An Older Husband and a Younger Wife

Blurb:

Two top-tier wealthy families in Hong Kong | Fifteen-year age gap | Daddy falls from his pedestal | Devoted puppy after marriage | A love that grows over time

Gorgeous, pampered socialite × guiding, fatherly husband

Independent sculptor × jewelry company CEO

22 × 37 (their ages when they marry)

Tang Yichen and Sun Youmei meet at a café on a London street.

She's fifteen; he's thirty.

She skips school on a whim; he's about to enter an arranged marriage.

Three years later, his intended's affections shift elsewhere, and Tang Yichen divorces her, regaining his freedom.

Eighteen-year-old Sun Youmei reappears, drawing closer step by step and deliberately tempting him.

She wants him to fall for her, to lower his head, to choose to enter her life of his own accord.

Tang Yichen has never been a virtuous man, but this little rose is the one person who repeatedly makes him go against his nature.

She says she wants to date, so he plays along with her little game of love.

She says she likes being favored, so he makes an exception for her in everything.

He only means to have a taste, but as they spend more time together, he falls for her, little by little.

After marriage, he falls completely, body and soul molded into the most obedient version of himself, the one she likes best.

One stretch of his wife's hand and he knows to embrace her; one step closer and he knows to kiss her.

Before the wedding, all of Sun Youmei's friends advise her, “A man like Tang Yichen is cold-hearted, hard-headed, and always calculating. You can't beat him at his own game.”

Only she knows that after they marry, Tang Yichen willingly lets her break his pride, becoming her most loyal servant. She claims his heart and body alike.

(The second book in the Tang family's Hong Kong trilogy.)

[Reader's Guide]

1. The story starts when the heroine is 21. The story of her meeting and falling in love with the hero at ages 15 to 20 is mostly told in the following chapters and extras of "Hong Kong Beauty", available next door: 12, 9, 137, 138, 150, 151, 152, 155, 159, 165, 167, 193, 194, and all the extras.

It's about 100,000 characters long, so I highly recommend reading it as a short novella.

2. The heroine meets the hero at 15, starts dating him at 18, and marries him at 22.

3. The heroine only becomes intimate with the hero after turning 18.

4. The hero isn't perfect. He's divorced, calculating, and possessive. Please read with care if those traits bother you.

5. Disclaimer: This story is entirely fictional. All characters, places, organizations, groups, plotlines, and statements are invented for the purposes of this work. Nothing is intended to refer to or encourage any real-world behavior. Please read with discretion and comment responsibly.

Theme: The beauty of life lies in perseverance and hard work, just as a rose blooms despite its thorns.
