with Huo Qihan, the fearsome member of the Huo family.
People told him that Huo Qihan had taken power at twenty, was ruthless, and couldn't stand the slightest flaw. It wouldn't be long before he was thrown out of the house.
Qiu Yinglian: "Oh."
Busybody: "Don't you have anything to say?"
Qiu Yinglian gently reminded him, "I don't. If you have anything else to say, you might want to hurry. Mr. Huo is waiting for me."
*
Qiu Yinglian had known since childhood that he was slow-witted, mild-mannered, and not good with words.
But he knew the difference between good and bad.
Someone who took him aside to offer advice was not necessarily a good person. And Huo Qihan, who kept everyone at a distance, was not necessarily a bad person.
He trusted only what his own eyes could see.
Big Brother Huo stood up for him, took care of every detail of his life, taught him how to work step by step, and helped him build confidence.
He believed that Big Brother Huo couldn't be the notorious monster everyone else described.
Big Brother Huo must have kissed him for his own good too...
Qiu Yinglian: Wait!
This isn't right!
This isn't how things are supposed to go!
*
Huo Qihan wasn't close to his half-sister.
She had died, and he had only come to make an appearance. He hadn't expected to see his convenient brother-in-law there.
The young man wore a solemn expression, looking at the portrait as if gazing up at a god.
For the first time in his life, Huo Qihan envied a sister he had barely met.
She'd been surrounded by scandal while alive, yet after her death, someone still missed her so desperately...
Watching the young man's grief-stricken face, the man gave a self-mocking laugh.
He wondered if anyone would cry for him when he died.
*
But when Huo Qihan finally held the man who had fought back tears in the funeral hall in his arms,
all he could think was:
How could he possibly bear to make such an honest man cry? He couldn't even bear to see him hurt.
Theme: Keep striving, even when life gets hard
I feel like this is a book that is delayed by the name)) Personally I think
A few hundred words in the introduction cannot summarize that Lin Sheng and Zheng Sheng finally came together after more than two years of hard work. No, maybe it is inappropriate to say that. I think they have never been separated.
Ran Qing's past has lasted for twenty years. He was burdened with guilt and responsibility for his mother. He was trapped in the Lin family and his own heart. Fortunately, he met Zheng Tingsheng.
But the Lin family was still there, and his mother was not free yet, so he couldn't love her. He worked step by step, tried his best, and completed his revenge with his own hands, but he lost his mother forever) Mr. Lin was really hateful, and he took away the things he cherished most.
How should I put it, after the death of his mother and the decline of the Lin family, Ran Qing chose to leave. In fact, I didn't expect it at first. When everything fell into place, he should be happy with the one he loved. But when he turned around and thought about it, this was him. He didn't want to drag down his lover, and his lover didn't want to trap him. He took his mother to see the beauty of the world alone. Fortunately, they met again without parting.
Mr. Zheng is not his parents' first choice. In the past thirty years, he has never felt the love of his parents. Fortunately, Ran Qingqing has come to love him. He will always be Lin Ranqing's first choice.
Becoming a pen pal, Zheng Tingsheng received Lin Sheng's letter. It was the origin. Ten pots of iris were the continuation and testimony of fate. Zheng Sheng and Lin Sheng would be happy forever.
I feel that I have spoiled a lot, but the specific story and characters can only be understood after reading it. This is the first time I am writing a long review)) I still feel that I have not written the feeling I wanted to express. Please forgive me if it is not good.
The story is not long. Both Lin Sheng and Zheng Sheng are good people and both deserve to be loved.
Flowed out? What leaked out? Why can't I understand [shy][dog head]
So who introduced him?
Behind every successful man there is a successful man (bushi)
Very sweet and pretty, I like it
Author, I love you so much! ! It's really well written!
Baby, your writing is really great! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Finished spreading flowers! This book is really good, not only the love between Zheng and Qing, but also their respect for each other. They bumped into each other and were separated for two years, but in the end they came together
A warm and delicate article, a sweet little novel delayed by the name~ The protagonist's strengths and weaknesses are also handled very well. It feels like the two of them support each other in their love career rather than being dependent on each other.
