[Hong Kong Elite Power Games and Business Rivalry, A High-IQ Workplace Romance, A Woman's Growth]
"If diamonds could speak, one would tell you that I love you."
Li Mu drags along a twenty-inch suitcase containing a robot model. A sudden downpour leaves her stranded beneath the narrow awning of a magazine stall, where she struggles to keep the suitcase dry.
As she stares at the waterproof plastic sheet covering the magazines, she spots a headline: Zhaoji lands a photovoltaic power project worth tens of billions; Young Master Liang Sichel, thirty-two and unmarried, spends every night among women and takes no responsibility.
Those three words shine like gold on the cover of a gossip magazine. But Li Mu knows she once saw him at his most miserable in the United States.
He was disheveled and locked in an abandoned barn all night. He saw her dormitory badly damaged and told her not to call the police. He spent the night drinking with his fraternity brothers, unable to protect his girlfriend.
Those were exactly the reasons Li Mu decided to break up with this top heir to a wealthy family after graduating from college.
"Liang Sichel, I don't want to end up like my mother. Like a dazzling diamond, looked over by everyone, yet with no one wanting to know what's inside."
"Diamonds have all kinds of uses. They're not just for wearing. You need diamonds to cut glass, and to dissipate heat in computer chips."
1. A subtle ensemble cast, with no second female lead and no rivalry between women. The women who appear are family and friends with their own couples, and they help move the story forward.
2. This isn't the usual domineering CEO and naive ingenue story. Both protagonists have their own interests, vulnerabilities, and growth.
3. All characters and events are fictional.
