    This is the one! The beginning is almost entirely in Cantonese. The female lead is incredibly business-minded, owns her own company, and is sometimes so busy she doesn't even have time for the male lead. In the early chapters, the male lead's pursuit of her is so long and arduous—who can imagine the tension? Also, the female lead initially feels there's a huge gap in their social status, and she directly tells the male lead this. He says it's his problem to solve, and he lives up to that. Don't be put off by the cover, title, or synopsis; it feels a bit melodramatic.

    I'm shamelessly recommending one of my own books, a Hong Kong-style period novel set in 1990s Hong Kong. The female lead is a time traveler, and the male lead is a triad boss. The interactions between the male and female leads are incredibly sweet, sweet from beginning to end. If you like Hong Kong style and sweet romance novels, don't miss it.

    🌈🌈🌸Shen Luyin was the most pampered young master of the Shen family. That summer, he picked up Xie Qiaonan, who seemed like a "poor boy" (but was actually the Hong Kong heir who had been stranded due to family disputes). He treated Xie Qiaonan with all his heart, only to have Xie Qiaonan disappear without a trace after taking his sincerity, which became the stupidest thing he ever did. For five years, Shen Luyin's only persistence was sending money to that empty account. It wasn't until the financial headlines featured Xie Qiaonan's cold face—"The New Head of the Xie Family in Hong Kong"—that Shen Luyin realized he hadn't just raised a stray dog, but had fed a wolf that had been plotting for a long time.

    Super good! This book focuses on the everyday life of the characters, and their emotions are very rich. Although they are wealthy, neither the male nor female lead relies on money. The characters are bold in love and hate and are able to let go of the initial struggles. There's a little bit of angst, but it gets super sweet later on. Overall, it's a very good book and I highly recommend it. It's very realistic and engaging.
