[Kind but not very much, rich second-generation heir x fallen heiress = young master x resilient heiress / reunited after years apart / seven-year age gap]
Gu Zhaoqian pushed open the bar's back door, a cigarette between his lips, and surveyed the dark, filthy alley. Annoyed, he patted all his pockets but couldn't find a lighter.
Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a petite figure sitting on a low stool. A stainless-steel basin beside her was piled high with dishes.
The girl calmly tried to use a lighter to set a grubby tissue alight.
The flame was right next to the paper, but her hand had stopped in midair.
As if she were hesitating.
Gu Zhaoqian immediately came up with two guesses, and interrupted her. "Hey, miss, can I borrow a light?"
The girl jumped in fright. She turned to look at him, then tossed him the lighter. "No need to return it."
Only Gu Zhaoqian knew that He Peiru had been on the verge of a breakdown at the time.

When they met again,
Gu Zhaoqian was a young master whom everyone treated with deference, while He Peiru was a fallen heiress reclaimed by a wealthy family.
Years had passed, and both their lives had changed beyond recognition. Neither had expected the person they had longed for to be right in front of them.
Until everything came full circle--
The most brilliant fireworks bloomed over Repulse Bay.

Words Are Useless
[Movie mogul x up-and-coming screenwriter / stubborn x reserved / reunited after years apart / groveling to win back his wife]
In everyone's eyes, director's program student Shen Chongyan and theatrical literature student Qi Guiluo were a perfect match, a golden couple.
Their films were bound to sweep the awards.
But on the day Shen Chongyan took his master's graduation photos, he was alone, searching everywhere for Qi Guiluo without finding her.
-
At Shen Chongyan's graduation dinner, Qi Guiluo arrived late because she was busy. Outside the private room, she heard someone inside say with absolute certainty, "Don't forget to invite us when you and Qi Guiluo get married."
She stopped at the door, waiting to hear Shen Chongyan's answer--
"We're business partners."
The room fell silent. Qi Guiluo didn't hesitate again. She turned and walked away without looking back.
Seven words seemed to prove that all the effort she'd put in over the past year and more had been worthless. The relationship she had thought was hanging by a thread shattered completely.
-
Later--
Shen Chongyan became a film investor known for his discerning taste, while Qi Guiluo became a promising new screenwriter.
He was exacting and critical about scripts. She kept a secret identity and remained reserved and proper.
After many twists and turns, Shen Chongyan finally managed to contact the writer of a script he loved, and immediately offered her a deal.
A well-connected investor in the industry reassured Qi Guiluo, saying, "Rumor has it that Mr. Shen isn't interested in women. Miss Qi, you can rest easy."
The dinner went well, and they settled their collaboration in just a few words.
But when Qi Guiluo stepped out to take a call, Shen Chongyan followed her and grabbed her wrist as she turned around.
Before he could speak, she pulled away and said, "We're business partners. Please show some restraint, Mr. Shen."

Both leads are sexually inexperienced. Three-year age gap.

Their films are sure to win awards. Unexpectedly, on the day Shen Chongyan took his master's graduation photos, he was alone, looking around for Qi Guiluo but nowhere to be found. Qi Guiluo was late for Shen Chongyan's graduation dinner because he was busy. Outside the private room, he heard the people inside say confidently: "Don't forget to invite us when you and Qi Guiluo get married." She stopped at the door and wanted to hear Shen Chongyan's answer—— "We are a partnership." There was silence in the private room. Qi Guiluo no longer hesitated and turned to leave without looking back. These seven words seemed to confirm that the sweat she had put in for more than a year was worthless, and the relationship that she thought was on the verge of collapse was completely broken. Later—— Shen Chongyan is recognized as a film investor with unique vision, and Qi Guiluo is a new screenwriter with high hopes. One has a critical eye for scripts, while the other is reserved and meticulous in his vest. After many twists and turns, Shen Chongyan tried his best to contact the creator of his favorite script, and immediately extended an olive branch. In order to reassure Qi Guiluo, a familiar investor in the circle told her: "There are rumors that Mr. Shen is not a womanizer, so Miss Qi can rest assured." The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, and cooperation was agreed upon in a few words. Unexpectedly, when Qi Guiluo went out to answer the phone, when he turned around, his wrist was grabbed by Shen Chongyan who followed him. She didn't wait for Shen Chongyan to speak, and said while shaking off: "We are a cooperative relationship, Mr. Shen respects himself."
