   [Arranged Marriage, Love at First Sight × A Cinnabar Mole × A Heiress × A Domineering CEO] Lu Hanzhou, a cold-faced tycoon in the business world, is never short of female companions, yet no one can ever truly touch his heart. Until a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Su Xiaoqing, who lives abroad, appears, stirring subtle ripples in his heart. Su Xiaoqing, the heiress of the Su family, has been urgently summoned back to the country by relatives and friends, bringing with her sharp tongue and shrewdness as she re-enters his world. She is the daughter of a family friend with whom he has been at odds since childhood, and also his inescapable betrothal. Under the will of their families, this pair of sworn enemies, who argue every time they meet, are forced into marriage. On their wedding night, Lu Hanzhou sneers, "Don't even think about interfering in my affairs." Su Xiaoqing retorts, "Who cares about picking up someone else's trash?" However, in the clashes of their daily interactions, and in the open and covert battles of the business world, Lu Hanzhou gradually discovers—those years of lingering among women were merely a search for that radiant figure from his memories. When the controversy surrounding the stand-in subsided, he realized with a start that the unforgettable mark in his heart had always belonged to his childhood sweetheart, who had always been his adversary. "I've been searching for your shadow for so many years," he said, pinning her against the wall, his voice hoarse, "but it turns out the real you has always been waiting for me to turn back."

    Don't miss these books!! I'm Min Ye, so I'm back with more book recommendations 💫①🍬 A retired soldier and the eldest daughter of a gambling tycoon's family VS a refined and gentle young master from a scholarly family. A premeditated marriage followed by love, both characters are cunning and manipulative. The female lead is the daughter of the gambling tycoon from Aocheng Sheng family. She's a beautiful, arrogant, and spoiled young lady, but also a dashing retired soldier. Her reason for retiring is to go home and deal with her scumbag father and his mistresses, and incidentally inherit the family fortune |*´`*) The scenes are too beautiful for me to bear. The male lead is the refined and noble young master of the Xie family in Kyoto. He's gentle, cunning, talented, and handsome. The entertainment company boss is also the Xie family heir who has the final say. In his youth, he caught a glimpse of the female lead in Aocheng and secretly loved her for 15 years. When they met again, she pushed a ring in front of him and smiled brightly, "Will you marry me?" 💜💜 People in love are always anxious and insecure 🥺. After marriage, the male lead carefully plots and uses himself as bait to coax her into his arms... (ฅ´ω`ฅ) Read and left a comment 💫②🍬 Noble and beautiful young lady VS carefree and scheming young master The only daughter of the Qiao family, a top-tier wealthy family in Shanghai. Born into a family of pampered beauties, she possessed a stunningly beautiful figure, radiant and charming, with a slender waist and long legs—a true embodiment of wealth and privilege. Belonging to her was the heir of the prestigious Zhou family, whose two families were longtime friends. The male lead even boasted that he was a spoiled princess, demanding and difficult to please, and anyone who dated him would suffer. Then one day, everyone discovered… 💫③🍬 The female lead is aloof and cool, decisive and efficient, with a mysterious identity. The male lead is a possessive and slightly eccentric character, later transforming into a scheming boy. The daughter the Gu family had raised for over a decade was a fake; the real heiress had returned, reportedly from a poor, remote village. The fake heiress, despite her poor grades, was still doted on by the Gu family. However, soon after, the Gu family kicked her out, revealing that she was actually the daughter of the Yun family—a revelation that hadn't yet spread… The Jia family went bankrupt due to tax evasion and embezzlement. The fake heiress, now in prison, continued her antics, using every trick in the book to finally anger many powerful figures. She went to prison along with the Yun family, while the real heiress lent money, and soon her aliases spread across the globe… Super good! 💫⑤🍬🐋 The second male lead rises to power in this crime thriller. It's a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, featuring an age gap, a cold, aloof high-ranking official versus a cool, beautiful mortician. The Nan family goes bankrupt, and Nan Qing has been fostered by the Gu family for decades. Their childhood sweethearts are about to get married. On the eve of their engagement banquet, Gu Zhun is embroiled in a scandal. In a video, Gu Zhun, drunk, blurts out, "Nan Qing is so lifeless dealing with the dead. If it weren't for my family pressuring me, who would even look at her?" Gu Zhun's words turn Nan Qing's ten years of companionship into a joke. Her fiancé ran away from their wedding and disappeared in Nancheng for two years. The playboy heir of the Gu family, however, was consumed by lust and frantically searched for a replacement. He encountered Nan Qing again at the inauguration banquet of the Qi family heir. 31-Year-old Qi Yu had been transferred from Kyoto back to Nancheng to serve as a high-ranking official in a certain department, becoming his direct superior. Amidst the crowd, the composed and aloof man, hand in hand with a stunningly beautiful woman in a cheongsam, walked gracefully towards them. Amidst the teasing of the crowd, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist, saying, "My wife, Nan Qing." 💫⑥🍬A strong-strong alliance of figures from the Beijing elite and a sweet, clean-cut happy ending. A frail but ruthless heiress from Macau versus a devoted and affectionate heir from the Beijing elite. Everyone in the circle knows that the heir of the Beijing elite possesses a string of Buddhist prayer beads that no one can touch; the beads are his taboo, a past that no one dares to mention. The Kyoto merchants have produced many outstanding individuals, and Shang Yuzhi is no exception. He is aloof and indifferent, his stubborn pride even more pronounced than his father's. This prince, feared by all, is utterly unapproachable, yet he indulges Xie Zhixi, the heiress of Aocheng, in every way. He allows Xie Zhixi to play with his cat while others keep their Buddhist beads, which are forbidden to others. To obtain medicine for Xie Zhixi, the prince, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, kneels in the pouring rain, making his way up the mountain. Childhood sweethearts, betrothed at birth, everyone assumed they would naturally be together, but year after year, their love blossoms, yet no one dares to speak of it. Xie Zhixi, the heiress of Aocheng, was born with immense wealth, a pampered rose, her status unshakeable. However, due to premature birth, she is congenitally weak and sickly. At eight years old, a serious illness nearly takes her life. Everyone loves her, but no one can save her. Only one person, unwilling to accept fate, schemes against it, determined to fight his way out… This is an ensemble piece, not just the story of the male and female leads, but the stories of the other characters introduced are also fantastic…

    The first book features a male protagonist from a powerful family and a female protagonist who is a mercenary. It's a very satisfying and humorous read, a story about punishing villains. The second book features a male protagonist who is an illegitimate child and a female protagonist from a less-than-ideal family. The male protagonist has a crush on the female protagonist and eventually wins her over. The supporting characters in this book are also very sweet.
