In romance novels, the female protagonist was much older than the male protagonist, which was usually a plot arrangement. It could highlight the maturity, charm and experience of the female protagonist, and at the same time, it could make the male protagonist feel an unusual fatherly love or love. This kind of plot arrangement was also common in reality because women tended to mature later than men and had more experiences. Therefore, sometimes in novels, the female protagonist would be much older than the male protagonist. However, the specific plot arrangement and character description still had to be decided according to the theme and plot of the novel.

One common plot device is the mentor - protege dynamic. The older hero, with his more life experiences, can guide the heroine in different aspects of life, like career choices or dealing with family issues. Another is the age - gap - induced conflict. The heroine might struggle with society's perception of their relationship due to the age difference, which adds drama to the story.
