[Broadway student extra x Wall Street half-Chinese, half-American tycoon]

Xia Simin was destined to be different. She knew Asian actors couldn't get good roles on Broadway, but she still chose to stay, looking forward to every chance to step onstage.

On the eve of the financial crisis, she thought her chance had finally come.

After losing her job, her landlord kicked her out. Manhattan was being lashed by torrential rain, and Xia Simin had nowhere to go in this bustling yet icy city.

A car slowly pulled up. The man inside watched her pitiful figure through the window, set down his glass, and said, "Get in."

Xia Simin had no choice but to obediently get in.

Little did she know, he had been plotting this for a long time.

Later, Xia Simin blushed and asked him softly, "I thought people on Wall Street were all elite professionals."

The man gave a derisive laugh, then silently drew Xia Simin in his arms a little closer. "They're all just thugs who like to take what they want."

...That was true, she had to admit.

[Please note]

1. Set during the 2008 Wall Street financial crisis.

2. Main couple: mutual first love, happy ending.

3. The tycoon is half-Chinese, half-American, and will return to China to develop his career.

Blurb

While studying abroad in Boston on her own, Rong Yi accepted a local boy's invitation to go on a date.

The boy, Noah Wolvitz, was a Harvard oddball: brilliant but antisocial, handsome but unkempt. For some reason, this proud, arrogant guy had taken a liking to Rong Yi.

Eager to improve her spoken English, Rong Yi accepted gladly. She pretended to be a bright, shining little sun, putting up with his sharp tongue and condescension as she tried to practice and improve with his help.

Once Rong Yi had settled into life abroad and had enough of him, she finally got the chance to vent all her resentment and anger. She broke up with him without mercy, then started dating the captain of the football team, the person he hated most.

Seeing him lose his usual arrogance and composure, becoming angry and irrational, Rong Yi was finally satisfied and walked away.

*

...Four years later, Rong Yi's family went bankrupt, leaving her a million yuan in debt, and her life became a mess all over again because of her job prospects.

By sheer coincidence, Rong Yi became Noah's personal assistant, while he had transformed into the youngest billionaire on the Forbes list!

From then on, Rong Yi discovered that every day she not only had to work herself to the bone for him, but also had to work overtime watching him wine and dine with pretty girls and party all night long.

Seriously? Did he really think she couldn't tell that all those influencers, supermodels, and actresses were just part of the act?

Rong Yi was utterly unmoved, and even felt like laughing.

Sure enough, he still liked her.

Thinking that his billions were still missing a woman to rule the household, Rong Yi decided that restoring her family's business was now within reach.
