Kisses in the Harbor Night

[She'd rather be a powerhouse than a beauty: ambitious heiress VS sharp-tongued but guiding, devoted Third Master Lu]

[Second chance at love | Reunion from the start | Angsty push and pull | Mildly coercive romance | Hong Kong vibe | One-on-one romance]

In the adult world, going more than three months without contact means you're considered broken up.

After Lu Chengxiao had been missing for a full three months, Qi Mian decided she wouldn't wait any longer. She kept backup options, cast her net wide, and changed boyfriends like outfits.

She was serious about letting go of the past, but during a trip, Lu Chengxiao reappeared, interrupted her plans, and dragged her back.

Only this time, she realized she couldn't afford to provoke him.

A new force had arrived in the world of high finance.

She swooped in and snatched up the tycoons' project resources, making no secret of her sharp edge.

Many people watched for the show, convinced Qi Mian would suffer for recklessly barging into the tycoons' circle. Who knew that behind her, a benefactor would appear after another, helping her rise smoothly to success?

Once her career was thriving, Qi Mian chose a marriage alliance with the best candidate.

But when she discovered he was a junior of Lu Chengxiao's, she hurried to leave. Lu Chengxiao twisted her arms behind her back and pinned her against the wall, her clothes in disarray.

The hallway where both families' elders were gathered was just one door away.

The man's reason had deserted him. His voice was dark and ghostly. “Without my say-so, you won't marry anyone in Hong Kong City.”
