   "A Joyful Marriage in Beijing" features an adorable Beijing socialite and a reserved, aloof Hong Kong socialite CEO. "My Rich Husband is Mute? Don't Panic, I'm a Loudspeaker" features a cheerful, talkative girl and a powerful, aphasic tycoon (the male lead's condition improves later). Highly recommend these two books!!! Both are arranged marriages that blossom into love, and they're incredibly good!!! The first one is a bit bittersweet, the second is lighter. 🥰

    Rain streamed down Su Yinian's cheeks, mingling with the blood from her lips and dripping onto her expensive haute couture gown. She huddled in a corner of the alley behind the club, the sounds of camera shutters and sharp mockery still echoing in her ears. "Miss Su actually went on a drunken rampage at a charity gala!" "I heard she even tried to seduce Young Master Lu but was rejected..." "She's completely disgraced the Su family!" Every word stabbed at her heart like a knife. Su Yinian trembled as she pulled out her phone; the screen was already overflowing with missed calls and messages. At the top was an urgent message from her father's secretary: "President Su suffered a sudden heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. The company's stock price plummeted by 30%, and the Lu Group is launching a hostile takeover." Her finger hovered over the screen, hesitant to open the next message. It was from Song Xiran: "Nian Nian, I'm sorry, I really love Yunhui... We didn't mean to hurt you..." "Ha... Didn't mean to?" Su Yinian sneered, a metallic taste rising in her throat. Just three hours earlier, she had witnessed Song Xiran and Lu Yunhui kissing passionately in the lounge, and her champagne had clearly been drugged. Her phone suddenly vibrated; a text message from an unknown number read: "If you want to save the Su family, come to the abandoned printing factory in the east of the city at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Only you are allowed to come. —K" Su Yinian stared at the message from an unknown source, her fingers clenched until they turned white. Reason told her this was likely a trap, but at this moment she had nothing left. Rain soaked the screen; the letter "K" twisted and deformed in the raindrops, resembling a devil's smile. The next morning, Su Yinian stood before the rusty gate of the printing factory. She had changed into a simple black suit, her long hair tied up high, the dark circles under her eyes revealing that she hadn't slept all night. Pushing open the creaking iron gate, the dimly lit factory was filled with the smell of dust and machine oil. Sunlight streamed in through the broken windows, illuminating a figure in the center with their back to her. "Who are you?" Su Yinian stopped warily, her fingers stealthily reaching for the pepper spray in her bag. The man slowly turned around; only his slender silhouette was visible against the backlight. "Miss Su, it's an honor to meet you." A deep male voice echoed in the empty factory. "I am Ji Chen." When his face was fully revealed to the light, Su Yinian gasped. She had seen this face in financial magazines—Ji Chen, Wall Street's most mysterious Chinese investment genius, who at only twenty-eight years old controlled a hedge fund worth billions of dollars, yet suddenly disappeared a month ago. "Why are you helping me?" Su Yinian asked directly. "What do you want?" Ji Chen chuckled and stepped out of the shadows. He wore a simple black turtleneck sweater and trousers, yet exuded a suffocating sense of oppression. "Revenge." He parted his thin lips slightly. "I'm just like you; I want to see Lu Yunhui ruined." Su Yinian narrowed her eyes. "What grudge do you have against Lu Yunhui?" "That's not important." Ji Chen took a document from his briefcase and handed it to her. "What's important is that I can help you protect the Su Group and let you personally take revenge on those two who betrayed you." Su Yinian opened the document, her pupils suddenly contracting. It detailed all the financial loopholes and illegal operations of the Lu Group over the past three years, and even included photos of Lu Yunhui and Song Xiran's secret meetings that lasted for half a year. "How... How did you..." "I have my channels." Ji Chen interrupted her. "The conditions are simple—I want 51% of the Su Group's controlling stake, and your complete cooperation." "Are you crazy?" Su Yinian slammed the document shut. "What's the difference between this and giving the company to you?" Ji Chen approached slowly until their breaths were audible. The faint scent of cedar on him inexplicably reminded Su Yinian of the smell of her father's study when she was a child. "The difference is," he whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, "that in my hands, the Su family is still the Su family. In Lu Yunhui's hands, it will only become a pile of waste paper." Su Yinian bit her lower lip, her nails digging deep into her palms. She looked up and stared directly into Ji Chen's deep eyes: "Why me? With your abilities, you could easily deal with Lu Yunhui yourself." A subtle fluctuation appeared in Ji Chen's expression, fleeting. "Because," he took a step back, his voice suddenly turning cold, "only you understand them best, and only you... Can make them suffer the most." Just then, Su Yinian's phone rang. It was the hospital calling—her father had woken up, but his condition was very serious. She hung up the phone, her eyes red but stubbornly refusing to let the tears fall. "I agree." She held out her hand, "but on one condition—Song Xiran and Lu Yunhui must be dealt with by me personally." Ji Chen looked at her trembling but determined hand, a cryptic smile curving his lips. "Deal." He gripped her hand, his grip almost painful. "Welcome to the revenge game, Ms. Su." Three days later, the Su Group held an emergency board meeting. When Su Yinian appeared in the meeting room with Ji Chen, the room erupted in commotion. "This is Mr. Ji Chen. From today onwards, he will assume the role of CEO of the Su Group," Su Yinian announced calmly, ignoring the shocked gazes of the board members. Lu Yunhui sat opposite her, his handsome face adorned with feigned concern: "Nian Nian, your father is seriously ill, and you are currently emotionally unstable. You must be careful in making decisions." "Mr. Lu is right," Ji Chen suddenly spoke, his voice not loud but instantly silencing the entire meeting room. "Therefore, I have invited a top international team of cardiologists to consult with Chairman