Late Autumn

Jian Yan considered herself an ordinary college student, going back and forth between part-time work and classes. But one afternoon, she did something out of the ordinary.

She married a woman whose name she hadn't even learned yet, and they got two little red certificates.

"!!!"

Someone asked Jian Yan, "Senior, did you get married just to earn credits?"

Jian Yan pulled out a stack of certificates and awards. "I'm not desperate enough to do that."

The man persisted, unwilling to give up. "Then why?"

Jian Yan smiled sweetly. "Because her desserts are delicious." Delicious enough that I want to eat them for the rest of my life.

"..."

At twenty, Wen Yiqiu gave everything for love, only for it to become a shadow she couldn't escape. After going around in circles, all she wanted was to stay by her dessert shop and never touch what was forbidden again.

Perhaps heaven took pity on her and sent a girl to her side.

"Sister Wen, can I marry you?"

Wen Yiqiu couldn't quite remember what she'd been thinking at the time. She only remembered her one-word answer:

"Yes."

Two people, both battered by life, made a vow one afternoon that would take a lifetime to fulfill.

Later, Wen Yiqiu discovered that Jian Yan was even sweeter than dessert.

A sweet little story about two people saving each other.

Gentle, refined dessert shop owner with a secret identity × solitary, steadfast college student

Little tips:

1. Older seme, nine-year age gap. Some angst and some sweetness, with a lighthearted tone.

2. The older lead had a previous relationship. Both are each other's only partners, and there's a happy ending.

3. The reason they get married is a little melodramatic. Don't try it at home.
