After falling in love with a younger and much less successful man, can Yiwen convince herself and her parents to accept him into their wealthy family? ***** When Yiwen Wang suddenly finds herself 30 and single, she lets her well-meaning best friend talk her into a blind date with the handsome Zi'an Li. And not only is he plucked straight out of a movie screen, his witty banter over dinner also convinces Yiwen he's exactly the type to make her toes curl. Yet, by some wicked twist of fate, he's five years younger than her and has no house, car, or stable, high-paying job. So how is she ever going to convince herself and her parents that he's the right choice? Especially when her new, attractive boss makes it very clear that he's interested in her?

𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐡𝐢 𝐉𝐢𝐮 𝐘𝐮𝐚𝐧 The family was suddenly struck by misfortune, and Qíng Yě fell like a brilliant meteor from the bustling capital to a small, remote county town. From then on, she became the light that illuminated the dull, lifeless Zházhā Tíng, and along the way, she encountered the unexpected twists of her life. For Xíng Wǔ, the turning point of his life came on a morning when the yellow sand swirled through the air, and he met Qíng Yě, who seemed completely out of place in this world. The two of them shared a room, separated only by a thin curtain, as though they existed in two different realms-he on one side, absorbed in his video games, while she on the other side, desperately studying. When Qíng Yě first arrived here, she was absolutely certain that she wouldn't stay for anyone, that she would leave this place behind. But after meeting Xíng Wǔ, she said with unshakable determination: "I will pull him onto a different path."
