    Are there any similar novels to "Love in Hong Kong," where the female lead becomes the official lover but isn't a pampered wife? I'm open to both Hong Kong and Beijing settings, but I especially love the early stages of the love triangle. I love the Hong Kong style so much; the story is never mindless, and both the male and female leads have their own ways of solving problems. The workplace and business scenarios are realistic. I've read the adapted drama "Snow Falls on My Way Out of Hong Kong Today" and the novel several times, but there's never been a live-action audiobook, not even an AI voice actor. Many other novels I've read have cloying beginnings, then suddenly become inexplicably sweet after just a couple of chapters. I can't find a replacement! There's an audiobook called "No One Else in My Eyes" on Himalaya FM; the beginning was good, but the later kidnapping and mindless repetitive plots became too much to bear.
