    This is an ensemble piece. The main plot revolves around a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, while the secondary plot involves a gangster's illegitimate son seeking revenge. It's a heartwarming love story where a vengeful Scorpio man meets a naive, cheerful, and passionate Pisces woman (the female lead isn't a naive or innocent character). The revenge plot is quite gory (everyone is ruthless; anyone even slightly foolish will die), so it's not recommended for those who dislike this kind of content.

    My first self-recommendation! Nicknamed "Love Expert," "Han Han the Second," "The Stinky Street Vendor," and "Chef Li," he's a sunny, humorous, and secretly passionate guy with a touch of insecurity and a strong will. A poor boy, yet incredibly popular with the opposite sex, and a sincere person working in the most hypocritical industry… Set in Shenzhen, Guangdong in 2008, the story tells of Li Zhe's legendary rise from humble beginnings to success in the business world, along with a touching love story. It's also a memoir of youth for working-class people born in the 80s and 90s. The novel is engaging and full of period detail, offering practical workplace advice, life wisdom, insights into growth, and a mix of humor and pathos. It's a thoughtful work for patient and discerning readers, perfect for slow and careful reading.
