Sleepless in Hong Kong

[Cool, fallen heiress from the capital ✖️ obsessive, unhinged ghost from Hong Kong's elite circle]

[Fake replacement + man pursues wife after driving her away + powerful man humbles himself + mutual secret crush + devoted to each other]

Everyone knew the Shen family had fallen. They thought she was clinging to the social scene because she wanted Zhou Jin's help and hoped to marry into the powerful Zhou family.

At their graduation reunion, Zhou Jin planned to confess his feelings, but the person he had in mind was naturally not Shen Qingmiao.

A sudden downpour left her drenched and miserable.

A car drove past, with Pei Yu, the cool and refined heir to Hong Kong's elite, sitting in the back.

Perhaps she looked familiar and pitiful, so Pei Yu politely asked if she needed help.

Shen Qingmiao stumbled over her words. “Can you help me?”

The heir's lips curled slightly. “One hundred million for ten years with me.”

-

The Pei and Ying families were about to become engaged, so she promptly packed her bags and booked a flight out of Hong Kong.

She knew he would come looking for her.

She left a note:

[Mr. Pei, please don't look for me. I'll come back when it snows in Hong Kong.]

-

Hong Kong has a subtropical climate. The last time it snowed was in the previous century.

By chance, they met again at a banquet.

The misery rising from deep inside nearly overwhelmed her.

She escaped to the restroom to compose herself, then ran into him again on her way out.

He hadn't changed much since five years ago.

She paused, then asked casually, “Mr. Pei, waiting for someone?”

Pei Yu looked down at her, his expression unreadable. “Not exactly.”

She walked past him, but Pei Yu suddenly spoke.

“I'm waiting for the next snowfall on Hong Kong Island.”

-

Shen Qingmiao: Mr. Pei, it's snowing in my world.

Pei Yu: Mianmian, our child is gone.
