Updates promptly at 9 a.m. If it’s early, my finger slipped; if it’s late, I’m slacking off. I can promise one update every day. | A man who controls the rules vs. a woman who breaks through by force | Twelve-year age gap. The story begins when the heroine is eighteen. The hero has had several relationships and isn’t inexperienced. | A dual narrative of romance and modeling When Lin Mo enrolled in an art training school, she met the world-famous international supermodel Tuo Wu. He had a great physique, a handsome face, and impeccable taste, but his character left a lot to be desired. He was sharp-tongued, rude, fond of bending the rules and playing with people’s feelings. He brought Lin Mo plenty of hardship, but also showered her with affection. It didn’t matter. From beginning to end, all she wanted was a fast track to the top of her industry. Love would be nice, of course. But she could live without it. While filming a show, Tuo Wu met a strange woman. She had the kind of beauty that took your breath away at first glance, and a mind so dull you wanted to pick her up and use her to crack walnuts. The better he got to know her, the more Tuo Wu felt that she wasn’t cut out for the fashion industry, where everyone was clever as a fox. What annoyed him even more was the strange power she had over him: he couldn’t bear to leave her, couldn’t let her go, couldn’t forget her. To take back control of his own life, he abandoned her. But when she came charging back into his life, he finally realized that the power she held over him was love, something he had desperately searched for but never truly understood. 【Reader’s Guide: 1.
