Submissive Beneath Her Skirts [Marriage Before Love]

Marriage first, love later / Age gap / The aloof beauty falls from her pedestal / An older, guiding lover

Ji Yanxiu was a renowned professor at Jing University, famous as an untouchable beauty. Born into an illustrious family, he devoted himself to academic research. With his rimless glasses, white shirt, and black suit, he was refined and abstinent, his cool, exceptional presence too intimidating for anyone to profane.

Yun Liao was a wealthy heiress from Beijing's elite circles, with fair skin, stunning features, bright eyes, and a slender waist. Her beauty was vivid and bold. She moved among countless admirers without letting any of them get close, like a wildcat that never stayed home.

The two were worlds apart.

No one would ever have connected them.

At a charity auction, a red mermaid gown traced the woman's graceful curves. After a few drinks, Yun Liao rested her flushed cheek in her hand, her eyes alluring as she chatted and flirted with the man beside her.

Ji Yanxiu passed by, his reserved gaze fixed unwaveringly on her.

His friend teased him, "Professor Ji, this is exactly the kind of woman you can't stand, isn't it?"

No one knew what happened behind closed doors.

Warm, orange light fell on the girl's peaceful face as she slept off her drunkenness. Ji Yanxiu took off his refined, elegant suit jacket and lay down gently beside her, unsure what to do with her.

In the end, all he did was kiss the sparkling tear from the corner of her eye.

His voice was gentle and deep, sounding like both a concession and a plea.

"Mrs. Ji, could you focus on just one person?"

[Bonus Scene]

During a livestreamed lecture,

a young woman wrapped in a silk robe suddenly appeared behind the impeccably dressed man, whose air was both dignified and stern.

She called out sleepily, "Professor Ji."

Her voice was sweet and bewitching, slightly hoarse from just waking up.

The whole room erupted.

Everyone watched as their usually dignified and self-possessed Professor Ji immediately turned off the camera and, for the first time, softly coaxed her with tender affection. "Be good. Go back to your room first. I'll be there in a little while."
