[A competitive, food-loving male lead vs. an unambitious, detached female lead]
Readers under 18 or those who haven’t yet formed a healthy set of values should proceed with caution.
“I offer you the loyalty of someone who has never had a faith.”, Herbert, “What Can I Hold You With?”
Xu You is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. She was born unable to speak, but her medical skills are exceptional. Despite her young age, she has treated many patients, including Xie Jingcong.
Power struggles and deceit have long since blackened Xie Jingcong’s heart. He wants no tenderness, only profit. A chance to make money is a businessman’s first principle.
Back in Hong Kong, standing at his hilltop villa and looking down at Victoria Harbour, a view he had seen countless times, Xie Jingcong suddenly felt like jumping.
He felt his heart still beating beneath his fingers and gazed out at the lights in the windows. “Xu You, I think I’m sick too.”
The male lead is not a virgin, while the female lead is. They become a couple in the middle to later part of the story, with an age gap of two years and the male lead younger. This isn’t a Hong Kong-style romance, and it contains many potential dealbreakers, so it’s not recommended.
The male and female protagonists are very attractive!! Nice!