Su." He smiled at Lu Yunhui, "I will personally cover the expenses, so Mr. Lu need not trouble himself." Lu Yunhui's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting this move. "Mr. Ji is very generous, but the current situation of the Su family..." "I am well aware of the Su family's situation." Ji Chen interrupted him, taking a document from his assistant. "This is my company's development plan for the next three years, including a strategic cooperation with the JKL Group of the United States." He paused deliberately. "By the way, wasn't this originally a project that the Lu family was negotiating?" The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became subtle. Lu Yunhui's smile froze on his face, and Su Yinian noticed that as Ji Chen spoke, his gaze was fixed on Song Xiran behind Lu Yunhui. Song Xiran's face turned pale, and the pen in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter. After the meeting, Su Yinian followed Ji Chen into the president's office. As soon as the door closed, she couldn't help but question, "What's going on with the JKL project? When did you..." "Last night." Ji Chen loosened his tie, revealing a sly smile, "My college roommate is the current CEO of JKL." Su Yinian froze, "So what you said at the board meeting..." "It was all made up on the spot." Ji Chen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the panoramic city view, "But it will become real tomorrow. My people are already signing contracts with JKL." Su Yinian suddenly realized that the man in front of her was far more dangerous than the rumors suggested. She walked to his side, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the question that had been bothering her for days: "Ji Chen, who exactly are you?" Ji Chen didn't answer immediately. Sunlight streamed through the glass, illuminating his profile and outlining a sharp contour. After a long while, he said softly, "Someone who hates Lu Yunhui even more than you do." Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open. Song Xiran stood in the doorway, tears welling in her eyes: "Niannian, can we talk? Just the two of us..." Su Yinian's body tensed instantly, her nails digging into her palms again. Ji Chen stood silently in front of her, blocking Song Xiran's view. "I'm sorry, Ms. Song," he said coldly, "President Su has three meetings to attend." Song Xiran bit her lip, then suddenly knelt down: "Niannian, I know I was wrong! Yunhui forced me to do this, I never intended to hurt you..." Su Yinian watched her best friend kneeling on the ground, crying, her heart feeling as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand. She remembered Song Xiran staying up all night with her to help her study in college, Song Xiran comforting her when she was heartbroken, their promise to be each other's godmothers... Just as she was about to soften, Ji Chen suddenly squeezed her wrist. The slight pain brought her back to her senses—she remembered the photos, the medicine in the champagne, and her father lying in the hospital bed. "Security." Su Yinian heard her own voice, eerily calm. "Please leave, Miss Song." After Song Xiran was taken away, Su Yinian's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to her knees. Ji Chen caught her in time and led her to the sofa. "The first time is always the hardest." He handed her a glass of water, his tone unusually gentle. "But you must remember—to be merciful to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself." Su Yinian looked up at him and suddenly noticed a faint scar on his left ring finger, shaped like the letter "Y." "Your hand..." She asked instinctively. Ji Chen quickly withdrew his hand, his expression turning cold again. "Get ready, we're meeting some important clients tomorrow." He turned and walked towards his desk, clearly ending the conversation. Su Yinian watched his retreating figure, her questions growing. What deep-seated hatred existed between Ji Chen and Lu Yunhui? Why did he choose to help her? And what about that scar? But at this moment, she was more concerned with something else—when Song Xiran knelt down and begged for mercy, she actually felt a sense of pleasure. This unfamiliar feeling frightened her, yet also inexplicably excited her. The gears of revenge had begun to turn, and she was stepping deeper and deeper into an unknown abyss.

    **Recommendation Reason: *The Night in the Capital* – The Ultimate Entanglement Between a Wall Street Tycoon and a Fallen Heiress** If you're fascinated by stories of wealthy families' feuds, reconciliations, and intensely agonizing love, *The Night in the Capital* is definitely worth adding to your bookshelf! This novel, with its intense dramatic conflict and delicate emotional tension, creates a heart-pounding adult fairy tale. Jiang Wanzhi appears to be a pure and innocent girl, but harbors a hidden sharpness, remaining resilient despite her fall from grace; Ximen Lichen transforms from a scion of a research family into a Wall Street "tycoon," wielding immense power yet willing to bow down for love. The reversal of their identities (ex becomes "uncle") and the clash of their personalities (pure vs. Obsessive) are highly compelling. Especially noteworthy is Ximen Lichen's contrasting public persona of aloofness and brooding arrogance, coupled with his humble plea for love in private. His simple "Baby, I'm sorry" instantly shatters the reader's defenses, making him a prime example of a "top-tier love-obsessed male protagonist." A bittersweet emotional rollercoaster: Three years ago, the female lead broke up with her boyfriend decisively; three years later, the male lead forcefully forces her to annul their engagement, only to reveal his lingering obsession in the chaos. From revenge to surrender, from relentless entanglement to submission, every step is an adrenaline rush – a confrontation in a Koenigsegg, an ambiguous violence behind a door, a dramatic counterattack with a "leg thrust"... The author perfectly blends sexual tension and emotional conflict with highly dramatic scenes, creating a wild and sensual experience. The tagline "Wall Street's all-powerful figure, Jiang Wanzhi's devoted follower" encapsulates the male lead's power and subservience into a single, fatally captivating line: "She flees, he chases; he can't escape." Whether you're looking for a tale of power struggles and lust in Beijing's elite circles, *Beijing Nights of Desire* will keep you up all night with its insanely passionate and gripping plot.
